I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that I've uploaded free TrackIR 5 Mount files for 3D printing. If you've ever lost the base for Track IR you'll know what I'm talking about. It's a small but necessary part for the TrackIR emitter unit which is easy to lose but hard to find.
They want, I think, $25.00 USD for a replacement if you can find one. Well, I've designed one and uploaded it to DCS User Files and is free to a good home. It's my thanks to all of you who've taken a chance with Agile Spear:

This got my attention only because I had a similar setup with an MP3 player hooked up to my headset Clarke box but I played a Pink Floyd mix instead on my last two deployments.
Worked really well until I got a firm talking to by the AC after one flight. Apparently it would bleed through into the intercomm when any of the backseaters (me included) would key to talk. I thought I had it filtered but appraently not. Was very cool while it lasted.

Hi Blackadder 55,
Thanks for trying out our campaign. Mission 3 doesn't have a JTAC but you will get a message when you've suffificiently cleared out the threats.
Try it again.
Good luck. All the best.
You can call me John.

You're partially correct. Its definitley not a parking brake. The emergency brake handle does not dump hydraulic pressure into the left hydraulic system like you said, it reroutes pressure from the right side, or the emergency brake accumulator. Hydraulic pressure from the right side charges the emergency brake accumulator when the #2 (right) engine driven hydraulic pump pressurizes the right system. Under normal conditions the left hydraulic system provides all hydraulic pressure to operate the wheel brakes.
The emergency brake handle is used in the event of the aircraft losing normal braking due to a loss of left side hydraulic pressure (i.e. left engine/hydraulic pump not operating, hydraulic leak, damage to the left system, etc...). If the emergency brake handle is pulled and the right hydraulic system is operational, the wheel brakes will use right hydraulic pressure and the pilot wil have unlimited wheel braking (but not nosewheel steering or anti-skid). With the emergency brake handle pulled and no right side hydraulics are available, the wheel brakes will use the pressure in the emergency accumulator which has enough pressure to give the pilot five full applications of the brakes. During normal operations the emergency brake handle should be pushed in. The only time it should be pulled out during normal ground ops is if the pilot had to start the right engine first for some reason, then you'd want the emergency brake handle pulled so you can use the brakes with right side hydraulics before the left engine and associated hydraulic pump is started... Short of wierd maintenance issues, I'm not sure why a pilot would start the right engine first. Normal procedures is engine #1 then #2.
Wow, just wow. Former maintainer I'm guessing?

I'm sure this has been covered but I just can't find it:
Specifically, all red Air Defense units cannot (do not) target Allied air units under Advanced Actions / Triggered Actions > Perform Task > Attack Group. HOWEVER they can/do target ground units.
Is it me - am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I just can't believe this hasn't been discussed before now.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Hi, I like to let you know that mission 3 is broken in the current DCS World version DCS 2.7.18.30765 - 05.10.2022
I find it strange that mission3 is not updated.
I have downloaded your files (first post here) and they work fine for me.
Thank you!
The Mission 3 that is available now has been updated last week.
Thank you.

Thanks, i find your reactivity is excellent!!!
I'm very happy you like the campaign. I worked hard to make it fun but also challenging. Thanks for the great feedback and stayed tuned for the further adventures of Lt. Col (he's been promoted) "Took" Key in Syria.

Cool and thanks. Could you made it free to DL like i do sometimes with baltic dragon to test some beta !?
i love the campaign, I'm in mission 4 but there is NO GROUND SERVICE! So, for ammo, i use the brief launcher configurator, but i scramble with all the heavy ammo !
I did make it available - see the first post in this thread.

I've updated the free-to-try Mission 3 with a few changes above. The campaign will include the updated Mission 3 when available.

HI @King39
As of today, Mission 3 is broken. To be more specific, she completes herself quickly, even if we speed the starting of the jet..........The problem is that
Colt flight, SEAD one, is too efficient.
I'm not sure I understand. You're saying that Colt Flight and SEAD Flight are killing the enemy too quickly and ending the mission?
Are you using DCS World stable or a Beta version?
-
Yes, this is occurring which has been confirmed by a Time magazine report. However, both the Ukrainians and US officials have agreed that the A-10 is not the platform they really need so they won't be getting them.

Thanks, Moron certification confirmed(me not you). I dunno why I thought this was Tank Killer only, maybe the trailers or something. Anyway, thanks again.
No worries. Hope you enjoy it. Have fun.

I'm cross posting this interesting update regarding the A-10C's current upgrade path to maintain relevancy post-Iraq/Afghanistan:

Hello Fellow A-10C Pilots,
I hope everyone is well and have avoided Covid. I just wanted everyone to know that a large update to Agile Spear was released with the last DCS World (Stable) release. It solves most, if not all, the bugs people have been experiencing and will be available to everyone who purchased the original campaign.
One caveat is that if you do install the new update it will reset any progress you made in the previous installation and you will have to start the campaign from the beginning. I have no control over this as this is the way DCS World updates.
My best to you and your families and thanks again for your support.
John Schiller

Unfortunately, the AI SEAD typically aren't very good and generally can't be relied upon to provide any assist. However, the anti-air for this mission aren't very good either as long as you 1. maintain your altitude and 2. maintain your distance.
The loadout for this mission gives you 4 AGM-65D, Mavericks, which give you a 10 mile standoff and also Hydra-70 M282's which are excellent short-range missiles which give you a 5 mile standoff. If used effectively, you'll never come close to getting shot down.
Good luck and (most importantly) have fun!

Looking at the changelog for today's OB patch 2.7.15.26783, it's still not there.
Yeah, I have to take the blame this time. I got slammed at work and wasn't able to complete all of the updates/changes I needed to make in time.
Thanks for hanging in there.

Thanks, Yurgon.
Hopefully, the updated campaign will be included in the next DCS World release.
-
No. Sorry. It didn't but it should be in the next one. Thanks for your patience.

I had the same issues, a few days ago. The messages on the screen say to use the standard flight comms option, not the special F10 option, so maybe that will help.
I'm pretty sure I corrected this problem with not being able to communicate with Pig 2 and/or Kobuleti Tower.
QuoteRegardless, when I landed, she crashed. Or at least I think she did. I could see her green circle on the HMD on my starboard engine as I descended, but right after touchdown I looked back and there was no circle. She was also not visible via F2.
I'm pretty sure this been fixed as well (per the last update).
Just waiting for ED to upload the corrected missions.

Hello Fellow A-10 Pilots,
I know that Mission 3 has created headaches for a number of people. I'm pretty sure I've fixed the problem(s) and I've decided to offer it gratis for download via Google Drive at:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/muyn8m3hpmgka4s/AAD5nZRvn8qBW8ACK_7CxgE3a?dl=0
I've included the A-10C and A-10C II Tank Killer versions so everyone can fly it.
Download one of the .miz files and place it in your \Users\Your_Name\Saved Games\DCS\Missions folder.
Then, start DCS World, select Missions and then start the mission.
PLEASE let me know if you have any problems with it.
Yours,
John

OK, I'll look at it. This could be a result of the updated AI aircraft ED has been releasing.
