[h3]DCS: A-10C Operation Agile Spear Campaign by Combat King Simulations[/h3]
Campaign was updated to version 2.3

All Missions - Top down review and many bugs squashed big and small. Many thanks to Pyrocumulous! His help was instrumental.
All missions - radio frequencies better coordinated for all aircraft in the strike package
All missions - updated Datalink connections for all like aircraft.
All missions - changed all displayed messages to Clearview
All missions - updated to new F10 menu system which adds new options for the player to manage thier simulation's environment. Thanks Gareth Magnall https://www.youtube.com/@Pukin-Dog
All missions - Wingmen (Pig-2, 3 & 4) changed over to a seperate group for more tasking flexibility. Thanks B.D.
All missions - added the option of a Practice Sortie to each mission. This will allow the mission pilot to exit the primary mission, fly a practice sortie with the same loadout as the primary mission, and then reenter the primary mission. The mission pilot can fly and practice any technique/profile, rearm and refuel as desired, and then re-enter the primary mission when ready.
All missions - now have the ability to accelerate time (fast forward between waypoints) without missing any mission critical inputs or messages. Thanks Sedlo.
All missions - datacards use different font/colors for easier reading.
All missions - end of mission music added.
