I installed the waterfront mods but it seems there still something missing. I get this error:

Will not deliver to US (where the OP is)

My favorite is The Enemy Within

It should reset when you set flaps to AUTO.

You probably have already checked this but you not only need to be close to the glide slope but also aligned horizontally along the extended centerline of the angled deck. Otherwise you won't see the ball. That said, I find the ball very hard to see, even when it's there. I have to zoom in real close. Maybe it depends on the graphics settings.

I think the only workaround is to increase the "Trees Visibility" in the System options, but it may affect your frame rate. You just have to try.

Do you mean how to switch the view? I think F9 is the ship view. You can cycle similar to F2 or F7.

Yes, the instant action missions are in DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Missions\QuickStartin your install directory. You can copy them to your "Saved Games" folder and modify in mission editor.

Right, you have to use the paddle switch to completely disengage it. It is not clear to me though, what does the autopilot really do when it is still engaged but none of the modes are selected.

Press 'C' (Cage/Uncage button on throttle)

This may not account for all of the difference, but 5 bombs every 200ft is only 800ft, not 1000ft. :)

When autopilot is on but no specific mode is selected, DDI displays "A/P". Paddle switch turns autopilot off and "A/P" disappears. I have never seen "AUTO PILOT" message, this could be something else (like a warning that autopilot is inoperative?).

No, the current Stennis comes free with base DCS World. You don't need F/A-18.

Use the paddle switch on the stick or the 'A' key.

Not sure how this happened to you, but you seem to be running the old updater, without support for delta patches. The new updater is version 2.8.1.58.

I extracted the subtitles (attached) from the mission file but they are not in order and not easy to sort automatically because of continuation lines. They do have sequence numbers which you can use to sort by hand if you like. cold-start-subtitles.txt

Did you install DCS in "Program Files"? If so, you probably don't have write permissions. You can try running DCS as Administrator or better yet copy the mission to your "Saved Games" directory and modify it there. This way it won't be overwritten on the next update.

I like the briefing maps and voice overs. Of course I don't speak Chinese but it's great for immersion. I wish AWACS could be in Chinese too (instead of Russian) but probably there is not much that can be done about it. I am playing the English version (need the subtitles...) but what language does AWACS speak in the Chinese version?

No problem sixm:). The campaign is fun anyway and it's much appreciated!

No, that's not it. I am aware of the "Close" vs "End Mission" difference, but in this case not only the progress is lost but in addition it drops me back to previous mission. For example, after I succeed in mission 1, I advance to mission 2. Then if I die in mission 2, my score will be 0 like in the attached screenshot. 0 means go back to previous stage, so I have to re-fly mission 1. From the User's Manual (Campaign Builder section): So, in sequential campaign, a mission should have a score of 50 on failure and more than 50 on success. Anything less than 50 will result in going backwards, so should never be used (in a sequential campaign).

So the new super tankers are sinkable! (naturally the first thing I tested :)) There is no damage model or score points or even "hit" events. But, if they get enough hits, they sink.

You're right, I didn't notice that the link has changed and was using the old one. Sorry for the noise.

I only managed two missions so far (not much time to fly) and it's been a lot of fun but one thing that is kind of frustrating is that if you fail a mission it makes you re-do the previous mission. I don't mind re-doing the failed missions until successful but I would prefer that a failure would not drop me to the previous stage.
