The Serpents Head is a six mission F18C Campaign. It starts in Nevada and ends in the Caucasus region, so both maps are required. (I have issued a version just in the Caucasus Map area for those of you without the Nevada Map). The campaign is story line based and follows the progress of “Ford” (yourself) and his involvement in a new conflict in the Caucasus Region. As in 2008 this is once again in the beleaguered area of Ossetia and Gori. This conflict is gathering pace at an alarming rate such that the West have sent in a multinational force to the Black Sea in the form of some ground forces but primarily a naval fleet with the USS John C Stennis at its heart. We join “Ford” during his last flight over Nevada, before he leaves first light.
(THE FOLLOW UP "THE SERPENT'S HEAD 2 CAMPAIGN" IS NOW AVAILABLE FROM DCS. It continues "Fords" story and consists of 10 missions all fully voiced by actors. It  is VR friendly and there is also an option for easy A2A)

Update April 24: Changed to zip files.  
This Reduced Version of "The Serpents Head" is a five mission F18C Campaign. It is only to be used if you do not have the Nevada Map. If you do you should use the full version. The Campaign is story line based and follows the progress of “Ford” (yourself) and his involvement in a new conflict in the Caucasus Region. As in 2008 this is once again in the beleaguered area of Ossetia and Gori. This conflict is gathering pace at an alarming rate such that the West have sent in a multinational force to the Black Sea in the form of some ground forces but primarily a naval fleet with the USS John C Stennis at its heart. We join “Ford” on the way to the Stennis just after completing an aerial refuel 154 miles from the carrier.

A livery depicting the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning (CV-16).

INSTALLATION: Go to DCS World>Bazar>Liveries>CV_1143_5 and put the downloaded livery in the CV_1143_5 folder.
If the CV_1143_5 folder doesn't exist, simply create a new folder and call it CV_1143_5. Then put the downloaded livery into it and it will load up the skin for you use inside the mission editor.

F/A-18C Hornet skin in WWII TBF-1C historical livery.

This is almost complete rework of the Kuznetsov to better reflect what she looks like after her retrofit. (The deck textures & weathering are going to be changed at some point as it doesn't look that great)

Unzip the zipped file and then place the "kuznecow" folder into your \DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\Liveries\ folder.
This method makes it pass integrity check.

To select the livery, you will need to select the unit int the mission editor and do the same steps as you would to change an aircraft livery.

*Weathering is more difficult than expected, not sure when I'll finish it.

This is a series of fifteen Static Templates to provide a Carrier Fleet for the Blue Coalition. There are three for the Stennis and three for each unit of the SuperCarrier Module, one for each Modern Map: Caucasus, Persian Gulf and Syria.

I have placed a lot of static aircrafts and helos while leaving the catapults and landing strip empty, but they are easily deleted if you need more deck space.

This is a series of six Static Templates to provide a Carrier Fleet for the Red Coalition based on a Kuznetsov unit. Three are for the free Kuznetsov, while the other three are for the SuperCarrier version; one Template for each of the Modern Maps: Caucasus, Persian Gulf and Syria:

I make use of the crew figures that the SuperCarrier modules provides for free, in order to have a more populated and alive carrier deck (even if the crew uniforms are not really correct for a Russian unit). For this to work, you need to have USAF Aggressors on the Red coalition:

I have placed a lot of static aircrafts and helos while leaving the catapults and landing strip empty, but they are easily deleted if you need more deck space.

These are static object templates for the classic Kutz. The scripts are based off of RedKite's ones.

Please have a look at his video for instruction on usage.

Kutz_Launch is a single file to "prepare" for launch operations.
Kutz_Recover is a single file to prepare for recover operations

ps: give the man a follow on youtube (it's worth it)

This is a practice mission for the Case III launch and recovery.
