What Makes GSIII – Flight Simulator – Heroes of the MIG Alley Stand Out
"MiG Alley" is the name given by United Nations (UN) pilots to the northwestern portion of North Korea, where the Yalu River empties into the Yellow Sea. During the Korean War, it was the site of numerous dogfights between UN fighter pilots and their opponents from North Korea (including some unofficially crewed by Soviet airmen) and the People's Republic of China.
Soviet-built MiG-15 were the aircraft used during most of the conflict, and the area's nickname was derived from them. It was the site of the first large-scale jet-vs-jet air battles, with the F-86 Sabre.
Playable aircrafts:
- F-86F Sabre

AI Aircrafts:

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We dont know how much work goes into the conversion, but we would love to see this brought over to Vr like Gunship Ww2 and the upcoming Gunship IV. These games are treasures all. Those who know, know.
Please update it for the most recent iPhone and please add jets like the p-80 and F-84 Please and thank you.
Wish this beautiful F-86 vs. Mig-15 combat flight sim got the love and attention it deserves. It is so realistic and fun. One thing this sim has that others lack is an impressive offline single player mode. Intercept A-26's, fight F-51's and F-80's, Mig-15's, F-86's escorting B-29's… BEWARE THE B-29's!!!!!!!! Quite satisfying when you complete both campaigns on "hard" (realistic flight with target labels) or "realistic" (no target labels). The final mission for the F-86 is being ambushed by like 15 Mig-15's. The final Mig-15 mission is shooting down 4 B-29's and their F-86 fighter escort (equally hard to do). Fortunately you have 3 wingmen.
How do you play the IA aircraft and play with other people and shoot the b29 Id appreciate it if the developer would write us back with directions on how to equip the IA aircraft and play with other people? Thank you.
It has good graphics,it is realistic,and it just is awesome!It also teaches you about the history of the planes it is a really fun game.
Sorry we were a hot head you actually talked back thanks but please fix if you did sorry we were really cranky we actually have a bit of an anger issue no seriously sense we were 6 and Im 9.
Love this game but we wished the could add all the Ai available aircraft to the player aircrafts. We would love to see the b-29 as a player aircraft.
We love the concept of this game. New jets from the Cold War. Its the dawn of the jet age. The only thing that we find weird of that not one single person is online. Come on guys does it really hurt creating a match and waiting cuz we always wait. Just try to create a match. How else do you guys think gunship iii started out. The exact same way.
The Gunship III – Combat Flight Simulator is one of the best combat flight Sims that you can purchase and get in the App Store or the Google play store! The graphics are unmatched, the gameplay is the most fun we've had with any app that we have gotten before. In fact, we deleted all the other apps that were flight Sims and kept only the flight Sims that are made by PNTK (Phanotek). We purchased all of them! There's one annoying flaw that we see in this series and it persists and all Gunship III sequels. That is the issue of deadly grass! You cannot crash land your jet or touch any grass in the game or your jet will instantly explode! And in large you are NOT updating Gunship III (Vietnam War) or Gunship III Heroes of Mig Alley (Korean War)!!!!! Why?!?! One major issue is that there is no speed or altitude in the heads up display when your are using easy mode and using the fly behind camera view!!! Why?!?!?! Please fix this to in Gunship III Series. You have left these Sims unupdated for a LONG TIME!!!!! By the way, more objectives or any objectives in Gunship III Heroes of Mig Alley would be nice! Only single player objectives!! Why?!? Maybe you can do a capture the base in these flight Sims to like you did in Wings of Duty? It would add a lot more fun to the Gunship III series. Also, it would be nice if you could be a ground anti-aircraft cannon or Sam missile battery.maybe there could be another installment and make it the ground forces package where you can be any type of ground force, Either anti-aircraft gun, Sam missile battery, or even a tank that can help capture bases, if you employee capture the base in gunship III series.
It has so much planes though u can only fly 2! Maybe you could reduce the price to for that though still a great game we love the optics on the aircraft.
We have recently purchased this marvel of a game and am very impressed, the graphics are amazing with a full day/night scale, the gameplay is realistic with G-Overloads and tracer marks. The only thing we're disappointed in is that no one plays it. Compared to all the other gunship games, it is similar and yet different, a new battle field, a different time, different aircraft, yet still the producers of Gunship 3 and Ww2 wings of duty will never seize to amaze us with the endless possibilitys in their games.
Mig alley is a game we enjoy a lot but its pretty dead and we want the devs to go back to this game and update because its already deleted on a app and you cannot download it because of how dead it is so please devs come back to it. Theres no other Korean War game like this and we would suggest that Im a future update fo this game make the f80 and f51 and F9F panther playable or the A26 because it would bring back some players in multiplayer and it wouldnt be that dead anymore but the thing Im saying here is devs come back to it.
Make ai playable pleas we beg you ai is awesome if you could play b-29 and the other ai plane you could be rich.
They need make the ai planes flyable. They could also add some planes F-84, F -80, sea fury, and meteor.
How do get more planes in this game you guys probably dont work on this game its a pretty useless question but we still want to know.
Really fun game from a really fun series. Worth $3.99. Really wish the altimeter and air speed was displayed like the ww2 game. Yes its displayed on the panel but hard to see. Also would like flap control.
Great game, great skin textures. Well designed maps and missions. But just like the other gunships, it really strives and is the most fun in its multiplayer form. Against AI and other people. But no one plays this sadly on multiplayer, (or at least when we last downloaded this game). Great however it gets boring after a bit of playing since no one plays it.
…you need a G Suit to play this because the one in-game isn't worth a.
