Donbass Beta 0.40 ***************************************************** Southern Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula Terrain THIS IS STILL A BETA VERSION!!!! ============================ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This terrain is written for SF2E. It works well with SF2NA. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: The south and the east of the Ukraine are battlegrounds in mid 2022. At the moment nobody knows how the war will end. This terrain covers the most parts of the Ukraine and some parts of the Russian Federation. But only the southern war theater and the crimean peninsula are included in this terrain so far. Airfields and some other target areas are placed on the map. Further improvements will come. I made the airfields in their shape as realistic as possible. Only 3 airfields are more or less freestyle. At the moment the terrain is made for scenarios around the Crimean peninsula. Offensive operations are more focused for the ukrainian side. In ukrainian strike missions you can fly against airfields, factories, depots, Sewastopol harbour and support facilities and a dense SAM network. For the russian side you can only fly against enemy airfields. At the moment possible mission types are: Sweep, CAP, Escort, Intercept, Recon, Strike and SEAD missions. The terrain is set as NavalMap=FALSE, but it is prepared for NavalMap=TRUE. If you use SF2NA as basic game you may change the setting, so that carrier vs carrier operations will be possible. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. INSTALLATION: To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic or 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 Donbass.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 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III.

Strike Fighters 2: Crisis in the Med This is an add-on package for the "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" Expansion Pack available at CombatAce. The "Strike Fighters 2: Crisis in the Med" (SF2MC) add-on includes two new campaigns, both set in the Mediterranean early to mid 80's and both providing fictionalized takes on real world events from that time period. Also included are sixteen new aircraft and a three-dozen new ground objects to fill out these new campaigns. This add-on package is designed to be applied over the top of an existing installation of the SF2NA Expansion Pack. You can download the three main Expansion Pack files here: Part 1: http://combatace.com/files/file/13980-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-1-of-3/ Part 2: http://combatace.com/files/file/13979-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-2-of-3/ Part 3: http://combatace.com/files/file/13978-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-3-of-3/ Please take a look over the remainder of this ReadMe before installing this add-on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The minimum requirements for this add-on package are: REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plus Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus Strike Fighters 2 Israel (SF2I), plus Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V), plus DLC #28 (AI Plane Pack 1) PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher As this mod is an add-on to the SF2NA Expansion Pack, you must have that earlier mod already installed and working. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's how to install this update package: 1. Ensure that SF2NA, SF2V, SF2, SF2I, and SF2E are all properly installed & updated as part of a merged install. 2. Ensure that the SF2NA Expansion Pack is properly installed and working. (See above for links to all the download components.) 3. Unpack SF2_MedCrisis.7z to a safe place on your drive. 4. Open the \To_Mod_Folder directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within \To_Mod_Folder to your SF2NA Expansion Pack Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted. At this point the SF2MC add-on is installed and you're ready to play the new campaigns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary of New Campaigns ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This add-on supplies two new campaigns for the SF2NA Expansion Pack, both set in the Mediterranean early to mid 80's. Both campaigns involve fictionalized takes on real world events: - Powder Keg: After Israeli armored units invade southern Lebanon in June 1982, driving PLO forces north to Beruit and routing Syrian tank regiments, the Soviet Union dispatches a large amphibious group anchored by two carriers to intervene. Standing in the way is one lone U.S. carrier group: the USS Eisenhower and her escorts. With little support from feckless NATO allies, the Eisenhower sails north to intercept the Soviet 5th Eskadra and Black Sea Fleet. - El Dorado Canyon: In June 1986 the Reagan Administration decides to take action against Libya following several years of naval and air skirmishes between the US Navy and the Libyan military as well as a string of terrorist attacks against civilian targets in the Middle East and Europe, all financed or supported by Libya. Codenamed "El Dorado Canyon," this operation will be a coordinated series of strikes by USAF and USN aircraft against Libyan military and industrial targets over the course of five days. