Are the I-16's cowl flaps modelled?

Hello all,

 

Like the title says, are they modeled? I have the La-5's cowl flaps mapped, is there a different key required for the I-16? Btw, I like the little bumble bee and it's buzzsaw mg's :cool: .

 

Good hunting,

Yes the I-16 has them, but they're on the front of the engine

I'm not sure if I understand you correct. Do you mean does the I-16 have seperate controls for inlet and outlet of airflow like on the La-5? In that case, I'm pretty sure the answer is no. The air that's let in through the cowl shutters on the front of the engine is just let flow freely backward I think.

Hello all,

 

Thanks for the answers. I see the cowl flaps on the front of the engine but they don't appear to move when I use the keys mapped for them (the ones on the La-5 work as advertised).

key mapping - controls  - engine controls - engine inlet cowl shutters control (I/16,La-5).They work for me well.

Thanks Brano, I hadn't realized the key mapping had changed.

Your welcome.The key mapping has been changed with addition of La5 months ago = inlet shutters open/close.Now we have another radial engine plane,ishak,which uses the same keys.Only that it does not have outlet shutters ;)
