It includes exclusive aircraft like the SAAB J35 Draken with a realistic "cobra turn" flight model and Soviet naval strike missions against the Vestfjorden. The SFI team never released this to the public; it remains an exclusive club download.

Some of these aren’t on the usual download mirrors anymore. This creates a high barrier to entry, but
The original WOE campaign was static; you selected a mission and flew it. The Iron Curtain exclusive mod is a background application that runs alongside WOE. It simulates the entire Central Front in real-time. If you choose to skip a mission, the front lines shift. If you destroy a bridge on your sortie, the supply route for the enemy cuts off three missions later. This mod is exclusive because it requires a unique serial key generated by the developer to prevent server overload.
