cannot reproduce Can't boresight mavs

[Moonshine]

lets assume everything is done correctly, i usually boresight the mavs mid air, using some house or structure as the object to boresight on. now, the first station i manage to boresight at around 10-11nm, all fine. switching to the second station and locking the same object up does not take a lot of time, yet when cruising with around 450kts you do cover some distance during that time, which means, the second station will be (perfectly) boresightet at around 8-9nm. so now you have two stations, both perfectly boresightet but to different ranges but it LOOKS like one is not accurate depending on how far out the target is you are trying to engage. nothing wrong with that. if that bothers you, change the object you boresight on so you can get the max range out of both stations.

 

bottom line, no problem boresighting mavericks

If I say I attempted to recalibrate the uncalibrated rack and it continues fail calibration, then I don't know what else to say. 

I know about a half dozen others who have been having this issue so I'll hand you some of your own: You must not have actually interacted with Mavs once within the past few updates. It's become a common saying within our larger community that if you want to use mavs, fly the A10, as they've historically always had one major issue or another active on this aircraft. Were you aware of the issue in the prior patch? It was 100% failure to calibrate. Now it's an occasional repeat of the same issue. Don't believe me? Guess who doesn't care. 

As stated before, I am not having any issues boresighting both stations at all with the current OB patch. I am well aware that the prior one was broken. The current one works perfectly fine. Unless you fly the stable version OR your process in boresighting is faulty, you should not have any issues getting them boresighted.

Your assumption of me not flying the viper lately is pretty far off and you‘d know this if you‘d actually follow the bug reports section here at least a little bit.

If you‘d provide some actual info about which version of dcs you use and what weapon loadout, this crap could be avoided. (Track replays do help with that  )

if you are 100% sure you do it right and it doesnt work in the OB version, try repairing your game.

Okay, do you have a track and can you show it? 

What do you use to perform a BSGT ground or air targets?

we had to boresight our tank main gun with the sights. we usually did this at targets 1000 meters away. the closer or further away you had a target in the sight, the boresight would be off and progressively more off when you moved away from 1000 meters. so in my case with the F16, i know that one cannot get a target lock more than 8 miles and a more likely target lock is about 6-7 miles, i boresight at 6-7 miles and always try to shoot 6-7 miles. it boils down to geometry. i may be totally wrong though it seems to work for me.

Same thing here. It actually seems that when i switch between stations while boresighting and then immediatly test selwing the tpod after boresighting em, every station has lost its boresighting. It seems not to stay in the memory right after one moves tpod little bit. Dunno why. Have not experience doing this before, but have now done 12hours fo tutorials step by step with it, and if the tutorials on the youtube are not totally wrong, there is something weird in boresighting. In tutorials they just boresight to something in front of em and then test slewing the tpod and swithing trough stations by pressing msl step->their missiles stay boresighted and looks where tpod looks, while mine has pretty much same difference that there was before (seems that the boresighting just loses when i go off one station  /soi something other etc. Any clue how is this going now? Should it work in OB? (have latest version whatever it is 2.8.x)

Tracks that show your issue guys.

Hmm. Seems that i tried it too near. Or then the problem was 3mavs on the same station, I will try again with more missiles. Got it working with two, from a hot plane from the end of the runway. Does it matter do i press SP or not. I mean if i just like press override two times can i do aligment like that? Do I have to get it SP first? Cause SP I cant get working on the ground. Dunno if it supposed to..?  SP works in the air though. But yeah. Seems that the missiles stayed more or less in aling just by doing it to vehicles in the other end of the runway (1xMav D´s on two different stations). Also auto handoff worked after that to em. So it seems to work.

Snowplow doesn't work at all atm, I mean you can get it snowplowed but you wont be able to move your TGP.

It is much more precise if you align the Mav in the air tho cause you can get the target at lets say 5 miles as opposed to 1 mile runway target. It doesn't matter how many Mavericks are on the pylon, you need to align 1 per pylon so 2 in total and all your 6 Mavs are aligned.

Don't forget to set GND JETT to ENABLE and Master Arm to SIM when aligning on the ground, it will not work otherwise. When aligning in the air you only need Master Arm to SIM.

When align in the air, can I just switch master arm "ON", or does it still "need" "SIM" - while in the air..?

either or, both work.

[Furiz]

Both work but Chuck's Guide says SIM
