Mechanical sight on the I-16?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi!

According to the I-16 description ingame there is a mechanical sight that can be activated if the ordinary one becomes damaged. Looking in the plane the sight is there all right. But I cant find the key for activating it (tilt it into place). From the description it sounds like it should be doable, but Ive tried with gunsight position toggle, and gunsight mode toggle, and neither seems to work. Any suggestions?

 

Im also wondering if the main sight actually can be damaged ingame. Havent happened to me yet. Anyone?

it only happens when the primary sight is damaged. I know it can happen but don't fly the I-16 very often so have only personally seen it in other aircraft.

It's automatic? Funny. You'd think they'd just bind it to the gun sight sun visor control as the I-16 doesn't have one.

But the I-16 do have a sun filter.

Does it? Hmmm, I guess my memory fails me then, it's been a while...

Some features are also less developed in aircraft that were released earlier (close to 10 ears ago now for some of them!!)... one reason why I mused that re-releasing 'anniversary edition' upgrade packs with a couple of flyable and AI aircraft, along with some updates to the campaign or existing aircraft might be a good idea at some point in time. I'd certainly be happy to pay for an upgrade and see the prices reset for the upgraded premium editions!
