Maverick Steer Point Targeting without TGP?

[AngryViper.101]

Good day

Is it possible to use a Maverick to point to a steer point, without using the TGP handoff?

Yes, the AGM-65 should look at whatever the SPI is when set to PRE? mode.

Hi

That is what i tried but the AGM-65 video feed does not move to the steerpoint when i ICP 4 and pick a steer point

Did you uncage the missile?
Gosh, it's been a while.  Will do a flight now myself to check, in case no one else with a fresher memory drops in before

I've noticed the missile doesn't slave all the time when it should. Cycle dogfight switch and it will return to slave as expected.

What I quickly just did now:

- Select steerpoint and my Mav was already looking there in PRE mode.
- Switched to another steerpoint, Mav did not move.
- TMS down: Mav seeker moves to new steerpoint
- Switched back to target steerpoint > TMS down > Mav is looking there again
- Fine tune, TMS up to lock and fire once within constraints.

No need to uncage here it seems.  Must be a left over thing I have from other aircraft / sim.

Thank you MUD, TMS down did the trick!
