View File Rio de la Plata terrain
Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3
*****************************************************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean.
The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020.
It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind.
The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina.
Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map.
You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians:
SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon
For the Argentinians you can fly this missions:
SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON
New in vesion 1.2:
- number of target area increased from 37 to 47
- all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc.
- Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west.
- At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield.
- I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers.
- I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made.
- I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size.
New in version 1.3
- number of targetareas increades to 82
- a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina
- included uruguayan airbases
- included static Cessna for airfield "population
- included some goodies
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.
Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX
Thats it.
If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file
Rio_de_la_Plata_Bay.ini
with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
//CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
change the entry into:
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
//CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
save the file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
II.A: Goodies
I have made a new mainscreen and included a new mainscreensound. Check it out and if you like it then copy the folder Menu to your SF2 mod installation
If you own the TK's DLC28 and SF2Israel, you can use the MirageIIIEA and MirageIIIEBR, which you also find in the goodies folder. Simply copy to your objects folder.

View File Varyag Aircraft Carrier
What if: Aircraft Carrier "Varyag" ex Kremlin Class
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class.
The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or westeuropean carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of projece 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K as air group of the Baku.
The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov.
When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet.
The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varyag (Varangian). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaonang.
In this mod the fiction is, that the Ukraine finished the carrier and used it under the name "Varyag" (Varangian) as flagship of their Navy. The difference between Varyag and Kuznetov mod is that the ukrainian ship has no ship to ship missiles.
Remark to the name : Google translator gave me the translation "Варязький". Wikipedia say "Варяг" is correct. I'm not sure about it. Thatswhy i include both version. As standard i use "Варяг". Name files for "Варязький" you find in a subfolder under decals/Varyag/Varyaskij. If you want to use this name version, copy the files from Varyaskij folder to Varyag folder and let overwrite the existing one.
I'm not sure wheter "Варязький" is written correctly. Perhaps it must be "Варязькиi". If someone know, send me a PM.