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's Included ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This add-on includes the following updates for the SF2NA Expansion Pack: NEW AIRCRAFT (Soviet & NATO) - BR.1150 (AMI) - C-130H (HAF) - Ka-27 - Mi-24P - S-3A - S-3B - Tu-16KSR2 - UH-1D (HAF) NEW AIRCRAFT (Libya) - An-12 - C-47A - C-130H - G-222 - Mi-8T - Mi-24P - MiG-21bisB - MiG-23BN - MiG-23MF - MiG-23MLA - MiG-23MS - MiG-25PD - MiG-25RB - Mirage5D - Mirage5DE - F-1AD - F-1ED - Su-20B - Su-22 - Su-22M3 - Su-24MK - Tu-22 NEW GROUND OBJECTS - BTR-60 - FROG-3 - M38Jeep-Red - M38Jeep-Yellow - ZIL-157_M1939_Trailer - ZIL-157_SA2_Trailer - Zil-157_ZPU-1 - Zil-157Flatbed - Zil-157Troops NEW SAMS & RADARS (Libya) - BarlockB - Crotale - FansongF - FlatfaceB - SA-2LF - SA-3QL - SA-5LB - SidenetB - SquarePairB NEW SHIPS - Assad - FAPC - Komar - Koni - LNGTanker - Moskva - MTB - MVAtlantic_Causeway - MVAtlantic_Conveyor - MVBaltic_Ferry - MVNordic_Ferry - MVTor_Caledonia - NanuchkaII - SSCanberra - Vosper OTHER ADDITIONS - EasternMed terrain - Libya terrain - two new campaigns - misc. new skins - misc. new weapons OTHER UPDATES: - updated & expanded F-14 skins/decals - new lo-viz skins for A-6E_79 & A-7E_74 - new EF-111A 42nd ECS skin - new F/A-18A skins for VFA15,VFA82,VFA86,VFA87,VMFA314,VMFA323 - additional Mi-8T Soviet camo skins ~~~~~~~ Credits ~~~~~~~ This update contains a number of new items from the following modders who generously allowed their use: Dave (USAFMTL) ........................

Texas Falcons: F-16s over the Lone Star State 1990-1999 This mod represents the various models of F-16 that were in service in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve during the 1990s. These units include the - 457th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Fort Worth - 704th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Bergstrom AFB - 111th Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Ellington ANGB - 182d Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Lackland AFB These units have utilized a range of F-16 models over the years and a wider range of missions. The 704th deactivated in 1996, and the 111th converted to MQ-1s in 2009. But the 457th and 182d are still going strong as Viper operators today Included Team Viper F-16C Blocks 25, 30, 32 Modified Team Viper F-16A/B Block OCU, F-16D Block 30 new F-16A/B Block 15 ADF, F-16D Blocks 25 and 30 various period specific weapons and pilots various ini edits to match the era new hangar and loading screens NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons. Other Note: If there is not a two seater assigned to a unit, there will not be a D model skin for that unit. I have checked about a dozen times to be sure I wasnt missing something Credits Viper Team F-16C Blocks 25, 30, 32 ravenclaw_007 new F-16A/B Block 15 ADF, F-16D Blocks 25 and 30templates (C and D) Viper Team/daddyairplanes F-16D Block 30 (derived from the F-16D_B30_Aggressor) killerbee331 original weapons pack that many armaments are drawn from here malibu43 2_LAU-88 mod to carry 4 Maverick rather than 6 daddyairplanes skins, tga work, much research, various ini edits, new TW inspired loading screens test team NightshadeP/R, allenjb42, Niels, bigstone, Wrench, Coupi, Thank you, and I hope you enjoy this mod. daddyairplanes aka Kevin Unruh 11 Aug 2022 ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

