I-153 Airfile

Checking up the plane, I noticed it was a I-16 in disguise. So, I create a specific airfile for it and revised, a little, the panel and the DP (now it has four 7.62mm machine guns instead of two 12.7mm). It's a terrific agile plane.

I'm just preparing the package...

Thanks Pep! I really like the newest I-153 we have, but I was suspect of it too, though I've been too busy and under the weather to poke at it much...
 
Good idea Pepe, because I found it tended to stall and spin (then crash...) a bit too much, although I'm not so sure of this, maybe I wasn't flying it the right way :)
On the other hand, it really seems to be too fast: while Wikipedia gives a maximum speed of 426 km/h for the Polikarpov I-153, I've been sustaining more than 500 km/h in level flight (something like 520 km/h - as fast as the biplane record speed reached by the Fiat CR.42DB with a DB 601 engine, in 1941).

(And I guess it is not possible to get the 2 gunsights right in line?)
 
If you are talking about my I-153 version of Scrub's package, I appreciate this Peperez. Flight dynamics is not my field. :applause:
