F-117 documents were leaked on War Thunder forums this week i think.

As a life-long fan of the F-117 (I played the F-19 and F-117 games by Microprose), was there anything of interest in those documents? Asking for a friend.

It's another flight manual like the Eurofighter DA.7 last week (iirc).

Oh man, you played too? There's dozens of us!

I remember having to learn how to use DOS commands to load the cd and start the game.

Back then it was on floppy disks!

I played the F-117 game on DosBox a few years ago, settings to full realism/full difficulty and it was surprisingly easy. I also really miss the Microprose-style UIs in modern games, only few game developers put the work into making an immersive UI (one such positive example is the game "Highfleet").

Yeah get a load of that guy with his fancy CDs.

Mine was 5.25” floppies. (F19)

I’ve never tried it on an emu because I figured I don’t have the manual so I wouldn’t know what all the keys did :(

Was Tank Platoon also microprose? That game was awesome too.

I only had Lemmings on 5.25, I think they came in a pack of promotional disks from my dad's office. The brokers had to stay busy in between avoiding another 1987 Black Monday.

Lemmings was also a great game. I thought that was early 90s though.

Also had Loom and Monkey Island on 5.25.

I don't think so. Technically it was only classified for certain foreign entities, and even an incredibly poor spy network would have been able to get access to them if they really wanted them.

Gaijin nuked that thread likely out of an abundance of caution. They never seen to get in trouble for this thing happening so my guess is they have the proper authorities on speed dial.
