Plexus Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Dear pilots, we are happy to announce you big DCS: I-16 update! It will include: - heating physics (cylinder and oil heating and cooling were fixed) - pilot and parachute shapes (we've created correct model for walking after flying) - high speed level flight tweak (no need to handle stick and pedals to maintain it anymore) - motor shutdown process (much faster now) - oil radiator animation added on external model - kneeboard enabled - fuel meter scale increased - gunsight and cockpit lighting tweak Also, we are finishing main manual, learning missions - WIP. So, we are on the way to release. Thank you for your patience! Edited December 16, 2020 by Plexus 20 2
Rudel_chw Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Great news, I really missed having more contact with the developer of this beautiful and nice aircraft. I'm looking forward to having an operable kneeboard, as currently I have to use a Mod (by @Tempest ) .. please, if you can, enable the radio so we can contact ATC when landing Best regards 3 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
xvii-Dietrich Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Oh wow! Really cool. Looking forward to this.
Doc3908 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Honestly, I find the current model close to perfect, but I do look forward to seeing what new features the developer has come up with. Mostly, I'm glad to see that the I-16 has not been abandoned.

fjacobsen Posted December 23, 2020 Posted December 23, 2020 Great news . This module felt very finished at release, but enhancements are always welcomed.

dggoofy Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Well, sounds very exciting... but when ? Very saddly, still nothing in the lastest update... 1
Plexus Posted January 28, 2021 Author Posted January 28, 2021 Greetings! In our next update, we have added drop tanks, which by as many as 186 liters expand Rata’s flight capabilities and number of mechanical levers and cables in the cab. We also made some bug fixes and improvements to the cockpit textures. We hope that our updates will finally be available in the next DCS update. 10 2
YSIAD_RIP Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Hi Plexus - The updates you mention are exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased this most unique plane.

Cool Breeze Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 It's really amusing that this little bumble bee has drop tanks! Lol Thanks for the amazing work on the I-16 guys.

dggoofy Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Good news and the radio seems to become reality!
Plexus Posted April 23, 2021 Author Posted April 23, 2021 Hello, everyone! For next DCS update we have used new ED's propeller visualisation technology. Thanx ED for evolution and support! 7 2
YSIAD_RIP Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 The original I-16 propeller was already very well done. An updated propeller using virtualization technology will just make the I-16 look even better. Thanks Plexus!

thrustvector Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 good news man, thank you for the updates to this great little bird 1
Plexus Posted December 24, 2021 Author Posted December 24, 2021 Dear connoisseurs of the history of aviation and the virtual sky! We have prepared for you a short report on the main work done on the project over the past year. The results of this work will be available in a large release update. An electrical system with power supplies and consumers has been implemented. The ability of the battery to charge and discharge was added. We added an option to set an external ground power supply. From now it is necessary to use it for start-up, since the starter circuit is powered from an external source. Manual starter’s running is also provided. Along with the external battery, the installation of wheel chocks appeared, which is required to warm up the engine. Physics and fuel mixture management have been improved. Now the mixture control lever is locked in the "normal" center position. The "forward" position is meant to impoverishes the mixture and the "backward" - to enriches. This became relevant after the adding of altitude corrector failure. Thorough flight manual has been written, containing history, detailed description of the design, systems, procedures. Localization of the manual is underway. Single and training missions have been added, including cockpit familiarization, start-up, taxiing and takeoff, landing, ground attack. From now the cockpit English version Is available. We’ve supplemented new paint schemes, including the livery for the famous «Red Five», the Red Army's aerobatic team in the 1930s. At the moment we are focused on the development of the RSI-3 radio station with new DCS VoIP technology implementation. In general, a lot of work has been done to improve the quality of the product, a number of unexpected difficulties have been overcome. That allowed our small team to gain invaluable experience. At the beginning of the next year, we are planning to release the final version state of the DCS: I-16 project and place the long-awaited announcement. We have great plans ahead. Thank you for your trust and patience. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2022! 24 13
