Shouldn’t the BSGT label on the MFD be always showing? (like in the F-16 manuals available).

No, only when maverick has something locked.

every image of a AGM-65 MFD page that you'll find in a manual is showing the BSGT lable, like as if you can boresight anytime.

Manual is still work in progress and needs updates.

I found this post in bug report F-16 forum this morning on my phone, trying to find if there was a bug of some kind with boresight. But if I hadn't looked this morning, I would still not know what the problem was, because the post was moved. Believe it or not, this post is useful for users, because we can be aware of the state of the module when we search for possible bugs. The bug report forum work not only for reports but for user knowledge of current bugs.

There is search function in the upper right on the forum, I just typed maverick boresight and found bug report about it, it took me 5 seconds:

If you read through it you can find info.

Bug forum is for users to report bugs to ED, a place where devs can find reports easly and with no chit chat or discussions about how something is garbage.

Post a short track and explain the issue = best for devs to work the issue out.

And adding to the subject. Shouldn’t the BSGT label on the MFD be always showing? (like in the F-16 manuals available). It is really cumbersome the need to be tracking something in order for the BRGT label to appear. There is really no need for that logically, because you are just telling a microprocessor "save this value as center", so that get me thinking, does it work like this in reality? I get it that, while flying, you may want to do it like that, but there is no reason for it while on the ground. Again, every image of a AGM-65 MFD page that you'll find in a manual is showing the BSGT lable, like as if you can boresight anytime.

It shows only when master arm is set to ARM or SIM. Regardless of if the missile is locked on something or not. This correlates to all images you can find in a certain manual that shall not be quoted. 1-444

that is not correct,

It shows when you have target locked with Maverick seeker, regardless of Master Arm mode.

Master Arm on MAverick no lock

Master Arm off Maverick lock:

@Furiz 1-444 looks different than what you describe, look at the crosshair on those images compared to dcs. I therefore question the implementation in that detail

See the crosshair here? empty in the middle but locked.

From where is that page you are quoting?

I wont mention it here since it‘ll probably give me a 1.16 violation.

let‘s say it‘s from a nation with  lots of pretty islands.

1-447 illustrates the same with eo-pre and bore mode. No lock on target, bsgt shown anyway.

look at the timer in the bottom right, at 1:23 to target i doubt it possible to already have a lock, given that the displayed image of the a-g radar for the context shows the target at around 15nm and the selected weapon being a 65D

Whether you prefer to boresight your mavericks in flight or on ground, there is a bug somewhere between the targeting pod and the mavericks. In your hud the maverick symbol and the tgp symbol will be on the same place, but in the MFDs you can see that they are looking at different places. Making targeting impossible.

I think this is part of a greater TGP bug, where the TGP can get confused and will look into the sky when looking at a steerpoint that has ground altitude set up.

Maverick boresight does not really work.trk

This is a well known bug from the most recent update. I got an email from telling me that we get a pilot in the next update. Nothing about fixing the mavericks.

It's still a W.I.P internally. 
Hope they fix the JDAM's as well not hitting pre-planned stpt in the 16. It keeps falling just shy of the impact by like 10-20ft.

The CEP of the GBU 38 is 30m, or 100ft.  That means 50% of the weapons dropped will fall within a circle radius of 30m/100ft, so there would seem like nothing needs fixing there.
