The La-7 is a World War II, Soviet, single-engine piston fighter that was developed by the Semyon Lavochkin design bureau. It was an evolution of the La-5 series of Soviet fighters that improved the design in significant ways. Entering service in 1944, the La-7 became one of the most effective and refined Soviet fighters of Eastern Front. Featuring improved aerodynamics, reduced weight, and enhanced engine cooling, the La-7 had significantly increased speed and climb performance. Armed with powerful 20 mm cannons, it proved highly capable against contemporary German fighters like the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190. The La-7 received multiple improvements and modifications throughout its service life that further enhanced its combat effectiveness. It became one of the most respected Soviet fighters of the final stage of the war and saw service into the early 1950s. It stood out from many of its contemporaries due to its compact dimensions, refined aerodynamics, and exceptional low- and medium-altitude performance. Its lightweight wooden construction, combined with a powerful radial engine, gave the La-7 outstanding speed, climb rate, and maneuverability that made it an outstanding dogfighter. It could turn with the best of them. This module's flight model provides a highly accurate simulation of the aircraft's real flight characteristics, including engine management, energy retention, and the tail-dragger handling challenges.

A lot of the weapon systems are pie in the sky and combat is the only place where they get properly tested. Imagine how revered the AIM-4D would be if it never saw combat. Revered today on the www as the missile the USAF should have used to solve all its problems no doubt

I dont know much about the A-X program and the only thing I have seen with detail on the www that covers the inital A-X program start is this. A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) SYSTEMS ENGINEERING CASE STUDY David R. Jacques, PhD, LtCol USAF (Ret) Dennis D. Strouble, PhD Usually the best stuff is not on the www however.

Very difficult to say for sure.....sources that use information from people on the A-X program from USAF and Fairchild should be best....but even then you get people on the program who disagree! What would you say are your best sources?

Good question and would have been one of two things: 1. The US or NATO didn't want West Germany to have that capability at the time (This has often been the stock answer given over the years) Or 2. From what I have seen West Germany had no requirement for AIM-7 capability on F-4F..........whether that was for saving cost, or due to #1 above not sure. Someone may have more on the F-4F program politics howeever.

It currently loads for me. https://simhq.net/forum/

Are you saying WOV is installed but not running? Or is it the Reshade files that are missing?

One 18 second video? - May want to wait a while till this is verified.

Did you reinstall all the drivers for the mainboard including the chipset?

The CH stuff should still work without CH Control manager and those ancient drivers if you didn't depend of any fancy scripts. Still use the throttle and pedals in Win 11 with the default Win drivers for everything.

So it is just NA having the issue? If you create a seperate copy of the NA exe and create a new install without mods does it work fine?

Only ever used TrackIR 4 then 5 with SF on Win 7 / 10 and 11.

Good luck - sounds like there is maybe some light at the end of the tunnel!

A skin has this so maybe you were changing this before: [TextureSet001] Directory=RAFSilver1 Name=RAF Silver 1 Nation=RAF Squadron=74RAF StartDefaultDate=1 Specular=1.000000 Glossiness=0.500000 Reflection=0.800000

You may have to be more specific - the GFX have not changed since 2013 so it is more likley to be mod related or a setting. I am using NVIDIA cards which generally have been miles better for backwards compatibility. Test shot from NATO fighters default object.