Strike Fighters 2: Indian Ocean This mod package for "Strike Fighters 2" supplies the aircraft, ground objects, guns, weapons, and effects to support four campaigns centered on the tensions and occasional conflicts between India and Pakistan. Two of those campaigns are fictional and involve the U.S. Navy, which intervenes amidst rising tensions between the two countries in a support of Pakistan. Two are historial -- based on actual wars fought between the two countries. To use this mod, you must have a merged install that includes "Strike Fighters 2" (SF2), "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E), "Strike Fighters 2: Israel" (SF2I), SF2I "Expansion Pack 1" (EXP1), "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" (SF2V), and "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA). This mod also requires the MirageIIIO DLC aircraft from ThirdWire. Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package and should be installed to its own dedicated Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to combine it with any other major mod such as "NATO Fighters," as you could end up with a non-working install. Also, although this mod shares a number of common elements with the SF2NA Expansion Pack, it is NOT designed to be installed over or merged with that earlier mod. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Minimum Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To install and play this mod, you must have the following installed as part of your target installation base: REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus Strike Fighters 2 Israel (SF2I), plus Strike Fighters 2 Israel - Expansion Pack 1, plus Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V), plus Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plus DLC #17 (Mirage IIIO) PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher This mod does support installations that include the F-4N DLC aircraft from ThirdWire, but it is not required. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before installing, please ensure that your target SF2 install meets the minimum requirements laid out above. ----------------------------------- * STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER * ----------------------------------- This mod requires a separate Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with any other mods package such as "NATO Fighters" or the SF2V Expansion Pack. - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.exe. Rename the copied .EXE file to SF2_IndianOcean.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer). - Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your "SF2 Indian Ocean" install will have been created in one of these locations: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] ...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created. You will install the "Expansion Pack" mod files to your Mod Folder. - Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it). Now you're ready to install the "Expansion Pack" mod proper. ------------------------------------------------- * STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER * ------------------------------------------------- This is the easiest step. - Unpack the five "SF2 Indian Ocean" archive packages that you downloaded to a temporary location on your hard drive. - Move the *contents* of the \To_Mod_Folder directory from each package to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). (Note: do not simply drag and drop the folder named "To_Mod_Folder" or you will end up with a non-working install.) If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories. ---------------------------- * STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI * ---------------------------- This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention. Open the Options.INI file in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Single Mission" section. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows: StartYear=1948 EndYear=2020 Finally, a little further down you should find the "Campaign" section. Replace it with the following: [Campaign] CampaignName=1987-1021 Southern Calm PlayerService=USN PlayerUnit=VF-103 Sluggers AircraftType=F-14A_82 Difficulty=HARD Length=NORMAL AircraftSupply=NORMAL WeaponSupply=LIMITED LoadCampaign=TRUE CampaignSavename=DefaultCampaignSave Save your changes and close the Options.INI file. * * * * * THAT'S IT. Your "SF2 Indian Ocean" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Optional Installs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod includes a number of "optional" items that can be installed, provided you have the required files to suport them. These "optional" items can be broken down into three types: - Optional Aircraft - Optional Ships - Alternate Campaigns 1. Optional Aircraft -------------------- The \Option\Alt_Aircraft directory includes three optional aircraft that you can install. These alternate aircraft replace the substitutes that are installed by default. Opt Aircraft Substitute ------------ ---------- F-4N (DLC) F-4N (based on F-4B_67) Marut Su-7BMK L-1049 C-47A (India) How to Install: F-4N: If you have the F-4N DLC installed to your target SF2 installation and wish to use the DLC version instead of the default F-4N, simply remove the substitute F-4N from \Objects\Aircraft in your Mod Folder. Then move the DLC version from \Optional\Alt_Aircraft (part of the first package you downloaded) to \Objects\Aircraft. In other words, swap the DLC version for the default version. Marut & L-1049: The HF-24 Marut and L-1049 require LODs (model files) from the A-Team's download site: http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/Skunworks.html 1. Download the appropriate package containing the necessary LODs from the A-Team's site (link included above). For the Marut you will need to download the HF-24 Marut. For the L-1049 you will need the C-121 Super Constellation. 