Interesting, this is the kind of campaign that I always dreamed of for ArmA (campaign playable as a pilot)!
I do have one question: Is this campaign playable in Co-Op?
i like it so far but in the first mission i cant seem to find the squirel helicopter. I fly all over the marker but nothing appears on radar
You have to look harder. It is a Civilian squirrel with Molation Officer onboard. You actually can target it by zooming. You will find it easier if you are hugging the ground in the F/A-18. Make sure you get high again however to avoid Molation AA defences after you get it. You need to make it a priority target because it escapes quite easily otherwise.

Mission 1: Air superiority. I make all the objectives(except the squirel one) and they command my to return to Nimitz. I return to Nimitz, nothing happens. Should the mission finish or do i have to talk to someone or something?

Can you see an icon toggling red and white on the Nimitz deck? It should be about at the location of where you stop using the arrestor cables toward the front of the Nimitz. Anyway, when you are near it you get a message to turn off your engine to end the mission.
Turn off the aircraft engine and the mission will end. You have to be near the marker though.

How do I beat the first mission? None of the weapons on my jet target the Anti Air radar and I get shot down in seconds
Thanks

p.s Great cutscene, but the F-18 explodes and falls into the water
In missions 3-4 so far, I keep getting hit by an enemy MiG before I can even take off, which I would think is highly unrealistic that a carrier would let an enemy get anywhere near it. It seems to be sporadic (the one time I came to the deck prepared with a stinger, nothing showed up!). Is there anyway to keep them from attacking so soon?
@Warrior_of_Arma
Make sure you active the avionics function on the aircraft before takeoff. While in the air, select the GPS/INS function and click on the map where the radar is. Then target it with the JDAM. You'll need to do this for other non selectable targets especially in the following missions.

Good point ssi. I was aware it was possible that this could happen, but didn't think it happened often enough for it to be a problem. I will implement a workaround for the issue in the next version.
The other thing @Warrior_of_Arma is talking about is addon related. I don't believe I can do to much about it.

Okay, thanks ssi. I guess I should have researched that a bit more closely.
@Rough Knight
The only addons I am using are the ones required for the campaign. I don't know if everyone has this problem, but I just figured I should let you know. It's not major anyway.
Well dont know if Its just on my end, but everytime I try to start the mission...it freezes! Tried lots of different methods but no luck so far. Will keep trying cause I really want to try this! The only MOD I am not running is WarFX Blastcore. Hope I can get it up soon though! Looks killer!!

Not using WarFx won't be the reason its not working. Perhaps one of your mods is not the latest version. Do you get any error messages. Also check your ArmaOA log in "application data" it may give a clue as to what the problem is. Make sure you also have the addons for the F18 [see the readme], are you using GLT_Missilebox and @CBA?

@Rough Knight
No I don't get any error messages, just a frozen screen. It has the "intro" and "air superiority" missions to continue from, even though I haven't seen them since it freezes. Starting from either of those freezes to. I checked the app data, but no help there. Ill figure it out though!! Let you know when I do. Thanks for the help!!
Just wanted to let you know I got it to work. Very cool. However on the first mission after shooting down the squirrel it says "Objective Complete" then I blow up for no apparent reason. Tried it about 4 times and same thing happens every time. Guess im not ment to enjoy this!

Sounds like you are getting nailed by one of the MIG's from the airfield. When you attack the Molations will try scrambe their fighter jets and they are deadly. They should be you first priority. Watch out for the feedback freom Nimitz's radar or your wingman as they will notify you of the threat, it can be easily missed however. Other than that I have no idea why you would be exploding. Hope that helps. Thanks Rough Knight
Description:
Duala is offically in a state of civil war. The Duala Revolution is an ongoing armed conflict in the North African state of Duala being fought between forces loyal to Colonel Mumma Gotdafti and his regime and those seeking to despose of him.
The situation began on 15 February 2011 as a series of peaceful protests were met with military force by the Gotdafti regime. The protests escalated into an uprising that spread across the country. The forces opposing Gotdafti established a movement named the National Transitional Council [NTC] whose stated goal was to overthrow the Gotdafti-led government and hold democratic elections.
The civil war rapidly esculated as the Gotdafti loyalists applied further force in an attempt to crush the rebellion of the NTC. NATO forces have alligned themselves with the NTC and provide support of the restricted Fly Zone over Duala.
The US carrier Nimitz based off the East Duala coast will provide air-support for the civilian populated NTC forces, striking deep into GotDafti held territory at various cummunications and other military targets. Any ground operations conducted by the UN alliance must be strictly confidential, otherwise risking a huge uprising from the rest of the Arab world.
You will play as a pilot flying various aircraft and helicopters from USS Nimitz in aid of our campiagn in support of the NTC and Dualan civilians. Parts of the campaign will also focus on covert operations from the US Marines operating from USS Nimitz.
Features:
* Fictional campaign based roughly on the recent Libyan conflict.
* Starring Col.Aziz as Col. Mumma Gotdafti.
* 13 Missions based on Nimitz Air\Ground operations.
* 9 Flying missions (a number of which auto-teamswitch into ground troops for particular tasks in the mission), 4 dedicated Infantry missions.
* Many custom scripts for various mission functions.
Installation:
Extract the .pbo file(s) to your ArmA2 \ Campaigns folder.
Media:
Known issues:
* Version 1.13 and up is only compatible with @Mar_2MAW v2.1 [Older versions of Meatball0311's F/A-18 will not work].
* Version 1.13 and below require @mar_inf_marines [An older version of @mar_MARSOC by Meatball0311].
* Workaround for missing GPS/INS system in the avionics menu until it is implemented again in a future F/A-18 version by Meatball\Pharohx.
* As pointed out to me by Wiki, for a player pilot there is no incoming missile warning [I advise to make enemy aircraft #1 priority].
* AI flying the F18 don't shoot flares by default. I have written a script to make them do this for incoming misiles.
* Player no longer has flares since @Mar_2MAW v2.1. Optional @MMA fixes this.
* Co-Pilot recruiting tweaks required. Keep falling off Nimitz. Eventually they will board your aircraft. Implemented scripts to place them back on deck.

Interesting, this is the kind of campaign that I always dreamed of for ArmA (campaign playable as a pilot)!
I do have one question: Is this campaign playable in Co-Op?
No unfortunately. Some of the missions would be far to easy in Co-Op. This has been primarily designed as a singleplayer campaign.
I hope you enjoy it.
