That is a Korea-war sim, and focuses on the earlier jets; not what the
OP was asking for. But it is certainly still playable today.
(I do have FotI, but indeed it will not play well on modern machines;
most of the old dos flightsims I've tried (in DosBox) are hard to
achieve consistent performance in, with todays fast hardware, even if
they can be partly playable; they can get too jittery to control, or
fails in weapon delivery).
Also there's a helo sim, called 'Vietnam Med Evac', though it isn't
quite in the same genre, and also a bit dated graphically while it runs
fine on xp.
