Plexus Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Dear pilots! We are happy to announce the DCS: La-7 project! The Lavochkin La-7 is the legendary fighter of the end of the Second World War, the crown of creation of Soviet aircraft designers, a multiple winner in many air duels, the workhorse of the most famous ace of the Red Army Air Force, Ivan Nikitovich Kozhedub. The La-7 aircraft is equipped with a powerful ASh-82FN piston engine - the pinnacle of air-cooled engines, and armed with formidable 20-mm ShVAK cannons. High performance allows this fighter to confidently compete with the best Germany and Western combat fighters. During developing this module, our team naturally relies on the experience of developing the DCS: I-16. La-7’s Flight Model is a further development of the highly acclaimed I-16’s Flight Model and is being created using the same technologies. The module is at high degree of readiness, and the planned date for entering Early Access is early 2023.

The radio is not finished yet as we are still awaiting technical support from ED. However, it may be said that this temporary drawback is consistent with historical realities, since only a small number of I-16s were supplied with radio stations. Anyway, we hope to be able to add the radio in the next updates. Looking forwards to flying your La-7, however, please don't forget to finish the I-16 radio, as its the only item still missung from the I-16 On 6/22/2022 at 7:02 AM, Plexus said: In the future, we plan to expand the content of the module. Wonder what it means .. any chance to add a couple of AI opponents? I'd love to have an early He-111, Ju-87 and Bf-109E 1 hour ago, Plexus said: Dear pilots!

Mike Force Team Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 @Rudel_chw I would like to see a developer create a bonafide, legitimate bomber. So far, nobody has made one that is fully controllable module. Mike Force Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plexus Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Happy New Year 2023! The outgoing year released "Ishak" into the DCS virtual sky, the coming one will give way to "Lavka".

Plexus Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 In the upcoming update of DCS Open Beta, there is a visual improvement to the I-16 cockpit: the appearance and size of the control stick and pedals have been adjusted. Additionally, the option to 'hide' the control stick has been added to improve access to the instrument panel. 11 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepin1234 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Hi Plexus . Thanks for your job to bring the best of the Soviet Air Force in WWII. I hope you add some Yakolev serie to DCS in the near futures. The Yaks were one of the best dogfighter in the Soviet Air Force. Meantime your job with the Lavochkin look impressive 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSIAD_RIP Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 @Plexusany improvements to the I-16 just make what is one of the most artistic, beautiful and original cockpits in DCS even more so. Keep doing what you are doing.

More cold war jets and honestly that’s in my opinion the way the sim should go, no modern era (you can’t make it real cause you don’t know aspect of modern warfare as I’d the electronic warfare and such) and no WW2 there are other sims for that, bet it’s already happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My preference lies very strongly in Cold War, especially late Cold War for DCS too, but hopefully not at the expense of best warbirds anywhere in the sim world. But then, that Su-17 OctopusG teased some time ago is the only thing I am excited for as much as F-4E.
