This Carrier Project Made its debut for Strike Fighters : Project 1 in March of 2006.
 
Since then three more versions were released for Thirdwire’s Gen 1 Titles.
There are a few more revisions done afterwards to the model for Gen 1 titles by other 3d artists in the Modding community.
 
This is Version 1.0 Gold of the current 3d Model, and has been extensively worked on to bring the quality and immersion level higher than in previous releases.
 
This will be the last version of this 3D Model released, work on a new model has begun that will allow me to bring the graphics detail up to higher standards with the newest features.

SF2E: TSF: The Suomenlahti Skirmishes
By The Scandinavian Front Team
 
During the summer of 1964, the Finnish Air Force is in the middle of a large buildup. Having been granted possesion of guided missiles and a few Bombers for Maritime Recon duties, the Finnish Air Force is a competent and mobile addition to the Scandinavian Arsenal.
 
On the first of August, The Soviet Union declared the Finns in voilation of the Paris treaty, limiting the size of their Air Force and decides to patrol the Finnish Skies. The Finns retort that any unauthorized aircraft in Finnish Airspace will be shot down.
 
The Finns are about to show what they can do with their new MiGs, the loathed Gnat and the venerable Vamppi against five full squadrons of Soviet Aircraft...
 
A/N:
 
The Mod is based around a limited air war between Finland and the Soviet Union. There is no ground conflict, and most of the missions will involve defensive measures taken to ensure Finnish Supremacy over their homeland. If you are a fan of Close Air Support or ground attack, this is probably not the mod for you.
 
Installation:
If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, TSF will mess around with settings other mods may be using.
 
As such, creating a seperate mod
folder for TSF is a good idea. If you only plan to use TSF, then this step can be bypassed.
 
Go to your installation folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2). Make a copy of Strike Fighters 2.exe / Strike Fighters 2 Europe.exe depending on what you prefer and got installed. Name the Copy Strike Fighters 2 TSF.exe . Start your new .exe once, then close the game.
 
Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows 7/Vista, this is located in C:\User \Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. Unzip the contents of the 7zip file into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites.
 
As long as this package is installed last, it can and should be merged with the other The Scandinavian Front packages.

The Catalina Affair
By The Scandinavian Front Team
 
"The Catalina affair was an incident on June 13, 1952, when a Swedish military Douglas DC-3A-360 Skytrain flying over the Baltic Sea carrying out signals intelligence gathering operations for the Swedish National Defence Radio Establishment (FRA), disappeared east of the isle of Gotska Sandön.
 
Three days later, two Swedish military Catalina flying boats searched for the DC-3 north of Estonia. One of the planes was shot down by Soviet warplanes but the crew ditched near the West German freighter Münsterland and were rescued."
 
 
As the survivors are flown from Finland with a military escort, the DC-3 wreckage is found by the Swedish Navy. Stalin at once declares the wreckage soviet property as "is filled to the brim with Soviet State Secrets" while Sweden declares their intention to combat any attempt to stop a salvage operation on international waters.
 
As the Swedish Navy rallies off Gotland to blockade the Baltic Navy ports from the point "Svensksund", the Soviets steam out to meet them....
 
This modification is based on the fictional event that the Catalina Affair resulted in an armed conflict. It is not a reproduction of actual events.
 
The TSF Team wish to dedicate this mod to the crew of the DC-3 and Anders Jallai, the man who found them.
 
Installation:
If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, TSF will mess around with settings other mods may be using. As such, creating a seperate mod
folder for TSF is a good idea. If you only plan to use TSF, then this step can be bypassed.

Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows XP/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. Unzip the contents of the 7zip file into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites.
 
Done! Enjoy the game!
 
NOTES:
 
* The Swedish Navy is larger in the mod then it actually was in the 1950s. This is due to the pacing in the action required it.
 
* The Swedish Air Force actually had only one P-51B. For novelty reasons and fun, you can choose what J 26 type to fly. If you choose another squadron, then all P-51s will be D versions.

SF2E: The Scandinavian Front
Operation Isbjörn 1.3 Stand Alone.
By The Scandinavian Front Team.
 
Special thanks to gillg and Wrench.
 
In 1956, diplomatic talks about the Baltic Sea region between Finland, Sweden and the Soviet Union broke down. Angered and afraid of
NATOs influence in Scandinavia, The Soviet Union demands that Finland and Sweden joins the Warsaw pact to ensure the borders of the
Union. Both countries refuse. On October 1th, the Soviet Union deploys forces to force the countries into the pact.
 
Sweden, Finland and Norway set condition Isbjörn, activating an alliance against Soviet Agression and rallies to defend Scandinavia...
 
Installation Instructions:
Simply unzip it all into your mod folder. I would advise you to use a clean installation so there is as little risk as possible
for errors. This mod does not overwrite any original data and can be used alongside any Central Europe themed mod Campaign - in theory.
 
If you own Strike Figthers 2 Israel, unzip the "Install_if_you_have_SFI_Exp1" file into the mod folder as well, and allow any overwrites.
 
This can be used as stand alone or to patch earlier versions of Operation Isbjörn.
Important Notes:
SF2 Europe is a requirement. Preferably, use a fully merged installation.
The Terrain itself is not very combatible with the other games, hence the requirement.
 
While the DLC 008 Hawker Hunter is not required, its strongly recommended for this campaign.
If you have the A-21R from A-Team Site, This campaign has a squadron that flies it - if installed.
 
Kindly report any bugs or issues to me by PM or in proper thread.
 
1.3 Additions:
A 32A Lansen (Early)
The Lansen have been reskinned and revamped completly. Feels different, acts different, looks VERY Different ! A must try!
 
The Vampire:
J-28B Vampire and the finnish "Vamppi" is now flyable for people without Expansion Pack One. They are not as good looking
as pauls versions, but they are a good substitute for the AI.
 
Also included are many fixes and twists as well as some bug fixes. Enjoy !

CVN Ulyanovsk v1.0 for SF2
 
This is the cancelled Soviet nuclear carrier Ulyanovsk as it would have appeared had it been finished. Works fine in campaigns.
 
Uses a few big textures. If your computer can handle Ravenclaw's Buccaneer it can probably handle this.
 
Oh, and planes will generally launch through the skijump unless you use plenty of flaps. I tried having them launch diagonally but tbh either way looks as dumb. If you absolutely cannot live with it change the catapult ID's in the .ini.
 
Known Issues:
 
None that I know of.
 
Credits:
 
Model & textures by me except a few bits that were borrowed from TW CV-63 carrier.
 
These are: Catapult rails, deck trucks, railings and deck underside.
