MAVERICK no more slaved to the TD BOX when TMS Down

In VIS mode :

- Slew the TD box inside the HUD on the ground

- Press TMS UP, the TD box is now ground stabilized and the Maverick (Circle) is slaved to the TD box.

- With WPN page SOI, slew the Maverick outside the TD box

- Press TMS to try to lock. The succes of the lock doesn't matter

- Press TMS down. The Maverick (and the circle) return to the TD box. BUT no more ground stabilized or slaved to the TD box.

MAV no more slaved to the TD BOX.trk

Perhaps some steps are missing there. After you pressed TMS up to ground stabilize the TD box. Switch SOI to weapon page and refine targeting via cursor. This is how its supposed to work, in VIS mode.

Say, you lock the wrong thing and have to break lock. Should the missile still be ground stabilized to the td box or not? Cuz currently it isnt, and you have to reset the whole process starting with HUD SOI etc

Once you ground stabilized the td box (hud soi) you control the wpn seeker (wpn soi). If by mistake you have locked the wrong target, keep wpn page soi tms aft and try again, or make HUD soi and slew td box where you want it, than wpn soi etc. If your td box completely out of place than, again HUD soi tms aft to set back to FPM, and try again.

Visual mode is good only for Off-boresight designations with hmcs, you may argue. Otherwise i would use the bore mode. Keep it simple no need to mess around with SOI.

no, it will only undo what you had previously targeted

It's the same after rifling one off too, it slaves to bore instead of vis and vis has to be redone. This is not the case when using the TGP or markpoints, so the only current workaround is to use a markpoint instead of vis. Don't think it's supposed to be like that for obvious reasons. These systems are designed under the presumption that time is critical, but it's not specifically documented anywhere.

If TMS aft returns missile slave to TD LOS then it should be slaved to TD LOS. You're saying that it instantaneously returns to TD LOS but drifts away after?

Exactly, the missile is space stabilised and not ground stabilised on the TD box
