Maverick cursor won't move when in pre/slave mode
-
I fly the training mission. I found a GMT Target in the FCR. I lock it in FCR with TMS up. On the 2nd MFD I see the maverick weapon page also locked on this location. Maverick is SOI (automatically). But then I can’t move the cursor. When I press TMS down it goes to a completely different place and moves together with the aircraft movement. When I press TMS again, while Maveric is SOI, I can’t move the cursor too. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Oho, I tried replicating your problem but really couldn’t. When I’m in pre and designate target I can slew the cursor, TMS up and lock, TMS down and slew. If I TMS down twice the mav’s re center on RDR cursor. Try this,
Load up Training mission 27 get mav’s spooled up and in range. Then Freeze the sim, SHF P. then you can play with the controls and maybe figure out what’s happening. Try using pre, vis and bore modes.
Hope this helps,Conan

I have the same problem But I found out I lock up the target in the FCR it does lock up the target in the maverick page After I fire the first mav I am now
able to slew to the next target until I am out of maves -
It worked when I have a good view on the target (inside gimbal limit). Strange for me is that I see the locked target (locked by FCR) and when I hit TMS down, the camera moves to the gimbal limit very quickly. Why can’t I slew when I see it locked? I would expect that I couldn’t see it, if it is locked too. Or is this s feature of the maverick?

probably because its in PRE mode.Goes to the preplanned stpt and stays there. I think you have to TMS up, to get it moving.Alternatively, switch to VIS mode

GMT eh. Lemme guess when you reject the target it goes back to GM. The change of radar mode resets the cursors to the steerpoint position. This resetting of the FCR mode and the associated reset of the cursors is one of the annoyances of BMS.
