Ah whoops! I did start the Chaika already, yes. :oops:

But this is a beauty! Fantastic job VP. Falling in love with the I-16 all over again now.

Two versions isnt a problem because I keep most images in their original size so my version will be optimal for the slower pc's and I noticed that Bee's version is rather high res, very nice btw.
I started the I-153 today and will finish it tomorrow. I-16 will be updated too.

cool, thank you !!....can you update the reticle for your I-16, just to make it look brighter, like it was done before for many german, british and japanese planes ?

Hello, Istvan. I was sure you'll turn your attention to cockpit repainting sooner or later.
Beautiful work over that I-16! Thank you...

P.S.: the only thing I would suggest is that you make inside walls not so grey... Actually, the blue colour should prevail:

What do you think?

P.S.2: if you'll decide to make any other VVS planes cockpits in the future -- I may give you the detailed instruments I made recently:




P.S.3: I hope you're doing just fine, mate.


Sincere regards,
Mangas.

Some images of the original cockpit scheme, VPMedia's updated version... and a bonus. A few pics of an I-16 taken at Midland, Tx this past September. Can't say if the interior colors of the real one honor the original colors of the aircraft or not.

Sadly the I-16 did not fly, as it had a landing gear problem. I was really hoping to get a video and/or sound recording of it.

No idea why the pilot had a bungee cord wrapped around the stick, other than perhaps to ensure the elevators didn't drag on the ground...

Hi Istvan, great work, as usual :wink:

I have a question, the new reticlie that appears on your repainting cockpit, is a historical reticle for the I-16???

[Boosher]

Hey VPmedia, the new skin is great, but I liked the old gunsight for the I-16 better. Is there a way to change it back?

[ILV_Aquila_Noctis]

dat is nice! Yada yada yada....can't wait for the dopwnload to be done :lol:

If you have intalled the gunsight MOD, only delete de ReticleTGA inside in the folder C:\Archivos de programa\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\MODS\COCKIPT_I16_VP\3do\Cockpit\I-16 :wink:

Gr8t job as always.

it looks nice, but you replaced the old water pressure gauge with new, different fuel gauge, which doesn't work
