Maverick Ground Stabilization Question

[LtMacGowan]

I'm having problems using the Maverick missiles. Whenever I'm slewing the crosshairs i get it over the target and go to ground stabilize and its floated off the mark by then. When it is G.S. i cant slew it or it unsets the G.S.

 

Also how come I can't get a lock in a missions. Training was rather simple but I slew it right on the target and even when i manage to ground stabilize it. it won't lock.

Your maverick is in a non-tracked state. To toggle from a non-tracked state to a tracked state you need to TMS Fwd Short until mav tracks target before you can launch.

 

Easiest would be to utilise your TGP and slave your mav to SPI or a markpoint created with the TGP. That way you will not have to slew around with the Mav, which behaviour you are describing is perfectly normal (floating).

Ah, thank you.
