Cheetah7798 Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 When I first bought the I-16, I didn't know what to expect. Now, in hindsight, I can say with confidence that nothing can express the appreciation I have for the I-16 and you, the Devs. Without a doubt, one of the more beautiful modules in DCS, exhibiting a feeling of care and dedication throughout. Thank you, Merry Christmas, and all the best on your new endeavours. I look forward to seeing what's to come. 2

Doc3908 Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 I was looking forward to reading an update in today's new Open Beta release, but I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer... 1
Mogster Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I wonder if the La-7 will just appear as the I-16 did pretty much It’ll be a beast online no doubt, Luftwaffe flyers are not going to be happy... 2

I think Brown mentioned these along with the limited and poor quality instruments and high cockpit workload. These practical problems won’t really be reflected in the sim though. Low level the La-7 will be a perfect beast. Edited February 3, 2022 by Mogster
Doc3908 Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Another OB update today and still no announcement. The suspense is killing me! LoL! To be honest, I'm not sure what to expect from the La-7. Aside from historical accounts, the only thing I have to go by is the La-5FN in that other sim. I find that plane a bit of a pig - not particularly fast, no quick acceleration, looses energy easily in a turning fight even with careful stick and throttle handling. Then again, I, personally, don't put much stock into any of the FMs modeled in the other sim. Besides, that one is a La-5FN, not a La-7. Given the strive for utmost realism in DCS and the remarkable job that OctopusG did on the I-16, I expect that his La-7 will be much closer to real life - for better or worse. Either way, I can't wait! Edited February 5, 2022 by Doc3908 1
Callsign112 Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Love the DCS model of this beautiful piece of aviation history. Really one of the best valued modules in DCS, and the incoming updates are going to double down on that. Looking forward to the patch.

PLAAF Posted March 19, 2022 Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) When can we have the axis control for mixture back? You can't make this more realistic unless we can have realistic control on the mixture.

StormBat Posted March 30, 2022 Posted March 30, 2022 So this update hasn't been released yet? I had to uninstall my I-16 to make room from the last big patch, but I would install it again in a heartbeat if this update was implemented. OctopusG can we get a G-50 or something similar to fight against?

IcedVenom Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Does anyone know if the I-16's flight model now is more realistic than it was when it first came out? Back then it was more unstable and wild-feeling. Now it's very precise and stable, you can fly without holding onto the stick even. Is this accurate?
Callsign112 Posted April 18, 2022 Posted April 18, 2022 Nothing in the most recent change-log. Still waiting for the announced update.

Plexus Posted June 22, 2022 Author Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Ishak flies to the Release. It's time for great news! After painstaking work, we move the project to the Release status. Release Changelog: Added EN and RU Flight Manual Added Training Missions Added a few Single Missions Added Throttle Extra Stroke Zone for air throttle direct control Fixed Mixture Control: added lever central “Normal” position to automatic control with lock and enrich and lean control and physics Added Ground Power Unit for electrical starter that enables by intercom command Added Wheel Chocks that enables by intercom command Added Failures for: boost regulator mixture governor oxygen governor collimator sight gear drag tensioner Added EN Cockpit Controls Indicator improved: added brakes and RPM axis with nominal mark Added axis input for WEP, mixture, cowl flaps, oil radiator controls Added keys input for separate side doors control Fixed Altimeter behavior during zero altitude setting Fixed Quickstart Missions: weather in the Ground Attack and day-time in Free Flight Added new paint schemes: “Red Five” Aerobatic Team, Silver Demo, Silver-black Demo. The radio is not finished yet as we are still awaiting technical support from ED. However, it may be said that this temporary drawback is consistent with historical realities, since only a small number of I-16s were supplied with radio stations. Anyway, we hope to be able to add the radio in the next updates. In the future, we plan to expand the content of the module. Follow the news. We wish you pleasant flights!

Japo32 Posted June 22, 2022 Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) and it says that has been added several single player missions, but I only see the quick instant action stage flights, and the tutorial ones. We need missions and campaign if possible in the normandy or channel map, as there is nothing to download from the users area appart of the mbot dynamic campaign, so I hope in future more missions comes from the dev to give some playability to the plane. In any case, thanks for the update. It is very well welcome specially the english cockpit. Edited June 22, 2022 by Japo32
Plexus Posted June 22, 2022 Author Posted June 22, 2022 Indeed, we observe that the current update did not include: - EN Flight Manual - EN Training Missions - Voice for Training Missions - Single Missions Moreover, the Intercom broke down, which is why it is impossible to startup the aircraft without airfield power supply. We will try to deal the situation as soon as possible. 2 7
