AGM 65 Boresighting question

In missions where there isn't any ground object that is >1 mile away at the time of takeoff and on maps like Syria where there is nothing but flat desert between takeoff and your mission objective, what is the best way to quickly boresight the AGM 65s ?

Trying to boresight them while in the air at the mission objective is clunky and requires flying close to the ground to be able to find a boresighting target on my WPN display

Most airfields in DCS should have some static trucks in which you can boresight mavs to

Forget about boresighting the Maverick. Usually it's already somewhat aligned. When you go in hot just slew the TGP to the target area and then the WPN onto the target. THEN do a boresight, usually you got plenty of time. Boresighting is overrated IMHO. Exception: you have to pinpoint lets say a Tor, TGP it before, go ultralow, popup and have to almost instantly shoot a Maverick at 2-3nm. Then boresighting is important, but again, it's about divergence. You boresighted at 7nm before, then at an attack range of 2nm the boresight is still off.

Also when conditions either for the IR or the TV seeker are bad and you have problems to identify them on the MFD a correct boresight will be an advantage, also when you got a huge amount of targets and have to take out one particular. Still then, just do boresighting on your attack run.
