At first glance you will notice an element that you probably know from IL2 Great Battles — yes, the R-1 stick of the MiG-15 is indeed a direct heir of the German KG-12. Since the Soviet equipment at that time did not use a separate control for the landing gear brakes, it is additionally equipped with a brake lever. By the way, you have already seen the same lever in the cockpit of our La-11, and you will see it in the cockpit of the Yak-9P.
The ASP-3N gyroscopic gun sight is mounted in the center of the field of view on a massive bracket that holds it securely in the working position. The instrument panel, in addition to the set necessary for monitoring engine operating modes, includes such important instruments as the AGK-47B gyroscopic artificial horizon, PRV-46 radio altimeter indicator, barometric altimeter and speed, Mach number and climb rate indicators. We can also see the ARK-5 radio compass indicator.
Below the instrument panel is the central armament control panel. To the left of the main panel we see a platform with an engine control handle, below which is an aileron power control handle. Behind it on the cockpit wall is the radio equipment and the electrical panel. On the same side, closer to the tail, is the KP-14 oxygen supply.
To the right of the main panel is a small panel with controls for the emergency systems, above which is another electrical panel. Further, closer to the tail, there is a control panel for the ARK-5 radio compass, and even further away a slightly smaller control unit for the Barium-M aircraft radar responder. Further, behind the back of the seat, there is the RSI-6 block radio set.
Unusual elements of the pilot’s seat attract attention — on the sides of the seat there are special handles: on the right there are levers for jettisoning the canopy and activating the pilot’s ejection system, and on the left there is only a handle that can be held with one hand. Under the seat there are special footrests where the pilot must place his legs for safe ejection.
