You must know by now that there is no computer software without bugs. Think about it next time you board that shiny Boeing aircraft!

“Its always fixed.”
No, it isn’t. Sometimes big software projects are so bad, they’re eventually abandoned, especially when the government is involved. See the FBI’s Virtual Case File software project that was so bad, they just gave up and abandoned it, after spending $170 million. Mega-software projects entail tremendous complexity and risk, and it doesn’t always pay off.

Usually, when planes start falling from the sky or their is a major malfunction in the cockpit its a sign there is a software problem.Pilots want their machine to be 100 percent condition.

this will not be abandoned. all parties want to see a happy ending.
To: DesScorp
It does not look favorably on the manufacturer or the Pentagon to have their planes flying with problems. Remember, they are selling these planes to other nations.Its best to double check their work and get it right the first time.

Of course they want a happy ending. This is the premier plane of the 21st century and a cornstone of the USAF,USMC and many other countries air forces.They have already started training at Eglin AFB

I hope Microsoft is not doing the software.

Apparently you've never served in tactical aviation. Aircraft are rarely, if ever, at "100 percent". You might want to learn about up gripes and down gripes.

I agree. Microsoft is not a good choice. It looks like Lockheed doing the software

This is interesting:
one of the largest and most complex software development efforts in Pentagon history

From what I’ve read, the F-35 has over 10 million lines of code. By comparison, the software of the F-22, which was considered to be far beyond that of any other combat aircraft in the world, had only 5 million lines of code. The F/A-18 Super Hornet has about 1.5 million lines.

Could be MicroSoft.. it takes 24 million lines of code to run Microsoft Word. (sarc).

I guess those were tough to fly, but has always been my favorite to look at.

I would’ve thought he command to jettison all stores would be more complex. Go figure.
