!put the view from 1 camera! Use the G7 to take off and / or land. press G2 and G3 to drop missiles from the wings. Press G1 to turn on the exhaust. ejection system - G5 and G6 (G6 parachute). There is a system for increasing engine speed (VTOL). TRIM - slightly increases the force of pitch. I tried to make the most realistic behavior in flight.
SOME WIKIPEDIA:
The I-16 (TsKB-12) “Fighter Sixteenth” (popularly “Ishak”, “Ishachok”) is a Soviet single-engine monoplane fighter of the 1930s, created in the Experimental Design Bureau of the Russian Soviet aircraft designer Nikolai Polikarpov. One of the first in the world of serial monoplane fighters with retractable landing gear. The aircraft had a predominantly wooden structure and plywood trim.

Produced in the USSR and was the main fighter of the Red Army Air Force until the beginning of 1942.
 The first flight on the prototype was performed on December 30, 1933, by test pilot of the State Aviation Plant No. 39 (GAZ No. 39) Valery Chkalov.

At the State Testing in February 1934, two prototypes were flown into the air by test-test pilots Vladimir Kokkinaki and Vasily Stepanchonok. The pilots did not give flattering feedback about the aircraft, and after reading the test pilot test report Yumashev and Chernavsky [Al] Alksnis, by special order, allowed the I-16 to fly the aircraft only to the most experienced pilots.

Designers intentionally made the aircraft aerodynamically unstable, based on the then popular hypothesis that the unstable aerodynamics of the airframe will positively affect the maneuverability of the fighter in combat.

On March 1 and 2, the I-16 aircraft piloted by Valery Chkalov was tested on a tailspin.

After operational tests in the Crimea, based on the airfield in Kutch, the newest fighter was demonstrated to the general public at the Pervomaisky parade in Moscow in flight over Red Square.

In 1935 he was shown at the International Aviation Exhibition in Italy in Milan.
