From the streams I was assuming the radar was the last big thing that was done, so I think its also the thing that will still get a lot of work done.

At least in a different simulator it is indeed used as a kneeboard/navigation table. It would be cool to be used in the same function in DCS, especially because there already is a kneeboard function in the game anyway.

The controls are really messed up rn. The gear control is missing too isnt it? At least i didnt find anything related to it.

Noticed it too, would be nice if the developet could at least look at the bug reports once in a while so the module wont be absolutely broken in some time. Because the I-16 itself is a nice aircraft.

If you wanna fly helicopters i would highly recommend it (for most planes in DCS its not really needed imo). Ive flown helis with a twist joystick for a long time and my hand and wrist was always in some awkward position that i could never leave because once i left the "pedals" doing their thing the heli goes everywhere except straight. Gets very annoying if you have to fly for an hour or more. With the pedals the helis feel more like a plane, far more stable, i just keep a little but more force on one pedal and the thing goes where i want without thinking or taking much care of it. And if i wanna turn a bit ill just use the pedals and it turns on a dime. Also the helicopter feels far more stable in flight, because its easy to make very small corrections. Imo for helis its the best buy you can make, flying with twist stick is very awkward and annoying, flying a helicopter with pedals on the other hand is really nice. I would guess though with the heavy and fast Mi-24 will be easier to fly with a twist stick than a light Huey.

Imo it would be better though if you could just turn it on or off, like all the other unrealistic things like CCIP for example.

That was definitely added later on (i think with the canopy rework?), so i guess it was intentional, although its imo a bit of a weird change, because why would you do that.

Libyan MiG-21 :o

There are some weird ones, slovenian flag also doesnt look quiet right.

Cockpit itself is done but it needs to be implemented into the plane. And Dolphin is working on F4U rn because they have a contract with ED to deliver it. Also it doesnt make much sense to implement many new features now when the plane gets a new cockpit model anyway.

For me it works without any problem, i only use the same "realistic" gear retraction method, but i don't use the keyboard commands. Normally I only had problems with it when I got fast, then it seems to be harder/unable to retract due to the speed.

There is an auto-start and i don't understand how the landing gear handling is supposed to be more complicated than it already is. Whats unrealistic about it and where is it simplified?

Yeah for that that its only one guy the I-16 and An-2 is amazing. Only thing i miss is that he doesnt seem very active here, only on FB. But im also pretty sure its not abandoned.

Btw also no to F-14, i dont even like the idea of F-4E and MiG-23 on the server, maybe a mission with them and after that a mission without them, the MiG-21s and F-5s wont have any chance vs these planes.

Oh, yes, thats possible. Sad that it never got updated, there is a huge amount different ones, but never any updated for 2.5.x. But I also think a skin contest is always a great idea, for every aircraft!
