Polikarpov I-16 cockpits Pack Ultimate - Mangas - 22.07.2011
Foreword:
Hello to all.
With all the respect to BenderAS & vp_media (who did this a while ago), I suggest my own version of these...
Actually, I made it to boost AAS morale a little -- I still miss those days back in 2007 when Il-2 moddin' just came to be, and everybody was so fascinated & everything seemed so possible then... :wink:
O.K... A lot is said about this plane... Some virtual pilots love it, some hate it, but, no matter what they say,
this is a legendary plane. Period.
For me, personally, it will always be a symbol of defence of my home city - Leningrad.
O.K... Now to the point...

Installation procedure:
1. Go here and install this pack (obligatory):
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,26.0.html
2. Extract the downloaded archive to the
Mods folder (if you use 4.09m)
or #SAS folder (if you use 4.101)...
3. Be sure it loads above all the rest mods you have in your modpacks folder:
4. Enjoy.
** If you get CTD or empty cockpit in game or any error loading mission --> GOTO №1 above & install the pack
mentioned!
Credits:
Special thanks to SkyFan, skvorez & Piper-kiev for makin' my favourite Soviet VVS offline campaigns that inspired me to make those...
I also thank mal16 & Alexander Akanihin for answering my numerous questions patiently...
**I strongly recommend to use this excellent sound mod by Tiger (perhaps the best so far - IMHO), for true immersion:
http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,3258.0.html
Afterword:
1.
This comes with heavy weathered/scratched perspex canopy glass (I remember somebody whining to have it)... So get it...
If you don't like this scratched/dull look -- just remove the Glass.tga file from the I-16 folder... You'll get the default back...
2. Unfortunately, the original 3D model is about 11 years old, so I had to simulate 70% of the things...
I can't do better... Sorry...
This work I dedicate to Soviet VVS pilots who flew these machines, fought bravely & died fearlessly dring the first -- most disasterous -- months of Barbarossa offencive exactly 70 years ago...
Sincere regards,
Mangas.

Thanks, Mangas! We appreciate
you, too.
The cockpit looks amazing!
The I-16 is so fun to fly and fight in it! I like the challenge against the Bf-109s. It sure will let you know where you are in pilot skill.
