      I was wondering if anyone else has this problem, if it is just a common bug to this simulator, I cannot get the maverick missles to lock up the target most of the time regardles of the mode I am in be it pre, visual or boresight, but visual seems to work most of the time with tanks and seldom works with buildings, for instance, I just tried to lock up a building in visual mode, I switched then to visual mode, slewed TD box over a building, ( target ) and then pressed TMS up, the square TD box then changes into a circle to give ground stabilazation, but when I slew the changed circle over the target and press TMS up again the cross inside the targeting gates continue to flash not allowing the target to lock up, no matter how much I continually press TMS up, I get this same result with the other modes also even though in those modes the TD box does not change to a circle, is this a problem that is just a part of the simulator that you just kinda learn to ignore?

        1st, not sure about buildings. What about ground vehicles?

        If that doesn’t help:

        2nd, is the TGP on? If so, put it in standby (in all modes …. NAV, AA and AG). Try Mavs again … any difference?

          That would be tanks as mentioned above, it works sometimes with those but is inconsistant, I have done all I know to do, I am at a loss.

            To narrow this down, what about the TGP? Mavs and the TGP don’t play well together right now. Can you confirm that you have the TGP either off/standby in all modes (or not loaded at all)?

              Buildings are tougher to get a lock with AGMs - make sure you try to lock up the base of the building (where it touches the ground). That’s where it will lock, not the middle or top.

                Or you just tell your Crew Chief to stop peeing on the Seekerheads of your Mavs and putting the Capsels back up onto them.

                Joke beside: I never had Problems in using the Mavs and TGP at the same time. Ok I had activated the TGP but not selected on a MFD. So maybe just reeinstall your Falcon and see if the Problem is gone. Did you edit anything or any Kind of Data of the SIM?

                    I found the problem, I have an X-52 pro joystick that has 3 modes, I use 2 of those modes to lock up targets, one of the modes in the A/G set up lost its keypress, I then reprogrammed it and it seems to work ok for now, this may work for someone else that may have this similar pronlem. thanks
