I-16 footage from recent airshow
« on: April 17, 2015, 02:52:50 PM »


A couple of the turns the pilot does near the end show how nimble that little plane was, really good footage IMO, at 1:56 the pilot does a left hand turn that ends up being a 180 which happens in only a handful of seconds.

That sucker sounds really awesome during that flyby at about 40 seconds in.  :aok

A revolutionary design in it's day. No doubt the best fighter of the mid-30s.

Very cool,thanks for showing this.


One of my biggest gripes about Ah these days is the sound, the default sounds to be sure. They just lack all feeling and uniqueness each engine has. Kinda sad really, i hope that's something that changes in AhIII.

I hope that Hitech removes the flaperons. It has both flaperons and split flaps. No Type# ever had that. The flaperons were replaced with split flaps by the end of the Spanish civil war due to pilot fatalities landing. It would have killed anyone using them. The Type24\28 we have only had split flaps and they are too short at that. They should extend out to the ailerons.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

If you want a great and distinctive sound, check out this Boomerang:



Sounds positively wicked, from about the 0:35 second mark. :x

The bbcode probably hides the embedded link if you don't have flash installed. Here I'll ripsnort it for you:
