Hello Everyone, We are aware of a very annoying problem with Mission 01 which has been corrected and will be submitted for the next update. Our bad. Thank you, John

One last thing, I wanted to thank you for your kind words as the positive comments we receive go along away and are greatly appreciated.

Yes, I think I know what the problem is. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It didn't come up under testing for some reason. I can fix it right away but may take a couple of weeks for it to be released by E.D. John

Your very welcome. My pleasure. We really hope you enjoy the campaign.

View the changelog: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/ Version 2.70 is a comprehensive review and update of the entire campaign. Operation Agile Spear will be available free of charge to everyone who previously purchased the campaign.

Hello Guys, The updated campaign has been uploaded to E.D. some time ago and I know it's in the queue. Unfortunately, I do not know when it will become available. I just ask for your patience as this is frustrating from my end as well. Thank you for your continued support, John

Having just recently retired, LtCol Marks offers a very candid and detailed interview of his 30+ years and 7500 flight hours in the A-10C including his 16 deployments (I thought I had a lot at 11) from Desert Storm/Shield through Iraq and Afghanistan deployments. Being the highest time (most experienced) A-10 pilot in it's long history, LtCol Marks offers some VERY interesting insights into flying and employing that weapon system and I think anyone reading this forum will really enjoy this interview. At 5+ hours, this was really enjoyable and I didn't think it was long at all. It's available on You tube and also as a podcast through your preferred podcast app.

Unfortunately, no not yet. I've been told it will be in the next stable release which should (hopefully) be the 2nd week of May. We appreciate your patience.

Sorry about that. This problem was addressed as were others in version 2.70. Unfortunately, the campaign was submitted 3 weeks ago but did not make the last update. Fingers crossed for the next update. Thank you for your patience. John

Yes, unfortunately no I wasn't BUT it has been submitted and is in the queue. Yes, we know about Mission 8 and has been corrected in update 2.70. Please be patient as it won't be long now :>) Yes, we are aware of that and is a combination of both the AI logic changes and also some errors on out part. Thank you for the info and stay tuned...

In the A-10C II it's "Trim:Reset" under Flight Control category which didn't make any difference to me.

Thank you! We REALLY do appreciate what little positive feedback we get. Unfortunately we can't promise we'll be ready for the next DCS World update. But, we're working HARD to get it out as soon as we possibly can.

Yes. That's been corrected with the current update we're working on and anticipate release wwithin the next several weeks. Thanks for the input.

Just happened to me this afternoon in testing. I actually induced it on purpose to see if this condition still exists, which it does. Occurs during the flair to land at KIAS 150-170 and exists with/without trim settings neutralized which I thought might have contributed to it and with a AOA >5 degrees (on the flair).

Noted. Thank you.

Hello Fellow Pilots and Friends, After a thorough review, we have discovered some significant problems within the campaign and are endeavoring to correct them as soon as possible. Please continue to post any problems you come across here in this forum so we con focus on correctly and updating as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support, John

@PhoenixFC3 You were correct and I was wrong. After a review of most of the missions, we can see there are many problems, some significant, which requires a thorough scrub of the entire campaign. This will take some time but rest assured, we are working diligently to correct and update the campaign. Again, we are profoundly sorry for the problems you encountered and hope we will be able to create a positive playing environment for you in the future., John

@PhoenixFC3 I'm sorry you're disappointed with your experience with Operation Agile Spear and sincerely hoped it would have been more enjoyable. But, I take exception to your comments regarding the updating of the campaign. Specifically, the fact that you feel the campaign has been abandoned and not updated is troubling as you must have forgotten or ignored the eleven (11) updates the campaign has undergone since it was released, the most recent of which was no less than December of 2024, AND that those updates were in direct response to your specific criticisms. Additionally, your assertion that "good developers" would be able to "dodge" bugs and anticipate core update problems with "failsafe" triggers is simply unrealistic and screams of immaturity on your part. The HARD FACT is that the Eagle Dynamics software team has been working VERY hard to expand the capabilities of the core game - specifically the AI logic code - and that the 3rd party developers, again myself included, have had to play catch-up to each and every change to the AI behavior. Mission scenarios which worked beautifully when released, quickly become unplayable when the the AI behave differently AFTER EVERY ONE OF THESE UPDATES. Again, while I understand and share your frustration, YOU need to understand that these changes will ultimately make DCS a better gaming environment and that all the developers are working VERY hard to integrate these changes into our products. But these changes will not, and do not, happen overnight and a little forbearance on your part would go a long way. EVERY effort has been, and will continue to be, made to create an immersive and fun environment for players of Agile Spear (as do ALL of the 3rd party devs). I encourage you to read the changelogs of each DCS update so you get a better understanding of the work that goes on behind the scenes.

Happy Holidays to you and your families. John

FYI, Agile Spear version 2.60 was included in the 24 December DCS World update. Happy Holidays to you and your families. John

What mods do you have installed?

Hey Scoop, Thanks for sharing this problem. Typically, crashes are caused within the core game itself and USUALLY not from a specific mission or event. Having said that, it does happen from time to time but seeing thst this is the first time reported since the campaign went live 2 years ago I suspect the core game is the culprit BUT wil promise to look into it this week. Can't promise any fixes will make the next update as I just uploaded an updated campaign just last night but will try. John

Hello, I've just reviewed these missions and can confirm the TN #'s have been changed somehow. When or how I have no idea but I'll scrub all the missions to correct this problem. Thanks for letting me know @Seether1980.
