How to get slewable Mav seeker in slave mode
-
Hi!
One ability is to select a target (AG-radar / TMS UP), then in MFD with the weapon screen also…, but is there another way, w/o selecting a target in the FCR?
Or is there only the other option to use VIS-, or Bore-mode?TIA and greeting

In BMS you need to lock a target first using the FCR to get the Mav seeker to move on the WPN page - it is slaved to the FCR, after all.
Or you can switch to a VIS mode. Dont use BORE.

Hi Blu3wolf,
thank you for answering! So, now it is clear.
Maybe one more question:
Is it a FBMS feature only, or is it also for RL?Greeting

Hi, no in RL the behavior is different. In RL Maverick in Pre mode is slaved to the SPI position which is shared by FCR/TGP/HUD. Means that you should be able to slew the SPI in anyway you want and the Maverick will slave there.
Almost everything A-G related in RL does relate to the SPI, as it’s a very important function of the system that keeps all sensors in sync all the time. For example in pre-planned modes you can move SOI to the HUD and slew wherever you want and the FCR/TGP will follow your “HUD” slews (assuming they aren’t in track modes).

SPI ???
Steer Point Indicator ? No
System Point-of-Interest
Why did I have to look that up?
-
will this be adjusted in the near future in BMS?

You’ll know in 3-4 weeks I guess
