Burning Bridges Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 No problem. There was just a certain "irony" to it.
MAD-MM Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Is the La-7 planed with bomb racks? The purpose of 50kg fire cracker bombs probably limited in DCS. Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 9./JG27

dcn Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) 2023/9/10 PM9点35分，Plexus说： Dear pilots! With this latest development update, we are pleased to announce the successful completion of the intricate flight model tuning process. To mark this achievement, we present our new video showcasing a demonstration flight of the aircraft. From this point forward, we are preparing the module for ED flightworthiness certification. This marks a significant milestone on our journey towards module release! Strange,if OctopusG submitted La-7 to ED for test shortly after September 10th,it should have been released.Referring to MB-339, IndiaFoxtEcho announced that they were submitting MB-339 to ED for final test on September 3rd 2022 and it was released on October 28th 2022.

I think it comes down to financial planning: The big F-4E release is imminent. I don't think ED will release two planes simultaneously - most people will have to choose which one to buy and it'll eat into the profits of ED and the developers. If they release the La-7 (or whichever is next) a month or two later, then there will be no competition for the F-4E and eventually people will most likely end up buying both. So many models were supposed to come out in 2023 - the F-4E, the F-4U Corsair, the A-6 (???), the La-7. Let's hope 2024 will be more bountiful. :) 1

I think you're right, but it's still a massive load of Bullpup. There was a topic about the F-15E release having an impact on the F-4E sales, and me and other folks argued that the planes are too different for that to be the case. Well guess what, La-7 is even more different! The only argument to be made is that people might buy the F-4E first and La-7 a bit later, so I fail to see how releasing La-7 later will be any different from releasing them together from that standpoint. 1
some1 Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't read too much into it. Sure, ED may have the final word and decide not to release two modules in a single patch, but none of the modules you've listed are ready for release. F-4 is not delayed because F-15, it's delayed because development took more time than HB initially estimated and now they tentatively declare "this winter". A-6 module is not even on the roadmap for 2024.

Silver_Dragon Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 Normaly, the ammo load of the La-7 was: 2 100 kg bombs (surely FAB-100M43/FAB-70/FAB-50M/AO-50-100 and others AO series). 6 RS-82 / 4 RS-132 rockets 2 For Work/Gaming: 28" Philips 246E Monitor - Ryzen 7 1800X - 32 GB DDR4 - nVidia RTX1080 - SSD 860 EVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 1 TB / 860 QVO 2 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Warthog / TPR / MDF

Seen Pictures on the Lagg-3 never on La-5 or La-7. Even to find a picture with la-7 and bomb racks task at his one. That only picture in found was with only 50kg Bombs. When it should be 100kg then is my error. Mean basicly the same Wing as Lagg-3 but from historical Context doubt the put that stuff on the air superiority fighter? Because there also Lagg-3 with drop tanks (only test aircraft) but that made never extended use behind the Lagg-3 Only picture i came across with actual bombs on the La-7 Edited November 19, 2023 by MAD-MM Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward.

No one is sitting on the fence debating whether they're gonna get this one or the F-4. That makes no sense at all. The pre-sales of the F-4 has probably dwarfed it already. Not sure how the WWII sales compares to jets in any case. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk 3
Plexus Posted December 18, 2023 Author Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) In this note on the development of the La-7 aircraft module, we'll discuss its secondary function as a fighter primarily, focusing on the use of aviation bombs. Compared to the I-16, which has broader ground attack capabilities, the La-7 is equipped with a minimal bomb control system and only two suspension points. In practice, these are often loaded with small 25-kilogram cast-iron AO-25SL bombs. The aircraft's armament also includes FAB-50 and FAB-100 bombs. Bombs are released simultaneously by pressing the bomb weapon button on the stick. Power system monitoring and bomb release are managed through indicator lights. For emergency and non-explosive releases, the ASI-140 release mechanism with a cable is located on the left side of the cockpit. Please refer to our instructional video for a more detailed demonstration of the bomb application procedure from the La-7 aircraft. Edited December 19, 2023 by Plexus 13 5

MAD-MM Posted December 19, 2023 Posted December 19, 2023 The La-7 is absolut littered with levers all around the Cockpit crazy....seems i have to invest in some new throttle Quadrant in the future..

Doc3908 Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024 It's been a long time since there have been any posts about the La-7. Just curious if it's already been submitted to ED for evaluation... 5
