K-52 Yanggu airfield

Dear MiGMan,

I came across your sim site and was interested in it because I was one of the engineers that worked on the K-52 Yanggu airfield back in 1952, I have been told that the airfield is still in operation today but under the control of The Republic Army of Korea since it was turned over to the Koreans back in 1954 or 1955, would you know if the field has been altered from the original layout?

I really think that all of the efforts that was made in building the K-052 airfield was wasted for it was never was used much outside of a emergency strip plus a field that could fly out wounded to hospitals in Japan and southern Korea, for there was a MASH unit and a medical clearing company located next to the field.

sincerely,

Floyd King

I'll tell you I miss this good old days kicking ass in IAF, Comanche Gold, USAF, even the old Delta Force Series, too bad they have all died out.

I really thing those games where the best they kick the snot out of the new ones, most aren't even based on reality!

IAF was honestly the flight simulator I enjoyed the most I was the only female pilot on the net in there and I ended up being one of the best :-)

Site brought back old memories!

Great web site - enjoyed going back and thinking about Chuck Yeager's Air combat and others.

I found your awesome site the other day. I was going through the floppy disks from my 386 and came across the game War Eagles by Cosmi. It is from 1989 and is a WWII era simulator.

I've attached three screenshots. The game tries to run under XP, but glitches out after the start screen. It runs fine under DosBOX, though. I can try to answer any questions you have about the game.

The other sim I found is Chopper Command 2.0 by Mark Currie. It's from around 1990, and I've attached a screenshot. My copy was from Mega Mouse Software. I haven't finished going through my 386 stuff, and may find a couple other unlisted sims. Also, I have a PC version of Super Huey II by Cosmi; I didn't notice that one was listed, only the Commodore 64 one.

Great web page, Migman. It was a pleasure reading it - a trip to old memory lane...!!!

Thanks

Thank you for the nostalgia, my very first flight sim experience was ""Wings of Fury"" by Borderbond (or something to that effect). Then came Pacific Strike, and Strike Command by Orgin, and I have never been the same since.

To be quite honest, I have not experienced the pleasure from any other sim than I've gotton from those three sims. Their bringing old movies back, surely someone could bring back the old sims. I would pay to play them again.

Hi there and thanks for a really great site.

I think you will find that that iF-22 was around 97/98 not 91 as stated on your site. (fixed: MiGMan)

ISTR it was a reasonable sim, better than the Novalogic F22 offering though not quite up to the standard of EF2000 or similar. There's still a few copies kicking about on Ebay though the inevitable issue as to whether it runs on a modern C2D/Nvidia/XP system make me hesitate to bid.

Your site is a treasure trove of nostalgia for me, having started flight simming with F16 Combat Pilot on the Amiga in 1992 then moving up later through all the PC greats (especially Tornado and Longbow 2). We really didn't appreciate how good we had it back then and can only lament I didn't store all these beloved old titles and keep an old PC or two on which to run them.

Best wishes,

Vern.

Hello MiGMan,

WOW!!

I accidentally stumbled across your site and I'm now completely overcome by the memories this site stirred up.

I started off with my first PC bought entirely in order to use Falcon AT. Then the first Jetfighter. It didn't take too long and I was importing and selling Elite sims and carrying Thrustmaster in my buddy's store. I still have two sets of Thrustmaster Rudders new in boxes in the basement. I remember all of this. What a trip. I have at least two piles of old software in the basement office. TFX, JF3, Janes F15; F18, Yeager; the OLD F15 Eagle on 3.5” (I think?). Unreal.
