Apparently it was not correct and ED changed it. Now you have to select MAN with dobber switch and press 0/M-SEL to switch to AUTO.

Hey @Keith Briscoe My answer to your question is when I fly I try to be prepared as much as possible for the situation ahead. When I fly Viper or Hornet for example I set up my screens, countermeasures, ECM, bombs codes etc ahead of time, on the ramp or while flying to target destination so when I get there I am ready for whatever situation occurs with just one button click. And if I need to mouse click something it is usually one click and my hands are back on the stick. After all that's how they do it in real life, they have preparation before they even get into cockpit with briefings etc, then they set everything up while waiting to take off. That is how we should do it too, prepare for the mission then go do the mission ready. That way most of the time you won't even need to mouse click anything. Hope this helps.

Hi @JeffWithBike I have no problems with the crosshair in MT, I suggest to remove all mods if you have any, and then to repair and cleanup and try again.

Hi, probably because it happens only to you . I did a test and it works fine, here is my track: Caopy spider lock.trk It is probably user error, check your binding again, remove all mods and do repair.

That article is from 2022, our F-16 is from 2007 (15 years apart) and Mavericks? who knows which year are they based on. The difference in technology now and then is huge. Then in that article they talk about planets and stars where distances are huge beyond our comprehension, we are talking about something else here, much closer and limited by the tech of that time (year 2007). How is movement affecting boresighting Mav, since boresight it is done instantly when you press the button. It is not a scan of few seconds so movement should affect it. So I ask you again to provide that, as you pointed out simple math, to ED so they can see if they made an error.

Can you give us an example in math on how to negate the effect? You can do it al short as 1 mile, but I find the best distance to be 4+ miles. The problem (in real life) in 2007 was that processors back then were not so great as they are today and jets still needed tremendous amount of calculations done to be able to deliver such weapons, communicate with link16, know what their position is in time and space etc etc. So I guess there wasn't much computing power left extra calculations. Sorry but all we can see from your text is that you are angry that you have to do in air Maverick alignment. This is a sim and simmers want accurate representation, they want all the problems that were there in real life as well as the goodies. If that means aligning Mavs in the air they yeah lets have that. On the other hand if you can provide math or have evidence that this was done differently please provide it cause after all we want accurate representation.

Do QRF jets even have AG weapons loaded? I thought they only have air to air loadout.

No you don't have to boresight since it is only use for aligning TGP seeker with Maverick seeker. In VIS mode you are only bringing you HUD TD BOX to an area of where the target might be then you fine tune maverick seeker to acquire target lock. You won't be doing target acquire with HUD TD BOX, it is only used to place the SPI in the approximate target area. It is much more accurate if you do the boresight in air at approximately 5 to 7nm distance from target. I usually do it on my way to target area on some small building I find on the way or a car etc.

Hello, I have no problems with Mav, we dont know if you did hot or cold start and is Maverick properly bersighted. Anyway try to reproduce and post a short track.

You too

No, for some reason my game doesn't see it. Same game version too.

No need, repair does just that, it check the files and brings them to default.

No idea why I can't find the track then:/ Then it looks like you didn't do anything wrong. Any mods? maybe they are the reason, also I would do repair and cleanup.

Hello, No. Yes. I cant find your track when I load up my game so I assume you did not update so do that first. Stable Version: DCS 2.8.7.42718 Open Beta Public testing build: DCS Open Beta 2.8.8.43704 I assume you did not set STPT elevation in mission editor that is why the STPT is up in the air rather than on the target, check that first. Easy way to do it is jut to set elevation to 0 and mission editor will set correct elevation for you.

Have you ran a repair and cleanup? Remove mods also, after that try again.

I found it best to align at 6nm distance while in the air, later on I have no issues with Maverick.

Hello, What you need to do is set your power switch to Main Power and use Start 2 then wait for the SEC light to go off on the caution panel, and then advance throttle to idle. Cause if it doesn't start with Start 1 (which means you spent one hydraulic accumulator to start, giving you 2 attempts) it wont start the second time, so it is always better to use Start 2. Try it like this, I'm sure it will start.

One important note, if you are flying off target and searching for new target with TGP, when you find the target and then turn towards it, you should move the TGP a little bit and then back on target so that the Mav seeker centers on TGPs SPI. Cause Mav crosshair sometimes is off when maneuvering.

Had this happen today, after de-slaving George wouldn't find targets anymore and I couldn't SAFE weapons. The track is long so... It happened after I commanded him off target and to search for new targets few times.

I doesn't work that way, it takes time to fix bugs, they don't get fixed as soon as they are reported, sometimes its months. You can still use F-16 tho, just work your was around those numbers for now.

It is reported here: I'd like to see it fixed too.

You can always trim with mouse, using trim wheels on the back left panel.

Both work but Chuck's Guide says SIM

I know that when alignment is flashing, stored alignment, and aircraft starts moving it will switch to Nav even tho the knob is still set to Stored Alignment, but never tried to stop to see if it continues alignment.

It could but it is not for the same aircraft.
