Disclaimer - I have not downloaded 3.02b, I only download official fully worked patches. I think the work that goes into this sim is fantastic and I am willing to wait however long is necessary to get things right. The fun does not end because of padantic requests like the one that follows:
Oleg,
In the 3.01m patch, the I-16 does not really handle like an I-16 anymore. Not that I have flown the real one, but if you've had this beautiful plane performing a particular way for so long, why the change?
Specifically, it now seems to snap spin in low speed hard break maneuvers with the nose low, much more often than it used to.
When it goes into a spin, it recovers way too easily, almost like it's a heavier plane which pushes its nose down. I found that the flat spin that is the I-16's trademark is much more rare.
It seems to have trouble holding a sustained low speed turn with the nose on the horizon. This is something which was easy to achieve before and a trademark of it's low speed maneuverability.
If I had to be critical, I would say it almost handles like an early spitfire.
It may be the case that the performance of the Ishka is now more in tune with RL, however if that's the case then why has it been so different for so long?
For your consideration.
