Jacks Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 After reading into the I-16, it appears to be slower in the cruise and dive when compared to the 109 but has a better climb rate at low altitudes and can out tun a 109. It is also a smaller target with similar firepower and a reliable power plant up front. So it may be able to give the 109 a run for its money. It sounds like a good turn fighter and if a pilot can drag the 109 down low and get into a turn fight then it may hold the upper hand. Looking forward to this aircraft. System Specs: i7 8700k @ 5.0GHz (not delidded), ASRock Extreme4 Z370 MOBO, EVGA GTX 1080 SC 8GB, 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz DDR4 RAM, Samsung Evo 240GB SSD, Samsung Evo 500GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Noctura NH-D15S Heat Sink, Acer VE278H 27" 1080p Monitor, Ocukus Rift CV1. Controllers: TrackIR 5, Thrustmaster HOTAS X, Saitek Throttle Quadrant (with DIY removable collective mod), Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals. Just trying to keep my number of takeoffs and landings equal!
Aginor Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Hey guys! Any news on this? It looks so good and so complete already, I am tempted to ask whether you have talked to ED for registering as an official 3rd party or even have an estimated release date already.... :) DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet

The main problem of the I-16 is its engine, really. It's powerful enough (Don't expect to outrun a 109 though), but it lacks a carburettor, which means it'll cut out quickly in negative G maneuvers. Other than that, it easily outturns most if not all German fighters. Firepower is good (Especially on variants that add a couple cannons), and it's just fun to fly overall. Great little plane !
msalama Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 but it lacks a carburettor Do you mean it lacks a fuel injection system? Because conventional carburetors cut out under negative G. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Cool Breeze Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Man, DCS is going to drive the rest of the flight sim world out business. Hope y'all are planning to put a few more aircraft like this into DCS. She looks fantastic! Any plans on a roadmap?
