Nicely done. Worth a mention that somewhere down the line is an official "IL2" Korean war sim, some renders of a Skyraider and MiG-15 floating around on one of Olegs official boards.

Oh wow! I loved MiG Alley, but the graphics now are so dated. It would be truly fantastic to have an updated graphic and gameplay engine, even if based on the iL2 engine. Thanks for the find.

so...what exactly IS that??
I own Il2 '46 - is this video an example of that core sim with some kind of Korea Mod?
If so - where and what exactly do I need to install to have the F-86 and the Mig 15 and those airbases ?
there used to be a modders site for Il2 called AAA or some such..but I cant seem to find it

Awesome, also very well edited video.
@heywood: you meant the old "all aircraft arcade" forum, it has been moved to
http://allaircraftsimulations.com/forum/
Great mods for Il2 there!
Cheers,
Mark

Guys, if you have Il-2 1946 you can get all of this content in free mods from the community (Korean maps and 50's props and jets). Check out the SAS site here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php
Your best bet at this time is to wait for the upcoming Ultrapack 3.0 (reportedly next week) from here: http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php It will contain the latest jet pack with all versions of the Sabre and Mig 15, including loadouts with guided IR missiles.
If you have rigs that run FSX well then you would be able to run modded il-2 in top graphics quality as shown on this video, although some post processing might have been done on that one. Jafa, who signs this video, is one of the sound effect gurus in the il-2 modding community.

Real guided missiles or "Oh lord, I missed that B-17 by miles! Stupid manual guidance!" guided missiles?

No, not those wire guided nazi secret weapons missiles. Sidewinders and K-13s with the homing tone also. Check out this video, where you can also see the Sabre cockpit:
Now before you start noticing errors and bugs, this video is from last year and the modders have put a lot of work in this pack since then. Still there might be things that can not be done, like the effect of the sun to IR seekers but still it is quite amazing if you think that this is the work of just enthusiasts working for fun.

Dimus - I found the website and tried to install Il2'46 but I have win7 64 so I was having a problem installing it - I got it installed and loaded the sim for the first time, but after that - I could not get it to run again...tried the securom update but to no avail...I click on the Il2 icon, go into the folder and try the .exe from there - nothing...it starts to load for a second and then just stops...nothing in task mgr...its just a no go.
what am I missing?

Try running the file il2setup.exe from within the game's folder and setup at least your monitor's resolution correctly and chose OpenGL as "Provider". Other things can be setup from here as well. Hit OK and try running il2fb.exe again.
Let me know if that works. If not we'll have to check other stuff.

ok - got it installed by registering it with ubi..? never had before and I got this copy from gogamer about 6 years ago now...
anyway - got it installed and tried to patch it up to 4.101m but the splash screen says 4.07m..?
I'm about ready to drop it and wait for a dedicated Korean War sim.

This all sounds strange. The game installs as 4.07. The patches are sequential so you have to apply them all, i.e. 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and then 4.101.
Also, now that I remember, when installing on Vista, the setup.exe did not work but a file called a.exe in the DVD was the one that actually worked right. Perhaps for Win7 it is similar.
I would suggest you try asking also in the il-2 forum here as well as the SAS site where all the il-2 gurus are.
Finally, as far as I know, Il-2 does not make any registry entries so it is quite portable. This is why most of us have multiple installs in our drives by just copying the whole folder. In this way we may have for example a game modded for Korea era and another for WWII. It is best if you keep the il-2 folder outside the Program Files folders to avoid Windows security issues.
Don't give up on it yet. I think you'll be missing out.

Great! In order to add mods you first have to make your game moddable. There are two ways to do this. The simplest way is to use one of the big mod packs like Ultrapack. This is easy as you just run the setup of the pack and it takes care of everything. The pack installs also a bunch of great mods that make the game much better than default like new sounds and effects, as well as a lot of the new planes and maps that the modders have made. However you also get a lot of content that you might not be interested in.
The other way is to install a mod activator like the SAS one. This opens up your game for you to add mods of your choice. You can then select to add your prefered effects or sounds and of course planes, maps and other stuff.
For the SAS mod activator check here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,15232.0.html
On the same site you can find a lot of mods, including the latest jet pack: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,14158.0.html
and the maps for Korea and some more planes of the era here: http://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,14166.0.html
Manual modding is a bit more complicated than adding a pack. I would suggest to wait for just a few days until the new Ultrapack v3.0 will be out and will contain all of the above in an easy install. You will find the Ultrapack 3.0 here:
http://ultrapack.il2war.com/index.php
However, we might have used a lot of space from the FSX forum already so I'd be happy to continue this on the Il-2 SOH forum a few lines lower from here.
