IGM I-17M (1975)

5,311 unCANNY  2.8 years ago

FICTIONAL LORE:
In 1975 the Georgy Mosolov Institute of Aviation decided to retrofit their 1968 I-17 fighter with the new R-60 IR missile, brought into service by Vympel only a year earlier. The I-17M is a short-range, variable geometry fighter designed for quick deployment in defense of airfields and other strategic points from aerial threats.

ACTION GROUPS:
AG.1 - Toggle flaps (disabled after wings sweep)
AG.2 - Toggle air brakes
AG.5 - Drogue chute
AG.7 - EJECT!
AG.8 - Open/Close the canopy

CONTROLS:
Standard flight controls
Trim - Elevator trim
VTOL - Aileron trim

PAYLOAD:
Vympel R-60 x4

GUNS:
23mm GSh-23 (disabled if landing gear is deployed)

NOTE:
This aircraft does feature G force and speed limitations. Pulling too hard maneuvers at low altitude as well as over-speeding (~2400-2500kph) will cause your wings and elevators to rip off. Be careful!

PLEASE LOOK AT THE IMAGES BELOW FOR COCKPIT INSTRUCTIONS
You might have to zoom in as the letters are small


Please note that all of the buttons with tooltips in cyrillic are simply aesthetic and serve no function.

Also I totally stole the code for the radar from somebody's F-14 but now I can't remember which one it was... sorry :3

    @unCANNY just go to the discord and join some server. There should be some server that provides a channel to advertise
    I recommend SPBC and the speedbird hanger
