Can't Get Maverick as SOI
-
I’ve been having an issue that is probably caused by something I’m doing out of order. When using Mavericks, I normally have my TGP on my left MFD and the Maverick on the right. When I go fence in, I turn the Maverick on (don’t uncage yet) and begin the boresight process with my TGP. After selecting a target to boresight to on my TGP, I can’t switch back to my right MFD to uncage the Maverick and boresight it. My DMS simply won’t select the Maverick as the SOI. I can push my DMS right and select other choices on the MFD, but not the Maverick. Oddly, if I switch the TGP to my right MFD and the Maverick to the left MFD, I can do it no problem. I’ve tried clearing the TGP cursor and everything else I can think of, but other than flip-flopping my TGP to the right MFD and Maverick to the left, nothing works. Thanks is advance.
EDIT: figured it out. I was trying to make the Mav the SOI before I uncaged the missile. I needed to click on the SMS, then WPN buttons, then uncage. I was trying to switch to the right MFD with my DMS instead of using my mouse first to go SMS, WPN, then uncage. Problem solved.

Well, you cant make the SMS the SOI in BMS, but you could have used the DMS right to cycle through the right MFD pages, from SMS to WPN, then DMS down to switch SOI from the TGP to the WPN page.
