have not been flying hornet for a time,today i do a simply train mission，but i have some problem.

1, can not change TGP FOV by HOSTAS when select AGM65

2,the MAV is in range but i can not launch,there is always a cross on HUD'S MAV

3,AGM65 can not slave to TGP,I have done as wags' video,select AGM65,sensor switch lesft,uncanged,then sensor switch right,select the target TDC press,BUT nothing happened to MAV,the MAV page shows the AGM65 still search, in range. I can't launch the MAV.

Hi

 

please ensure you are firing the laser with the TGP.

 

Let us know if it helps

OK, i forgot the laser(A10C's habbits)，but still can not change TGP FOV by press RAID button short,or change the ccd by press RAID button long when select AGM65

If a Maverick (MAV or MAVF) is selected, the RAID/FLIR FOV button priority is given to the MAV/IMAV page, regardless of where TDC priority (SOI) is assigned.

As for the procedure to slave, it seems like you're doing it right, but as BN says, the AGM-65E (designated as MAV in the Stores page) requires a laser designation and you need to set up the laser code using the UFC option in the Stores page->Press the UFC button 3 to get the : symbol->input the laser code that the seeker should look for->Enter.

The AGM-65F should slave without issues, since it uses an IR seeker.

THANKS A LOT, I have understood.

Also, the necessity to uncage the Maverick before designating a target with the TGP is not the correct behavior in DCS. You can designate the target via the TPOD, and the Maverick seeker head will uncage itself and slew. **Harker gave good advice for your question already, so won’t expand any further on that.

Agreed. That's a new thing though, I think it got bugged somewhere in the last couple of updates. It used to work correctly before.