We initially downloaded the game a long while ago and loved it's "guns only" nature compared to other dev titles (sans gunship sequel: ww2). In order to free up storage space on our phone we offloaded the app, but kept it's documents and data so that when we redownloaded we would still have all our progress. However, upon redownloading the game it is completely malfunctioning. When attempting to start the game, the game's initial graphic is shown, but soon after the game will suddenly exit out of itself and return us to our phone's homescreen. This process is repeated ad infinitum. It's very disappointing because we're a huge fan of this game and the dev in general.
This game is good but issues are going on you cannot play the bombers and piston engines warplanes even the ground forces add bombers and let us play the AI even on the enemy side plus make the yakov yak 9 to look like the GS WW2 cause the yak 9 in the game is a yakovlev yak 7 and also make all A.we playable in multiplayer too and in mission 3 UN side remove the LaGG 3 and replace it with the Lavochkin La 9 and playable also in multiplayer thanks for your support.
The f86 and MiG15 are good but we want to fly like the p51 and tu2 , we want to fly the AI planes.
Heycreators of this game. Can you create more aircraft to play besides the F86 and Mig 15 like the b29 and p51 and f82 twin mustang including the p80.
Apple please help! Does not work. Need refund.
The blackouts are horrible and any time we turn side ways we blackout its annoying.
While any gunship games work fine on the kindle fire there is no sound on the ipad.
The new update is poop and now can't do online multiplayer so it's not that good and in single ai won't spawn so fix these issues.
We always use multiplayer for the other games so we figured we'd try out this game's multiplayer. For some reason we can't get pass the clearance screen. Please fix.
They updated it on Dec 8th, so now you don't have the Campaign, just some random dogfights and the aircraft view doesn't work! Please go back! Should have never updated! And also the loading screen shows public domain photos of the Vietnam War.
Can you make this game kinda of like wings of duty and can you add more planes like the AL planes or light bombers and if you do add bombers can you make it to where you can control the gunners like on wings of duty and add ground forces.also can you pls let us know when the next update is ,you don't have to tell us what the update is about ,just let us know when the update is pls ,we mean it's been a while since you updated any gunship games so we hope the reason why it's taking so long is because the update is really good.
ANU CHEEKI BREEKI IV DAMKE! PAPOLI PAPOLI! No seriously you're paying to only fly two planes.
There needs to be Anti-aircraft-artillery(AAA),The navy with propeller and jet Aircraft with an aircraft carrier,And The USAF With propeller planes and more jets. And one More thing, what about flying light bombers like The tu-2 and the a-26? It would be awesome it You add our ideas.
This is a great game it takes all the great things from their other games and puts it into this one but is seems unfinished there are only two planes (we assume more will be added in the future) and there is not that many players in multiplayer (but that is not the developer nor the games fault) please add more aircraft into the game such as the P-51 and the P-80 we hope to see this game become a amazing game Like your other games such as gunship III. Also could you add fly able multi engine aircraft like the B-29? We feel this would add more realistic feel to the game and would encourage team work between the fighter planes and bombers. Overall this is a great game.
We love all of the GSIII games but we would like it if you guys could make a ww2 one and gulf war game please that would complete your simulater bunch great game.
Ok producers but you need to do something with multiplayer where we can fly planes like the AL planes because people wanted some improvements and we expected more planes plz.
We think more plane in the game would help more then two plane and play as Japan,Eastern Germany,and Western Germany. And have a good day thank you.
We're a big player and fan of the gunship 3 series, but this one could be better. There are only 2 planes so why'd they advertise for all the other planes on the app screen. Also, there's no one on multiplayer, compared to all the other games where there can be almost 60 people on at a time. Waste of money until this gets updated.
They should at least add one more plane for each side.
Plz add more planes that we can actually play. And also give the game more free-play missions.
Needs to be updated and more planes to fly.
We believe that "MiG Alley" is a great game overall. Although, some minor updates will surely make the game right on top. First of all, MiG Alley needs more online multiplayer missions. Just like in the "STRIKE Force" game of Gunship, it can have a mission in which online players cooperate and work together in completing a mission which leads to our next suggestion. Second of all, MiG Alley should also have roles made into the game. What we mean by this could be for example: One online player could be some ATC or another as a pilot. Those should be separated from any realistic modes or easy, etc so that others may choose their own mode. Last but not least, MiG Alley should include a more variety of planes as in Gunships and more. Thank you for reading and hope to see these suggestions out in the next update.
We think this game is great but needs more aircraft.
Love the Gunship III series but includes absolutely no instructions for weapon use ANYWHERE in ANY OF THE EXPANSIONS AS WELL. Would be a great app/sim franchise if they did what everyone else does which is include weapon system instructions of any kind.
Well for five bucks we only got two planes! That's all we have to say get more planes.
Realistic only like before. No arcade. New views are not easy to manipulate. We have bought everyone of these and these new updates are a major step backwards. Mores planes. No need to have multiple multiplayer levels as in, arcade est. One world that puts everyone to the test.
We were really hoping to play this game, but it realy diapointed us when there was only really one of everything. We really suggest u add the p51d and all the other aircrafts. We wanted our money back but we thought that it would be uptated to the condition in which a lot more flyable aicraft are included.Pleas add themselves aspects soon.
Developer more concerned about clouds and than functionality! Avoid.
Please fix the horrible Vietnam update before moving on to something else. We have paid for all gunships but we won't buy another until they get fixed.
Love the F-86 and Mig-15 with detail cockpits. Offline Missions are fantastic and fun dogfight. Cant ask for more.Best combat flight sim ever made for mobile.
We think this is a great game! But we found the single player difficult and not enough communication, especially when trying to form up.
Neat concept but er ah not worth the money. Yeah we know its a beta which is why this should be .99 or free. For the price we expected flight sim level. Faulty buttons, lack of directions, sub par graphics, the list goes on. You've been warned. Buyer beware.
