NAVFLIR pod has no Boresight Values and is horribly Boresighted when loaded onto clean aircraft from loadout menu

[Ivandrov]

Tried a cold start, hot start, and an in-air start, with and without having the NAV pod already loaded. The boresight is always zeroed out, and no values seem to be stored anywhere, kneeboard or anything. I had one cold start where the NAV pod was horribly off boresight, the nose of the aircraft was quite visible throughout the entire flight in the upper left corner and isn't accurate at all at long distance.

Enter 61 into the pitch value. There will always be paralax and at close range or in the ground it will look strange just due to the pod being 10 feet under and 5 feet right of the HID. But a pitch value of 61 seems to get it fairly aligned

Thx, will try!

Btw. This is interesting feature (however I dont know does it work or not), page 155:

ELEC (PB 7): allows for the boresight to be electrically slewed using the TDC in order to align the NAV FLIR image with the real world image visible through the HUD.

Edit: Yes, it doesnt work now.

61 is too mutch, the shift is crazy. 6.1 is ok (NEVADA map).

In fact, I don't know where this 61 repeated in several threads came from. Personally, after my tests, I see that this setting is wrong, but 6.1 fits almost perfectly. The examples are on the ground but it also works in flight, the mountains are in line as they should be, with NVG on you can see that 6.1 is ok and at 61 the mountain line also has offsets. Maybe someone misread something and didnt notice a dot? 

Shift for 61:

6.1 near perfect match:

1. make sure you're testing both hot+pre-loaded starts and cold+rearmed starts, they need different values (rearms require much greater values)

2. make sure to aim using far away objects, or else the physical location of the camera will introduce offsets.

Btw. I always start C&D.

I have different theory,,, it depends from your weight, Today I used settings 66 for example.

The problem is to match it by digits, you have to put something, next use NVG to check for example few peeks and match it again, Fingers crossed for Electric option by TDS soon. It will be much easier for effective alignment.
