Not mentioned even as a possible equipment in 1945 (unlike RPK), let alone 1944. 

Ok then Off with the suction venturi and give me back 1 Kmh IAS  🙂

You know the Venturi tube is also used for bank indicator, right?

A quote from La-7's technical manual:

Указатель поворота

Прибор служит для определения вращения самолета вокруг вертикальной оси. Прибор устроен на принципе гироскопа. Отклонение стрелки вправо указывает на правый разворот, влево — на левый. Для создания необходимого вакуума для нормальной работы прибора на самолете установлена малая трубка Вентури. Под действием вакуума засасываемая струя воздуха вращает ротор гироскопа прибора со скоростью 6000-8000 об/мин.

Для регулирования вакуума в приборе на расстоянии 200-250 мм за ним за ним установлен редукционный клапан, поддерживающий вакуум, равный 50 мм рт. ст. Трубка Вентури установлена под капотом мотора самолета на профиле крепления щитков шасси.

Проводка от трубки Вентури до прибора осуществлена при помощи алюминиевой трубки сечением 6Х8мм с переходниками из дюрритового шланга в местах разъема.

Проводка должна быть герметична.

No I didnt know that thanks for the info.
 

Out for interests sake how is the turn needle on the LA5 series powered ?  No venturis on the 3D model or on any period photos I have looked at.

Is anyone else having the issue of getting a "firing on friendly" penalty when attacking ground forces e.g. cannons, AA emplacements, airfield fuel tanks etc? I have three times received this notice on the Leningrad (Defense) map in career mode. Despite this the after-action report map shows the 'friendly' I fired on was enemy leFH 18 artillery. 

 

Otherwise I am thoroughly enjoying the new map

The Venturi tube in La-5 is placed to the left of the propeller, right in the nose.

You can see it in Il-2 using a free camera and coming really close to the nose, it's properly modelled.

@LLv44_Kanttori and @zeus--: Thank you very much for the great map!

This week SYN_Vander has published the first implementation of the Karelia map in his great EMG v94:

And additionally for EMG v94 I have released the settings (draft, but already working) for a full semi historic 1943 static front from Vyborg to Leningrad for quick and simple semi historic mission generation:

Would it be possible for the developers to add some "generic" Finnish skins for the Bf 109s that saw service?  Currently there are three named Finnish skins, one each for the G2, G6 and G6 Late, and one Luftwaffe skin for a G2 that served in Finland.  Something along the lines of the generic Finnish skins we currently have for the Hurricane and I-153, would be great.  It is kind of silly to have an entire flight of G2s all piloted by Riihallio.
