The 300 mile ocean crossing from the mainland can take about twenty minutes, but with time acceleration and action skip features in SF2, there isn’t much purpose to just droning along for half an hour. The campaigns can be flown from the perspective of the UK or Argentina and the included scenery does a good job of representing the conflict area with flights originating from bases in the islands, from carriers, and from land bases in Argentina. Detailed installation instructions are provided on the file download page and be aware that SF2 North Atlantic owners can use a few of the extra features such as carrier battle groups and new mission types and campaigns. As a site owner, I can appreciate the costs involved with standing up and running a site. Whenever the bug to fly SF2 strikes me, and I head over to visit their site, I try to buy at least a monthly membership as I ping them with questions and download their files. The package can be found residing with our friends over at – but a quick note to encourage you to DONATE to their cause. The package weighs in at around 387MB and decompresses to a sizable footprint of 2.75 GB! Included are hundreds of objects, aircraft, helicopters, ships, structures, weapons, terrain – you name it. Bringing it all together under one package is equally impressive.
The amount of work that has gone into this package by dozens of artists and modelers is just incredible. The history of the Falklands War has always fascinated me, so I’m amazed that it has taken me this long to finally load up and fly the awesome campaign created for Strike Fighters by Kesselbrut, and further modified and updated by eburger68 for Strike Fighters 2.
We take a look at a very cool add-on campaign for Strike Fighters 2 that lets us fly for the British or Argentines in a pitched battle for control of the Falklands…