2. Unzip the package you downloaded to a temporary directory. 3. Copy the .LOD files from the package you downloaded to the appropriate aircraft folder in the \Alt_Aircraft directory. 4. Once you've added the LOD files to the aircraft's folder, you may install the aircraft and accompanying decals from the \Alt_Aircraft directory to your "SF2 India" Mod Folder. Once installed the L-1049 and HF-24 Marut will be automatically used in campaigns. The F-4N is not used in any campaigns but can be used in Single Missions. 2. Optional Ships ----------------- Also included are three ships that can also be installed, provided you obtain the correct LODs to support them. Two ships are USN destroyers (the Charles F. Adams class and Farragut or Coontz class) based on the DLG-10 included in the "Yankee Air Pirate 2" and "Yankee Air Pirate 3" commercial mods. To use these optional destroyers you must have the necessary LOD files from "Yankee Air Pirate". The third is the INS Viraat. To use it you must have the LOD files for the HMS Hermes from the SF2 Falklands mod: http://combatace.com/files/file/13296-sf2-falklands-mod-redux/ How to Install: a. For the destroyers, remove the substitutes (named Adams and Farragut) that are installed by default from \Objects\GroundObject in your Mod folder. (These substitute versions are based on the ThirdWire CGN-36.) The Viraat has no subsititute to remove. b. Copy the Coontz2.LOD from "Yankee Air Pirate" to the Adams and Farragut folders in \Optional\Alt_Ships (part of the first package you downloaded). For the Viraat, copy the R12 .LOD files from the Hermes (R12) in the SF2 Falklands mod to the Viraat folder in \Optional\Alt_Ships. c. Create collision LODs for both destroyers by making a copy of Coontz2.LOD and renaming it Coontz2_COL.LOD. For the Viraat the collision LOD is the R12-R2b_COL.LOD that's already included in the SF2 Falklands mod. d. Move the ships from \Optional\Alt_Ships\GroundObject to \Objects\GroundObject in your MOD folder. The campaigns will automatically use the new versions of the USN destroyers. The Viraat is not used in any campaigns but can be used in Single Missions. 3. Conventional Campaigns ------------------------- The game engine for SF2NA brought many welcome new features to the world of Strike Fighters 2. As useful as those new features are, the SF2NA campaign engine (i.e., the engine that allows for "naval campaigns" with battle groups and cruise missile strikes) was clearly designed specifically for the SF2NA Iceland/North Atlantic campaign, as it attempts to turn every campaign into North Atlantic, Part II. Once battle groups are "discovered" by the opposing side, the campaign engine will throw everything at that battle group, mission after mission, until all the ships are sunk or the attacking side runs out of aircraft capable of performing strike missions. This can become a bit wearisome, and it is extremely difficult to prevent those battle groups from being "discovered" and attacked. In the standard SF2NA-style campaigns listed above, this usually happens around the fifth mission of the campaign. To give players an alternative to the standard "North Atlantic" duel-to-death naval campaign, I have included standard SF2-style versions of the two fictional campaigns (the 1974 and 1987 campaigns). The "conventional" versions put the campaigns' focus squarely on the battle between India and Pakistan. The Indian government -- based on a combination of military and political reasons -- elects not to directly attack American carrier groups while still engaging U.S. aircraft flying in support of Pakistan.) Note that the two historical campaigns (1965 and 1971) were built from the start as "conventional," non-navalized campaigns. The upside to these "conventional" campaigns is that the campaign engine no longer gets stuck in the same cycle of hurling strike aircraft at the battle groups over and over. The downside is that carrier battle groups no longer move together. The carrier moves, but the escort ships are static terrain