I started looking for a flight sim for the Korean War and only found a few hits. I saw where there are add-ons to MS Combat Flight sim and another one or two older sims.
Are there any good flight sims for the Korean War?
I'm easy to please with flight simes. The only two I've ever played are IL-2 (FB, PF, and original) and LOMAC/FC2. I think these are the best. But like I said, I'm easy to please. The physics seem good to me in both these games. I've read post were people say Sim-X is better than Sim-Y because of minor differences in flight performance.
I really think a flight sim for the K.W. would be so fun and challenging since the majority of kills were with guns.
FOMAC/FC2 is a blast but the missiles are so deadly. I sometimes just forget about the missiles and work for gun kills. I'd really like to fly an F-86 Sabre against those first MIGs. A great time it would be.
Any imput would be greatly appreciated.

I suppose my wish was that there was an amazing Korean War sim out there I had never heard of. Maddox Games was supposed to be doing a Korean War sim after Cliffs of Dover, but it seems to be on hold indefinitely. There's a couple of screens out there of F-51, F-86, MiG, but that's it. If you can live with aged graphics, MiG Alley is a cracking sim. I could never get it to run smoothly on my old PC, and then when I upgraded, some of the stability issues drove me nuts, and then BS and RoF swallowed my time, but I still think it's the best sim I never enjoyed

Isn't there a Korea mod for the Strike Fighters series? Or at least you can use Strike Fighters to have some quick action using existing third party aircraft, even if only over a different terrain. Come to think of it, shouldn't there also be a Falklands mod?
Though I haven't played it for a while, I still regard Mig Alley as my all-time favourite simulation. An excellent campaign, great radio comms, good AI. Best fun I ever had in a combat sim, while at the same time also the most frustrating experience due to its instability and all sorts of ugly bugs. But when it worked, it was magic.
Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?

The Korea mod is for SFP1. The new one for SF2 is still in work. There is a complete Falklands mod for SF2.+1 on Mig Alley.

Histomod looks interesting. Glad I'm still with 4.09. Any more details on this mod? Like..are all planes flyable? Does it come with a campaign? Other than 4.09 patch, does it need anything else to install and play? Any known bugs? It'll be very helpful if anyone can fill me these details. Or, better yet, point me to a full review of it. The only thing turned up when I google it was its official forum. And that was in French.. Thanks.

Any more details on this mod? It remaps many of the keys and actions to start and fly A/C so you will have to relearn some functions. More in depth within the limits of the game engine, I suppose. It also has their take on FMs, etc. so if online compatibility is important to you, know this ahead of time. It's made to play their own online wars.
Like..are all planes flyable? All planes in what way? Are there more than stock? Yes. Are there jets? Yes. Everything else is still in there.
Does it come with a campaign? There are a few campaigns available at M4T.
Other than 4.09 patch, does it need anything else to install and play? Not sure anymore since I don't have a Histo install anymore. There was some talk of requiring UP, but I don't know if that's the case now or not.
Any known bugs? Whatever bugs turn up, they used to release fixes and updates about once a month.
The only thing turned up when I google it was its official forum. And that was in French. There's an English link a the top of the forum to tell you how to register. Register and download the newest readme. It will explain what it is and what they do. If you are interested, the D/L links are at the bottom of the document. They can and do converse with you in English there as well as the AAS site.
Hope that helps.

Uh, sorry for being dense.. but where in this page ( http://histomodforum.forumactif.org/) is that readme file with download links located? I tried to translate the whole page with Google but my browser went CTD everytime I do that.. I have registered and login in that website. I clicked that banner on top that says "Download and Try It" but it gets me nowhere. Am I coming to the right website at all? Thanks.

Mig Alley is my all time favorite dog fight sim. Awesome campaign as well. Wish I knew how to get a version to run on my 64 bit windows 7. Anyone know how?

HSFX is the best of the mods and has full support all the way to 4.12 it has the F-51, F86, MiG 15/17 and Korea. UP is Dead and you can't run it past 4.09 which means it can't utilize any of the new features that Team Daidalos has been putting into IL-2, I can't speak to Histomod but IIRC it has a long loading time which might indicated the Mods aren't running in the SFS file structure which was a problem in the earlier mods. HSFX is integrated into the game and runs very smoothly with fast loads.
