Must add that this is the new Korean Campaign for CFS2. Thanks to those who developed this campaign. BadBud

Hey there guys. Firstly, thanx for your positive feedback. It makes all that work worthwhile. Now the the failure of the flaps and gear. I've just answered a mail from someone someone experiencing exactly the same thing. Funny that this never showed up during testing. The only thing I can think of is that CFS2 can't handle the stresses of flying a jet. Look at the FAQ page on the Fox Four site (http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2kwfaq.htm) and check out the section on 'Difficulty and Realism settings' There's a change you can make in the CFS2.cfg that should solve this problem. Please try that and get back to me about whether that works or not.

All the best

Craig, as far as i recalll, the two MiGs should be more or less the same. I do recall Tom (our mission builder) saying something about making the one type easier to shoot down than the other. I don't think he would have altered the dp to do this, though, so I can't say for sure whether what you experience is by design.

Thanx for the info Bud. I have someone else experiencing the same thing and he's looking into it as well. We'll track this sucker down. One question. Was your version of CFS a clean installation or did you have other add-ons installed?

BadBud. Think we tracked down this bug. The gear failure will only happen with Flight Model in Medium & Hard settings. I'll post an update on the site when we've tested it properly. Meanwhile, you can pump the gear down manually. Shift + G or Ctrl + G depending on keyboard.
Sorry about this. With the amount of beta testing we thought we had everything covered. 

PS. Providing you're not getting error messages there's no problem with number of installed aircraft . Just be careful not to install too many more.

BadBud. I've posted a temporary quick fix for the electrical failure here. http://www.simviation.com/lair/cfs2kwupdates.htm
Please tell me if that fixed your problem. If it works OK I'll post a proper patch later.

Hagar..............thanks for the quick response. Your temparary fix works great, gear comes down, flaps work, and gauges work all through the latest mission that I flew. Was a good mission for me; six kills for a medal. A hint for those that are able to program their stick and/or throttle buttons: make sure that the button you program for speed breaks is the most convenient for quick and positive action. I learned this lesson flying dogfights in Falcon4 and it really applies here because of slower bandits that you might be up against. I am on and off those breaks constantly. Thanks to F-86 developers for installing speed break indicator light on panel; great help! This is as I have said before; a GREAT campaign and I love the F-86. Best 86 in my hanger. I hope there will be a second installment. BadBud

If carrier-based, does that mean that you will go to different aircraft (Panther?) or the Navy version of the F-86; the "Fury" I think it was called. BadBud

I have used the Korean campaign and it's very good. gear and flaps work fine, but when i try to go to the 2nd mission, it says, "file is corrupted" what the frig?

The usual cause of this problem is missing aircraft. Make sure you installed all the aircraft from Pack 1 correctly. If you use the auto-install it should work fine.

Yes Craig, I believe they used the Banshee in the James A. Mitchener novel the film was based on. In fact Mike & I used my own Banshee in our CFS1 version of it. http://www.simviation.com/cfs1missions4.htm
This was modified from a Mike Hill FS5 source file & was my first successful attempt at aircraft design. Although it's primitive by today's standards, I'm still proud of it. 

speaking of the Banshee, wasn't dakota93 working on one a while back

just compleated the campaign, 43 Mig 15s, 39 Tu 2s, 16 La 11s, 14 Yak 9s

I have a tiny bit of a problem I suppose. Basically there isn't a cfs2.CFG file. I searched on the "for files or folders" thing aswell but to no avail. There is a file called cfs2.ICD but it doesnm't appear to work with notepad, so I'm not really sure what I can do to stop the exploding jets phemonena from occuring....sorry if I'm sounding stupid at this current moment in time.

Thanx in advance for any helpful suggestions!

Hmmm Banshee ... *Fang attaches another aircraft to the ever increasing list of 'Planes to do'* Now where did I save those drawings ? ...... Ahhhh, here we go .....

LOL No fear Hagar. Like I said, it's on the list. It'll be a while yet bb4 I get started on that one

Gentleman,
Thank you, a fantastic campaign/ addon.
I made a fresh install of the game for this. I have way to many planes now, hence the delay before trying this one out.

Now I was never in Korea (or any other war for that matter,  something I would like to maintain) but the first mission looked just like the films told me it should! All that was missing was Hawkeye and the Radar from M*A*S*H !!

I have only one slight issue.
Some of the scenery and planes are real frame rate killers. I was down below 10fps at times. The mission requiring us to fly escort for bombers attacking a bridge was a problem. Every time I turned towards the bridge, however far away it was, the game turned into a slide show.

The Migs and all enemy planes were fine once I turned the graphics down a little but the US bombers were also a little hungry.

As you will have guest I don't have the best system but I'm usually ok with the graphics down around 3 - 4 on 800x600, 16 colour.

I was generally flying the separate missions last night so that I could try and tweak my settings to allow smooth play. So I now can't wait to try the whole thing out as a campaign.

I've not flown jets before. Those sabres are a whole world different from props. Great guns though. I do like seeing the opponent disintegrate before my eyes  Once I had got the hang of not turning too tight and got the airbrakes mapped to the joystick there were MiG's falling out the sky all over. And as for the enemy bombers. What a duck shoot

All in all FANTASTIC. And a real, great change from the props.  Brilliantly made. Can't wait for more!

Anyone fancy flying on-line with the Sabres?
Might be best once the Mig's are ready?