elements. Also, the big bombers on both sides tend to make less frequent appearances from their off-map air bases. How to Use the Conventional Campaigns: If you wish to try the conventional campaigns, you will have to install them from \Optional\Alt_Campaigns (found in the directory where you unpacked the "SF2 Indian Ocean" downloads). a. Drag the \Campaigns folder to the Mods folder where you installed the "SF2 Indian Ocean" mod, allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. b. Drag the \Terrains folder to the "Black Sea Crisis" Mods folder as well, again allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. When you re-start the game, the listed campaigns will play as conventional, SF2-style campaigns. Please note that in the above install process you are effectively converting the India-Pakistan terrain into a conventional SF2 terrain. While the terrain is coverted into a conventional, non-naval terrain, naval aircraft in Single Missions will fly from land bases, not carriers. To convert the terrain back into an SF2NA-style "naval" terrain, copy these files from \Terrains\IndiaPak (in the directory where you unpacked the "SF2 Indian Ocean" download files) to the \Terrains\IndiaPak directory in your Mods folder: IndiaPak.INI IndiaPak_TARGETS.INI IndiaPak_WATER.bmp That's right -- those are the only files that need to be restored. I would recommend restoring the original SF2NA-style campaigns at the same time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary of Campaigns ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod includes four campaigns -- two historical campaigns plus two fictional campaigns. For each campaign a Red-side and Blue-side version is included, allowing you to fly aircraft from all three nations represented in the campaigns: India, Pakistan, and the USN. Here's a quick summary of the campaigns: 1987-1021 Southern Calm October 1987. A joint naval exercise, code-named "Southern Calm," conducted by the USS Saratoga carrier battle group with the Pakistani Navy is interrupted when the Indian government denounces the joint maneuvers as cover for a planned nuclear strike by Pakistan using recently developed nuclear warheads designed to be delivered by Pakistan's U.S. supplied F-16s. 1974-0421 Frowning Buddha April 1974. After the Bhutto government of Pakistan publicly denounces India's preparations to conduct a "peaceful nuclear explosion" at the Pokhran Test Range and declares its intention to stop the test through unilateral military action, the Nixon administration dispatches the Kitty Hawk carrier battle group to the Arabian Sea in support of Pakistan. 1971-1203 India-Pakistan War '71 December 1971. After eight months of rising tensions over India's support for the secessionist government of East Pakistan, the Pakistani Air Force elects to strike the first blow in a seemingly inevitable war by launching a pre-emptive attack against airfields and other military targets in western India. 1965-0901 India-Pakistan War '65 September 1965. The Pakistani military launches Operation Grand Slam, an effort to seize the town of Akhnoor in Jammu and cut off Indian communications and supply lines in the disputed region of Kashmir. Although it enjoys initial success, Grand Slam also manages to draw the Indian Air Force into a conflict that threatens to grow into a major conflagration. ~~~~~~~ Credits ~~~~~~~ This mod package draws on the work on dozens of modders who have uploaded the fruits of their labor to CombatAce.com and elsewhere over the years.

Strike Fighters 2: North Cape (Version 1.2) This is an add-on package for the "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" Expansion Pack available at CombatAce. The "Strike Fighters 2: North Cape" (SF2NC) add-on includes two new campaigns, both set in northern Norway during the late 70's and early 80's. Also included are fourteen new aircraft and a dozen new ground objects to fill out these new campaigns. This add-on package is designed to be applied over the top of an existing installation of the SF2NA Expansion Pack. You can download the three main Expansion Pack files here: Part 1: http://combatace.com/files/file/13980-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-1-of-3/ Part 2: http://combatace.com/files/file/13979-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-2-of-3/ Part 3: http://combatace.com/files/file/13978-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-3-of-3/ Please take a look over the remainder of this ReadMe before installing this add-on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The minimum requirements for this add-on package are the same as for the SF2NA Expansion Pack. REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plus Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V) PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher As this mod is an add-on to the SF2NA Expansion Pack, you must have that earlier mod already installed and working. