reported AGM-65 boresight off

[Furiz]

So when I jump in the plane in air, Maverick is boresighted automatic,

but when I try to boresight again it it is not boresighted anymore, Mav seeker is now looking off target.

In air and cold start tests:

Yesterday evening encountered same problems. Cold start, MP, 6xAGM65H. In Air boresighting was possible but when you TMS aft to see how aligned it is the mav goes in another place (a lot away from the point). So unusable.
At ground things appears to be more consistent, but, again too much parallax, and theres something weird with Force Correlate, when i do it the mav locks in a different point. More the parallax you have and more this happens.

I also encountered the same problem. Auto hand off is impossible now due to this issue.

Encountered the same problem. After boresighting on the ground the seeker was a little bit off, enough for auto hand off to be useless and the need to manually slew a bit. When trying to correct that by boresighting in the air, the seeker is WAY off...

NOTE: The aircraft should be in the GND JETT ANABLE in order to have BGST.

****Maverick does not BGST in the ground .****

When aircraft on the ground and GND JETT ANABLE NOT SELECTED.

Steps

1. TGP AUTO e.g left MFD

2. Master ARM

3. MAV right MFD PRE 3. AGM-65 MAVERICK-20221217-194416.trk

4.TGP point Track 

5. SOI MAV lock the cross ( be in mind the the cross should be solid ,right now the cross does not be solid in any object that lock in the ground)

6. BGST  push button not highlighted.

Yeah, same here.

Longer track because I wasn't planning to upload it, but having issues with boresighted mavs as well. 

Synopsis: 

- Hot start on the ground at Kobuleti with 2x Mav Ds and 2x Mav Hs.

- Did boresight successfully with MA SIM and GND JETT enabled. 

- Mav Ds were pointed far enough away from the TGP that auto handoff didn't work. Had to manually slew to lock and fire. 

- Mav Hs, interestingly, looked dead on target with the TGP, but the auto handoff was still unsuccessful.

I agree, something is wrong with the boresighting even doing the new correct procedure with the GND JET Enabled, it looks like it successfully boresighted on the ground but when it comes time to use it, it's way off and unusable with the TGP.

[MVS-Viper]

Agreed.  The bore sighting is not working properly with the latest update.  The handoff is nearly impossible (if you do the on the ground bore sighting procedure).  It was not perfect before the update, but certainly working better before.

However, if you hop into a plane that is already airborne (in a mission file).  The bore sighting done by the A.I. is perfect, and the handoff works great with the new update.

Hi,

In real life, automatic hand-off of a TGP tracked target to an AGM-65H/K is not supported (only possible for AGM-65D/G).

Best regards,

Hey @Furizand everyone replying.

We're marked this as a potential bug as we are seeing an inconsistency in the boresight alignment. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Despite having performed the correct alignment procedure of the maverick, the hand off is impossible to perform because the maverick looks to another side or does not stay still on the point....the same problem I sometimes encounter with the tgp which instead of stopping on point with cz it keeps moving..... launching in ripple mod doesn't work with lau88 mounted even if in the changelog it was present as fixed i'm frustrated,every time an update comes out the f16 stops working fine.......

Hi @Hendry30

According to our sources, the LAU-88 is not capable to "quick draw" AGM-65 Mavericks, only the LAU-115 can do it with two Mavericks loaded (one on each, obviously). And that was what the changelog referred to.

Regarding the ripple function there is another post open and the issue has been forwarded according to NineLine.

Post in question: 

 

[SmoglessPanic]

In passing, I read recenlty (mabye floggit / hoggit) that there was a problem with the VIper, something was broken. I was wondering what that was, It's been a while since I flew and i'm going to load up in a few minutes to do some quick missions to get a feel back. 

 

Figured I'd ask. Appreciate any feedback.

one thing widely reported is bore-sighting maverick on the ground. in air starts it seems to be fine. not sure if there is anything else.

Hi guys

i used to have no problem aligning and firing mavs. I stopped playing dcs 3/4 months ago and hopped back on just last weeks. Iv been having issues with mavs. Has anything changed? This is what I do...

 

 

Switch mavs on and wait till wpn page is on

simulate mode

ground jettison

pre mode on mavs

tgp Auto mode

find a suitable point on tgp

point track and tms up

move mav site on same point as tgp

press BSTG button or whatever its called

repeat for other rack of mavs

fly, find target in tgp...tms up and Id get a C logo showing im good to fire and boom

this isnt working any more. Any suggestions please? 

[=617= Evil]

Your procedure is correct. There is an issue with ground bore sighted Mavericks since the latest update. ED is aware and has acknowledged it, but no fix as of yet. Air starts work properly, though. 

Here's a good overview of all the changes to the Viper specifically in the last two updates: 

Update 2.8.0.32066:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeIAYFiZ9vA&t=1s

 

Update 2.8.0.32937b: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue-4U4NKeLM&t=622s (Check out 7:47 - MAV Handoff also. New feature that works great when bore sighting works.)

Why cannot be possible to calibrate the Mavericks on ground? 

[Tholozor]

Make sure you have GND JETT enabled and Master Arm enabled or set to SIM.

Master Arm either in ARM or SIM.

I tried everything but is not working, when I push the boresight button won't flash
