jackd Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Just curious: about the I-16 now early 2024. I tried it about a year ago extensively. I did not like it as far as all the manual handling needed like getting the wheels up with repeated pressings etc. The i-16 is OK in IL2 great battles, but i really could not come to grips with it in DCS. Is it still the same in DCS or are there improvements, f.i. more automated functions now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala13_ManOWar Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 If there were any more automated functions anywhere it wouldn't be the very first modern low wing monoplane with retractable gear and closed cockpit (Type 5) fighter in History .

scoobie Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I think it's the same in 2024. As for "repeated pressings"... if you can spare a 3-way latching toggle switch, for example on the throttle's base or wherever, then you can bind the crank to the switch and it will turn the crank on its own, no repeated pressings neccessary. I have these funny gear controls bound as in the picture lower down (2x 2-way toggles, 2x 3-way toggles), but you can have it arranged simpler: a button for "gear up/down ready" and the aforementioned 3-way latching switch, so you don't have to keep pressing hold the "crank button" until your finger goes pale.