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's how to install this update package: 1. Ensure that SF2NA, SF2V, SF2, and SF2E are all properly installed & updated as part of a merged install. 2. Ensure that the SF2NA Expansion Pack is properly installed and working. (See above for links to all the download components.) 3. Unpack SF2_NorthCape.7z to a safe place on your drive. 4. Open the \To_Mod_Folder directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within the \To_Mod_Folder sub-folder to your SF2NA Expansion Pack Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted. At this point the SF2NC add-on is installed and you're ready to play the new campaigns. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary of New Campaigns ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This add-on supplies five campaigns for the SF2NA Expansion Pack, all set in northern Norway during the late '70's and early to mid '80's. Two of the new campaigns are variants of the same underlying campaign: - Nordic Sword (79): After war erupts in Europe, the USS Nimitz carrier battle group sails north off the Norwegian coast in September 1979 to contain the Soviet Northern Fleet as it attempts to break out from the Barents Sea and into the North Atlantic. A trailing Amphibious Group carries U.S. Marines ready join the Norwegian Army in its fight to prevent Soviet armored regiments from seizing the North Cape. The Norwegian Air Force flies F-5As and F-104s. Temporarily deployed to Norwegian air bases are two squadrons of USAF F-4Es and a squadron of USAF F-111Fs. A squadron of B-52Gs, hastily deployed to RAF Fairford (off map), is available for use in theater. - Nordic Sword (82): A variant of the 1979 campaign, set in 1982. The USN carrier battle group is led by the USS Independence. The Norwegian Air Force has one squadron that has transitioned from F-104s to F-16As. Temporarily deploying to Norwegian air bases are two squadrons of RAF F-4Ms and one squadron of USAF F-111s. The other three comprise a linked series of campaigns set in 1986: - Fighting Withdrawal (86): Just hours after the Warsaw Pact invades Central Europe, Soviet armored columns and airborne troops launch an assault on northern Norway. As Norwegian army units fall back, the USS Nimitz and her escorts are ordered to withdraw from the waters off Norway, lest the carrier and her invaluable air wing fail prey to Soviet bombers filling the skies over Norway. - Return to Norway (86): With the ground war in Central Europe stalemated and the Soviet Northern Fleet defeated in the North Atlantic following a failed assault on Iceland, the USS Nimitz returns to Norway with the USS Forrestal and a Marine amphibious group to retake the airfields and ports under Soviet control in northern half of the country. The Marines will seize Narvik, splitting the Soviet occupation forces, while relying on the two carriers' air wings to provide a covering umbrella of air support. - Assault on the Kola Peninsula (86): Three weeks after the successful landing of Marines near Narvik and subsequent defeat of Soviet forces in Norway, the Nimitz and Forrestal battle groups take position in the Barents Sea to strike Soviet air bases and naval facilities on the Kola Peninsula. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Terrain Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This add-on is based on the North Cape terrain created by Baltika and updated by Wrench. As Wrench notes in his ReadMe for his updated version, the terrain is not in a final, finished state. Thus, you should be aware of some of the terrain's anomalies, which I have not been able to redress. Air Bases Some air bases on this terrain are un-usable for various reasons. - Some air bases sit on ground that still needs proper flattening. At affected air bases, the runway and parking areas may disappear from view at ground level. In the very worst cases, aircraft may bounce around or even explode on the ground as they taxi or take off. For the included campaigns I have not used any of the most affected air bases, though at one Norwegian air base (Narvik-Framnes) the runway will disappear from view at ground level (aircraft still taxi and take off without issue). - Some air bases sit in the middle of heavily forested areas, with trees crowding the runway and taxiways. Most of these bases are in the southern area of the terrain, which is generally not