solved Unable to set head set target designation

[SKYWARRIOR]

Hi, I am a newbie and trying to solve a problem of undesignated target when using JDAM in TOO mode with instant fuse.This is my procedure:

SCSW RT TO GET DIAMOND IN TOP RT OF FLIR SCREEN

PRESS NOSE WHEEL STEERING 3 TIMES TO CLEAR ANY TARGETS AND GET DIAMOND INTO TOP OF FLIR

SCSW ONCE FORWARD TO SNOW PLOUGH HUD WITH DOT IN CENTRE OF HUD SYMBOL

NOW HUD SHOWS TARGET CIRCLE WITH VERTICAL LINE AND AIMING CIRCLE ( BUT IT DOES NOT !) THIS ALSO DOES NOT APPEAR IN HELMET AIMING SYMBOLOGY OF COURSE !

POSITION TRIANGLE ON TARGET AND DEPRESS THRT /DESG ONCE TO LOCK TARGET

NOW BACK IN FLIR SCSW RT TO GRT DIAMOND WORKING IN FLIR SCREEN

NOW PRESS SECOND TIME TO GET TRACK MODE IN FLIR SCREEN.

I cannot get this far as the the circular target aiming symbol never appears. My understanding is that pressing nose wheel undesigate button three times clears out any previous settings and makes way for new target position to be dealt with. Is that correct because I cannot get it to work for me. Any help welcome thank you.David

Make sure you're in AG mode

SCS towards screen wtih TGP to make SOI

NWS button a few times to return targeting pod to VVSLV

SCS FWD to make HUD / HMD SOI

Look out the cockpit and put the HMD on something you want to target

TDC Depress and the designation diamond will show up over what you're looking at. You can slew using the TDC if need be. NWS will clear the designation and the aiming circle will appear again.

Once designated, SCS towards which ever screen you have the TGP on to make it SOI

With JDAMs, once you designate a spot and give it coordinates, you won't get the aiming circle again. With the HMD as SOI, you'll only have the crosshair with dot, and you place that over whatever you want to target and TDC Depress. The diamond will then appear at that location and the coordinates of what you designated are now loaded into the JDAM. Press NWS to undesignate and you can TDC Depress over a new target. You can still SCS towards the TGP to make it SOI and fine tune your aim point, then TDC Depress again to enter the coordinates under the TGP aim point.

Once the JDAMs are gone, or you switch to something like an LGB or dumb bombs, you'll get the aiming circle in the HMD again.

I would like to thank you for such an helpful and concise reply. I have now had a chance to put this to the test and as you well know it is the solution to my problem. 

As far as I can see (But these things are easy to miss with a 743 page guide from CHUCK !)  because this has consumed about three weeks of my learning curve trying to get this sorted.

So I hope others have access to this info and thanks again
