Fred00 Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 So I'm in Visual mode and I have designated a point with the HUD TD box, I press TMS up to ground stabilize. I slew the Maverick onto the target, lock it and fire. How do I get the next Maverick to slew directly to where the HUD TD box is? If I press TMS aft the TD box is boresighted and I have to start over again. If I'm having several targets in the same spot it would be handy to be able to slew consecutive Mavericks to the same spot.
Topo Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Is the maverick in Pre, vis or bore mode? EDIT nevermind, didn't read Vis mode. Edited February 26, 2021 by Topo

It will be ground stabillised as long as the tgt remains in the seeker FOV gimbal limits. If you fly through the tgt area, you’ll need to reacquire the tgt [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

TobiasA Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 As far as I know, you can't and the wisest choice is carrying a targeting pod and use this to lock your mavs. Because the TGP will stay right were it is, and you can handoff your mavs then one after another.
VampireNZ Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Have you tried just selecting HUD as SOI with DMS up after firing then TMS up again to drop back down to the next Mav WPN screen using the same TD box position?, or does the TD box re-set doing it that way as well? If DMS up doesn't work, try switching to MRM then cancel back to A-G again as per the method from 'that other sim' to set SOI as HUD without needing TMS down. Prior to designating a target, the TD box is caged about the FPM. The TD box can be positioned on the target either by manoeuvring the aircraft or with the cursor switch. The target is designated by positioning the TMS up. Designating the target ground stabilises the TD box on or near the target and automatically moves the SOI to the MFD WPN format. Target rejection should be commanded by manually selecting the HUD as the SOI with DMS up and positioning the TMS down. Currently you need to switch master mode (for example to MSL OVRD or DGFT) and then back to A-G to return SOI to the HUD. Edit: But yes taking a TPOD and using PRE is the best way to do it...