used for the campaign. In sum, although some air bases on this terrain have unresolved issues, they are for the most part not used in the campaigns. If you try to fly game-generated single missions, though, you could find yourself starting from a problem air base. Naval Groups One other problem you could encounter in game-generated single missions involves the placement of opposing naval forces. Although the terrain has been properly converted to SF2NA Naval Map standards, the single mission engine often ignores the designated water areas for friendly and enemy naval groups, which are generally along the northern peripheries of the map. The game engine seems to prefer spawning naval groups in the center of the map -- the Gulf of Bothnia -- often right on top of one another. This misplacement of naval forces really only becomes an issue if you are flying naval aircraft off carriers in game-generated single missions. When flying a naval aircraft on a single mission, you would do well to check the mission map before taking off. If the game engine has chosen to locate opposing naval groups in ridiculous places, back out and start a new mission. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's Included ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This add-on includes the following updates for the SF2NA Expansion Pack: NEW AIRCRAFT - C-130E (RNoAF) - CF-104 (72) - F-5A - F-16A Block 10 - F-104G - MiG-25PD - MiG-25RB - MiG-27K - MiG-27M - RF-5A - Su-24 - Su-24M - Su-25 - Vulcan B2 (MRR) NEW GROUND OBJECTS - Container Ship - Firecan - Leopard1A1 - M113A1 - Oiler - Oslo - Petrolero - Soviet Cruiser - Soviet Freighter - Soviet Tanker - Soviet Trawler OTHER ADDITIONS - North Cape terrain - two new campaigns - misc. new skins - misc. new weapons ~~~~~~~ Updates ~~~~~~~ In May 2015 this mod package was refreshed with the following updates, additions, & fixes: NEW AIRCRAFT - AH-1J_80 - Be-12 - IL-38 - IL-38N - Ka-27 - Mi-24P - MiG-31 - NimrodMR1 - P-3C - S-3B - Su-15TM - Su-17M3 - Su-17M4 - Su-27 - TornadoGR1 - Tu-16KSR2 - Tu-126 NEW GROUND OBJECTS - BMP-2 - BMP-2_AT-5 - CommTrailer - HQTrailer - Kilo - KiloSub - Koni - NanuchkaI - NanuchkaIF NEW CAMPAIGNS - CampaignNC3A: Fighting Withdrawal - CampaignNC3B: Return to Norway - CampaignNC3C: Assault on the Kola Peninsula Other notable additions/updates: - updated campaigns - three new campaigns - updated & expanded F-14 skins/decals - new lo-viz skins for A-6E_79 & A-7E_74 - additional Mi-8T Soviet camo skins - updated & corrected terrain ~~~~~~~ Credits ~~~~~~~ This update contains a number of new items from the following modders who generously allowed their use: yakarov79 ........................

This is an all-inclusive package. It already contains everything you need to play. (Please read the included Credits file. I could not do what I do without the lovely people who helped me by allowing me to use their work!) The official soundtrack of the mod is with Sabaton. Before downloading the main files again if you seek to patch the game, check the support topic. Patches are posted there too. Main Features: New 512x512 Terrain Tiles by Stary; resident master of Terrains who have made sure that the Baltic region looks the part and steadily pushes the limits of the SF2 Engine. New Campaign: That is right. We did not settle with just upgrading the ones we already had, you will get a remake of the classic Operation Mannerheims Shield set in the year 2014. New Flyable Aircraft: F 16AM Falcon, F 18 Hornet, J 32E Lansen , The J 35J Draken, Danish & Finnish Drakens, SK-16 & Helikopter 15B amongst others, the Helicopter with its own Visby Operations Mission! While most of these have been available by talented modders for some time; we have now a proper playground for them. Others, such as Ravenclaws J 32E and the Helicopter 15B has never been released. New AI Aircraft: S 100C Argus, MiG 31BM, SU-25TM, Tu 16T Badger, Tu 22M3 Backfire, IL-10 Beast as well as compatibility with the AI Planes Pack Su-9. New Ground Objects: Swedish Anti-Aircraft Units, Russian Amphibious Landing ship, Soveremmeny Class Destroyer, Kresta Class Cruiser and more. All new effects. A number of corrections, smoother code, changes and small additions to existing campaigns as well as numerous bug fixes. Included Campaigns: Campaign Name: The Catalina Affair Year: 1952 Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force Naval Combat: Yes Ground War Scale: Small What to expect: A quick campaign with props and early jets over the Baltic. Made to resemble a larger battle that does not go deeper into a full blown war. Campaign Name: Operation Isbjörn Year: 1956 Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force, Finnish