need track replay Maverick boresight procedure not working

[Chesster]

Hi all,

I've been having problems boresighting the Mavericks with the TGP for a while in the F-16.
The TGP and Maverick seeker simply won't align, which makes it useless in PRE mode.

The idea behind PRE mode, I presume, is to use the TGP's better optics to locate and lock targets that are difficult at max range for the mavericks seeker to distinguish.

The way it manifests itself, is that after setting the TGP in point track, then making WPN SOI, slewing the maverick seeker to the same location. TMS up to lock, and then hit BRSGT button on the MPD. Everything seems fine. But when I uncage the maverick afterwards you can see the seeker jumps back to a point somewhat off from the target. 

I'm of course open to the fact that I may be doing it wrong, but I've followed the exact same procedures that several have posted on youtube. No luck for me.

Is this a bug, or is the AGM-65 PRE mode not really useful ?

Best rgds

Hi 

I only use mavericks in Pre mode with 80% success.

Usually I have problems when I did not boresight using a good target, or when I try and force correlate lobbing at 20nm
