It looks like the F-22 isn't the only aircraft with teething problems. See:

Anyone care to speculate on how long it will take de-bug this aircraft?

given time i'd say about 12 months.

Huh? That's like saying "If I were an Elk, I could wear it on my
watch-chain. If I had a watch-chain."

Its only a software fault right?

You're joking. How many lines of code? How many processes? How many
processors? What sort of integration tools?
If it were easy, they wouldn't have written the problem in in the
first place.

being that it will only screw up the jet if it flew into cloud .
Man all these prolems remind me of the time the RAF first put the
hunter into service

You mean fielding a fighter with such short range that if coulsn't
complete its designed point defence mission, or fire its weapons, and
with a powerplant that needed a complete redesign before it was
acceptable in service? (We won't get into the Great Airbrake Scandal.)