Air Force, Norwegian Air Force Naval Combat: Yes Ground War Scale: Medium What to expect: A longer campaign with jets and props. More focus on the ground war. Campaign Name: Operation Mannerheims Sköld Year: 1966 Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force, Finnish Air Force, Norwegian Air Force, Danish Air Force Naval Combat: Yes Ground War Scale: Large What to expect: The Total War in Scandinavia. A long campaign, where no stops will be pulled in order to succeed in the battle. Large air battles, air assaults and intense dogfights are on the schedule. Campaign Name: Midvintermörker Year: 2012 Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force Naval Combat: In a manner of speaking Ground War Scale: Small What to expect: Based on a novel by Lars Wilderäng. The ultimate pilots challenge as you fight to retake Gotland from a Russian Invasion Force. Survival is your goal. Campaign Name: Operation Mannerheims Sköld 2014 Year: 2014 Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force, Finnish Air Force, Norwegian Air Force Naval Combat: Yes Ground War Scale: Large What to expect: The Total War in Scandinavia. A long campaign, where no stops will be pulled in order to succeed in the battle. Large air battles, air assaults and intense dogfights are on the schedule. Just with modern aircraft and adjusted accordingly. Gets very interesting as both sides start to run low on supply and have to risk losing missions to preserve their aircraft. Installation: This mod requires SF2: Europe. SF2 North Atlantic, Expansion Pack 1 and DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter is highly recommended. First of all, make sure you are using SF2: Europe and that it is patched to the latest version. This is _vital_. Check http://www.thirdwire.com if you are unsure what the latest patch is, but the game should notify you if there is new patches out. Delete ANY PRIOR TSF MOD INSTALLATION! This is vital as items has been renamed, moved or otherwise changed. 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:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. For Windows XP Users, it is usually in My Documents. Unzip the contents of the 7zip files "TSF2" into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites. If you do not own Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic, then unzip "Unzip if you do not have SF2: NA.7z". Read the Readme included and follow it to the letter. If you own Strike Figthers 2 Expansion Pack 1, unzip Install if you have SF2 Israel Expansion Pack 1.7z". Allow any overwrites. If you own DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter, unzip "Install if you have DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter.7z". Allow any overwrites. (Please read the included Credits file. I could not do what I do without the lovely people who helped me by allowing me to use their work!)

The Second World War is long since over and the Swedish Empire has managed to stay neutral despite provocations from both sides. As The United States and Soviet Union are busy with each other, there is the time and place to settle an old score, the sworn enemy since centuries past. Now reduced to only controlling the most vital strategic asset in the Atlantic Ocean, the Swedish Navy has been given their orders - The Kingdom of Denmark must be erased from the face of the earth and control of Iceland given to the Swedish Empire - By God and Victorious arms! A/N: So I got a little bored waiting for assets for the almost complete Expansion Pack 1 and decided that I had to pay a little tribute to the fact that Sweden and Denmark has the dubious honour of holding the record of most wars fought between them. So I decided on this little AU to have an excuse to launch a major Amphibious Invasion at Island. Total time from idea to completion was about 3 days. Have fun. Installation: This Mod requires SF2, SF2: Vietnam, SF2: Europe, SF2 Israel, SF2 North Atlantic, SF2 Expansion Pack 1 and SF2 Expansion Pack 2. It has not been tested with anything less. It might work without SF2 and SF2 Israel but I really have no idea. Unzip into Mod Folder. This mod is compatible with The Scandinavian Front 2 and TSF 2: Expansion Pack 1. Notes: Any person who may be responsible for the fact that Team TSF is not allowed to use the A-Team Saab 37 Viggen may not play this modification. If any breach of this rule occurs, I am at full liberty to mete out whatever punishment I deem fit. By downloading the modification, you agree to this condition. Do check the Credits section. I cannot do what I do without the talented people who provide terrains, ground objects and aircraft for me to use.
