Mirage2425 Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I've been air starting the Viper lately in the interest of time and have been practicing with Mavericks. Today I decided to ramp start instead and when I went to boresight the Mavericks the option was missing on the WPN page. I hit the OSB where it should have been anyway but was unable to hand off anything (cross expanded as if out of range or too far off boresight). I'm assuming it was due to the inability to boresight the Mav's. Perhaps a bug been introduced in recent patches?
Badlego Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 The Boresight option only appears when the maverick is locking something. If you use Area-Track Lock you need to press TMS Left short first and then the boresight option also appears

Whem I was boresighting the Mav didn't seem to lock when all parameters for a firing solution were met. I must be doing something wrong. I'll work on it until I figure it out Edited February 10, 2021 by Mirage2425
Mirage2425 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Posted February 11, 2021 It was my fault. It had been a while since I had boresighted the Mav and I put the handoff mode in auto. In retrospect it was stupid, since the mav isn't looking where the TGP is the mav will never lock. I needed to be in manual mode, switch SOI to the WPN page, move the crosshairs over the same target on the TGP, TMS up and boresight. I should have watched Wags video again before I posted. Thanks for the help!
