Sorry if you thought you may have missed a great add on like Mark's Solomon Islands scenery or the Vietnam War Project! 
I have just started doing some home grown things as Korea seems to be largely overlooked in FS but has a great place in aviation history and in particular navops. I discovered just recently the wonderful Valley Forge CV-45 converted to FSX by Lazarus (search SOH FSX forum). Have substituted this into a carrier track that came with the SDB Big E off the West coast of Korea. I can now find and land on a period (straight deck Essex) cv using the RFN tacan gauge in my e.g., Panther, Spad or Corsair.
As I have done with Vietnam/Yankee Station, it wouldn't have the right atmosphere without building a period carrier AI setup. You need a fixed carrier bgl (i.e. scenery) for this so I am using - to start with - an old Rick Hogen addon (FS9) "Carriers 2006" with AFCADs, parking etc and this is stationed off the East coast. For AI I am using thus far the A-H Panther (I fly the Vertigo), A2A F4U and both Piglet's and RAZBAM Spad's - I forgot that the latter is still pretty nice with a variety of models, load outs and paints. This was pre '55 so carrier a/c are all Glossy Sea Blue. There is a good/recent "Brubaker" repaint for the AH F9F I found over at simviation. I want to try converting the Valley Forge into a library object (with ModelconverterX I think) that I can replace the Hogen cvn with. Need to find the time for that though . Add some freeware mesh and the eastern part of Korea comes alive and is quite mountainous. Great to patrol in your Banshee, AD, Corsair, Sabre etc. May add some AI enemy Migs and USAF F-86 traffic at some point.
Please share any thoughts and suggestions.
