This is the Su-33 Sea Dragon Campaign (Works with the Su-33 PFM enhancement) that comes with the game by default, that has many fixes applied to make missions work as originally intended.
Disclaimer
----------
These missions are all Eagle Dynamics original work, but over the course of time, patches, and programming errors have arisen to break the missions, so I have corrected them as best I can and to make them a little more realistic and to work properly.
Installing the replacement Updates
----------------------------------
- Copy the Mods directory from the Downloaded ZIP file into your ..\DCS World\ directory and overwrite all files.
