NATO Fighters (Update 5 installed) + F-117 wonkiness

Is there something screwy with the F-117? I can track my target, lock on to the target, open bomb bay doors, and cannot release the weapon.

Also, I've noticed that the arming screen shows one weapon, where there are two present on the aircraft when you fly the mission.

...also the second weapon is a "dumb" bomb, which I find unlikely.

...Fixed the non-launch problem. Apparently brainiac me forgot to map 'release selected weapon.'

...but still: wingmen don't drop bombs, and the two bombs don't match.

 

Is this a limitation of the software? I did a search for f-117 here and had no hits, so it wasn't like I didn't try looking. =)

 

Any responses would be lovely.

The AI has a problem using Laser Guided weapons... thats why there is a Dumb bomb for the GBU Classes so they actually drop the bombs... with yourself you need to switch the bombs to the standard variant and then use those though if in a F-117 its best to go out alone at night...

How does one tell their wingman to stay home in a campaign, and is there a way to set this as default for F-117 campaigns?

just tell them to RTB, and proceed yourself

Heh. Actually, I figured this one out too--you can drop them from the mission using the "Roster" menu item. Considering my callsign is "Friendly Fire" (from when I worked at Microprose--ask T.K. some time) it's best I leave them at home.
