The Soyuz cupola: what is its function, given that during docking, the crew remains in the descent module?
Soyuz-TM did have flight controls up until Soyuz TM-23; but they were removed as part of the mass reductions when the Soyuz-U2 became no longer available… (someone want to correct me; can’t find any references at the moment)
Soyuz LOK - the moon version had a cupola with controls.

What cupola? Do you have an image of it?
Here you go, its the small window.

"At the forward end of the BO is the docking equipment: Kurs apparatus, connecting hatch and rendezvous antennas. A crew member is stationed at the small blister window to aid the commander during docking."

This is a grade A diagram, and everyone should know those Russian acronyms in time for the next docking, rather than use terms like "main Kurs antenna".

During docking/undocking, is the Soyuz commander stationed at controls in the Orbital Module or in the Descent Module? Are there any detailed images or diagrams of the Soyuz control panels and internal equipment? All In know is that they wear pressure suits during docking and undocking, and in the descent module they push buttons with a stick.

1) Descent module.
2) Yes.

So I have just played the campaign of a certain game, and a mission involves shooting down a Soyuz LV. The problem is that the mission is supposed to take place in 1963, while I was under the impression that Soyuz first flew in 1966. Would it really be the Soyuz LV, or would it have more than likely be the Voskhod LV?

They were one in the same.

True, but they had different designators: 11A57 for Voskhod and 11A511 for Soyuz.

So did Gemini Titan II and Titan II SLV

There were small differences between the Soyuz and Voskhod launchers, mostly involving the engines. The Soyuz 3rd stage used an RD-110 engine, same as the current Soyuz-U/FG launchers, whereas Voskhod used the older RD-107 engine. Voskhod could not have launched a Soyuz spacecraft.

I think you'll find that the RD-107 was the engine used for the strap on boosters for both Voskhod and Soyuz (and other R-7 variants as well.)

But ...there were minor upgrades to the RD-107 and RD-108 to accommodate the higher Soyuz spacecraft mass.
The differences between Voskhod and Soyuz were like the differences between Soyuz-U and Soyuz-FG, as there were different payload capabilities.

The engine on the upper stage was the RD-0108, a Kosberg design bureau engine. The RD-107 was (and is) used on the four boosters which constitute the first stage of Soyuz. The RD-108 is used on the core stage of Soyuz (second stage in Russian terminology). The RD-107 and RD-108 are from Glushko's design bureau.

I wasn't debating the configuration, the characters in the game actually called the LV Soyuz, yet the mission was set in 1963, guess they just called it the wrong name?
In November 1963, Mason, Woods, Bowman and Weaver are dispatched to Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh SSR to disrupt the Soviet space program and eliminate members of the Soviet Ascension program. At the start of the operation, Weaver is captured and Mason sees Kravchenko torture him, stabbing his left eye, but Mason and his team later rescue him, while still destroying the Soyuz spacecraft as well.

Opps, the Voshkod 3rd stage engine was RD-0107, and the Soyuz 3rd stage was and is RD-0110.
