======================================================

Well, here it is in final form, my one mission F117 Stealth Fighter sim
set at the outset of the Gulf War.  Hope you enjoy!

INSTALLATION:

The base sim is inclosed in F117.ZIP - unzip the sim to a directory, but
ensure you use the -d switch to rebuild directories.  This is necessary
for the sim to function properly.  For example:

pkunzip f117.zip c:\f117 -d

Start the sim with F117.BAT.


There is also an optional (but REALLY COOL) multimedia front end.  
This is f117_FE.ZIP.  Simply unzip this file into your F117 directory.
To start the sim now, type F117 (the EXE will run, and not the BAT).

That's it!

Oh, ya, if you want sound, don't forget your soundcard must be set to IRQ 7,
otherwise, you will only get PC-beeps.  Sorry.

=======================================================

FLYING THE F117

The plane handles pretty well, probably much better than the real 'Wobbly
Goblin' - she has trouble flying
less than 60% thrust, and stalls with full flaps just under 100knots -
so a bit of a hot ship, but I think that is the way it is. Also, don't
forget to trim the plane out once you get to cruise speed and altitude - use
the KEYPAD + and KEYPAD - to trim.   She will tend to fly a little 'nose-up'
at cruise, so put the trim down a bit to get a nice flight.

The mission is basically to take off from your airbase in Saudi Arabia, fly to
Baghdad (about 10min direct flight), attack the Intelligence Headquarters, and
land at home safely.  The world is modeled at half scale (otherwise it would be 
too boring to fly the length of Iraq) but your fuel is adjusted accordingly!  

Navigation is complicated by the inoperative compass, so become familiar with the
Waypoint system and DME's.

There are lots of neat things to see in this sim, for example, Tomahawk
attacks F111 bombing, circling AWACS, and very rich cities...even Saddam's
palace!  Feel free to explore.

Anyway, have fun, and don't forget to register (see USAGE.TXT)
