They ran in Win 10 and now Win 11.
These may no longer be relvent but I still do the following:
I still install them outside of the more protected areas like Program files and x86.
Tick Run in compatibility mode for Windows 7
Tick Disable Full screen optimisations
Tick Run this program as administrator
Am thinking Win / Xbox Game mode may need ot be turned off.
I see this has just been posted anyway.

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.
Key Features:
- Detailed, accurate, and fully animated 3D aircraft model.
- Highly detailed and fully interactive cockpit with 6DoF support that shines in virtual reality.
- Detailed damage modelling, historic and accurate liveries, and provision for both air-to-air and air-to-ground attack weapons.
- Realistic simulation of aircraft systems that include engine, fuel, electrical, pneumatic, and armament systems.
- Authentic modeling of radial engine operation and cooling management.
- Instant action and interactive training missions.
- La-7 pilot guide.
- Free disk space is required: 1.86 Gb

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

Hello friend. I confess that I've read many references about the A-10 Thunderbolt, including Bill Sweetman, Ken Neubeck and Peter C. Smith. You've read their book. But I like to read articles on the internet that explain about the aircraft.
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.

Hello. Would you like to know what is true? When researching the A-10 Thunderbolto II, some sources say that it was built around the cannon. Others say no. So which came first, the cannon or the aircraft? Thanks and very wishes.
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?

If I may ask, why didn't they use BVR ? I'm assuming it's something to do like the US in Vietnam with inadequate IFF.
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.

My old windows xp pc just died. I'm trying to get Wings Over VIetnam installed on a Windows 10 PC. I see where people have done it, but I'm not finding the files needed to accomplish it. I have the WOV install disk and have already installed it on my Win10 machine. So I'm looking for help. Thanks
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.

A skin has this so maybe you were changing this before:

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.

Had the phone games since they came out. Nothing like SF2.
If you could combine SF2 with SEGA Afterburner that may give an idea. worth trying it out though.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
On behalf of the entire BMS development team, I am happy to announce that the latest iteration of the Microprose Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Falcon BMS 4.38 - is available for you to enjoy RIGHT NOW!
DISCLAIMER: This is a complete new install… Do not try to update on top of previous Falcon BMS versions or Falcon 4.0
WARNING: OpenXR toolkit needs to be removed / disabled (non compatible with BMS and discontinued!!!)
BMS 4.38 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message.
For those of you who are new to Falcon and still need a legacy Falcon 4.0 license, you’re lucky, as there are various season sales going on.
This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Microprose and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you.
After the update, when starting BMS, the version string in the BMS UI will now read:
FALCON BMS 4.38.0 (X64) BUILD 2960Be advised that experimental arm64 exe are available!
Changelog: https://www.falcon-bms.com/changelogs/falcon-bms-4-38-0/
A big THANK YOU to everyone in the BMS development team, our dedicated beta testers and to the gents from Microprose who made this release possible!
Now download and enjoy!

Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,
The pre–purchase for the extraordinary DCS: MiG-29A Fulcrum is now live with 30% off. A study-level, 4th generation Russian fighter has long been sought after by DCS pilots, and our MiG-29A is being developed to the highest degree of authenticity with external and cockpit models, systems, flight model, weapons, and sensors replicated to what we believe will set a high standard for DCS.
The MiG-29A excels as an interceptor and particularly as a within-visual-range fighter. The aircraft benefits from exceptional flight performance, and the combination of the “Archer” R-73 high off-boresight air-to-air missile with its helmet-mounted sight (HMS) makes it hard to beat in a knife fight.
We are delighted to bring this amazing aircraft to DCS. Please check out the Pre-Order Trailer. Enjoy!
Thank you for your passion and support.
Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics
MiG-29A Fulcrum
Pre-purchase
The MiG-29A remains one of the most famous fighters in the world due to its outstanding performance characteristics, reliability, and simplicity of the weapons systems. It is capable of performing high-alpha manoeuvres that make it deadly in close air combat. In addition to the R-73 and HMS, the MiG-29A is also armed with medium-range radar-guided missiles, a 30mm cannon, and unguided bombs and rockets.
The Mikoyan MiG-29A has been operated by 39 air forces since its introduction in the 1980s, and approximately more than 100 are still in service.
Key Features:
Early Access features
- Fully interactive and highly detailed cockpit based on 3D laser scanning and photogrammetry.
- Highly detailed and accurately reproduced external model.
- Highly detailed pilot model with HMS.
- In-depth modelling of aircraft systems and equipment.
- Navigation System modes: POINT-TO-POINT mode for flying along a given route and flying to a programmed point; RETURN mode for performing a return to one of the three programmed airfields; LANDING mode for landing at both programmed and non-programmed airfields; and TRAFFIC RE-ENTRY mode for performing a re-approach to a programmed airfield in case of go around.
- Detailed model of the Gyro Systems with Fast and Long Alignment modes and onboard navigation equipment.
- The ability to program three airfields, three RSBN radio navigation beacons, and three navigation points during the mission creation phase and while flying the mission.
- Realistic modelling of the SPO-15LM “Beryoza” radar warning receiver and flare dispenser system.
- Fire Control Radar (FCR) with search and tracking modes for air targets that includes HEAD ON, PURSUIT, AUTOMAT, TWF and CLOSE COMBAT modes.
- Infrared Search and Track (IRST) and Laser Range Finder (LRF) with modes for air targets: INFRARED (IR), CLOSE COMBAT, HELMET, OPTICAL (OPT) and Boresight. LRF can be used to measure target range with automatic IRST tracking. LRF can also be used to measure slant range for ground attacks.
- Ground attack modes that include Pre-Designate OPT for use with moving targets and in windy conditions; Non-Pre designate OPT for use with stationary targets and in calm conditions; and TOSS when bombing is conducted with a 110-130 degree pitch angle.
- In order to expand the combat capabilities for a covert attack on an aerial target and counter electronic countermeasures, the interaction of the FCR and IRSTS/LRF has been modelled.
- The Kinematic Range Determination Method (KRDM) has been modelled for FCR and IRSTS/LRF. In the absence of target range data, this method provides precise range measurement.
- Basic Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) modelling.
- Early Access Guide.
- Interactive Training missions.
- Full Russian cockpit and localisation of avionics, cockpit and technical inscriptions in English.
At Final Release:
- Ground Control Intercept (GCI) command system.

Hello
Not sure what could be done about that. I assume changing the original 3D pit model would be required to remove the stick. So basically a 3D moddeller with the original files - but might be a bit late now.
