Operation features:

  • The engine is equipped with the two-stage mechanical supercharger which should be manually switched at 2900m (9500ft) altitude.
  • The engine mixture control is automatic when the mixture lever is set to NORMAL (1/2) position. It should be set to START (forward, throttle lever movement will be limited by 1/10) position when starting the engine and to CUT-OUT position (back) to stop it.
  • The engine has an automatic RPM governor that controls the propeller pitch to maintain the required RPM.
  • Water and oil temperatures are controlled manually by adjusting the radiator shutters.
  • The aircraft has a fuel gauge which shows remaining fuel in fuel tanks depending on switch position. In game the fuel indicator switch changes by pressing (RShift+I).
  • The aircraft has pitch and yaw flight-control trimmers.
  • Landing flaps have hydraulic actuators and can be extended to any angle up to 80°. The speed with the extended flaps is limited to 160 mph.
  • The airplane tailwheel rotates freely and does not have a lock.
  • The pneumatic brakes are differential: moving the pedals with brakes pressed results in releasing the brake opposite to the pressed pedal.
  • The landing gear indicator lamp lights up if the throttle is set to low (less than 1/3) position with the landing gear retracted.
  • It is impossible to open the canopy at high speeds because of the ram air, but there is an emergency jettison handle for bailing out.
  • The aircraft is equipped with bottom formation lights.
  • The range-finding gunsight reticle can be adjusted for a given target base and range.To make it easier to aim missiles it is possible to shift the target line up to 5 degrees downward (key combinations Right Shift + Semicolon / Right Shift + Period by default).

Basic data and recommended positions of the aircraft controls:

  1. Starting the engine:

    • recommended position of the mixture control lever: Start
    • recommended position of the radiator control handle: close
    • recommended position of the prop pitch control handle: 100%
    • recommended position of the throttle lever: 10%

  2. Recommended mixture control lever positions for various flight modes: Normal (auto mixture control)

  3. Recommended positions of the radiator control handle for various flight modes:

    • takeoff: open
    • climb: open
    • cruise flight: close
    • combat: open

  4. Approximate fuel consumption at 2000 m altitude:

    • Cruise engine mode: 7.7 l/min
    • Combat engine mode: 12.3 l/min
