Boresight issues training mission
-
4.34 I could boresight and handoff no problem
Now I don’t get the handoff message after locking with TGP
After switching to wpn, locking and pressing bsgt, the bsgt text just flashes and I don’t get the c or any other letter
Any suggestions please? Thanks

Just did this Training Mission myself; my steps, after the setup and powering on of the Mavs, uncaging them, etc:
A/G Mode
TGP SOI - Point Track your Target - “Handoff in Progress” displayedIn 4.34, I used to receive an Avionics error at this point. However I did not notice it this time around, to continue with the process:
WPN SOI - Slew cursor to same target as TGP - TMS UP to Lock.
BSGT displayed, click it, it will flash momentarily.Remove Lock from Mav and TGP with TMS Down when SOI.
Point Track another Target with the TGP, the Handoff should now complete succesfully and display a C above the Station Number.
Repeat for the other Pilon.This should sort it

You’re not supposed to get a “C” when pressing BSGT. Locking up the same object in TGP and missile is for the purposes of calibration. The calibration being complete allows for a handoff to be done later.

Ok will try again. Thanks

Boresighting…meh

I could bore sight if we could do it on the ground. In the air, there are just too many things going on that my poor little brain can’t handle it all.

Believe it or not, the reason there’s an easier maverick training mission is just that. I wanted to offer boresight on the ground.
I tried hard enough for weeks - though update changes that moved my boresight subject many times (B-1 on the ramp)
In the end I came to the conclusion that boresighting on the ground, if possible in real life - is not possible in BMS.Cursor management close to horizontal is very unstable and jump all over the place making TGP and WPN page cursoe management much much more frustrating than in flight
So I abandoned the ground boresight idea but kep the easier maverick training scenario. -
Sorted it now. All my fault.
If I could find the destroyer on the TGP a bit sooner (seems harder in the 4.35 mission) I would be back to finding things easy again

yes, the weather always get’s porked from one update to another, so the fmap for that mission had to be redone and of course you can’t ensure that it’s the very same conditions.
So it might be possible that the weather situation is slighly different than before.
Again, the easier training mission allows you now to boresight on Seoul airbase buildings in Sunny weather. (look for TRN 13 maverick basic)
