@CriticalMass Iron Eagle, lol! I watched the movie too many times as a kid, and now as an adult, it is why I am a pretend F 16 fighter pilot. Oh, and the name I gave my pilot in BMS is of course, Doug Masters.
Anyways, I have solved the issue by making sure that my Viper TQS MODE dial is on TCN, and then adding a few steps to the click dance, I reset all of the target points, and after saving everything, I hit load. If I do this once, then the training mission loads fine from then on, but if I do all of the above but have the MODE dial not on TCN, but NAV or something, the steer points do not appear on the HSD, and they do not come back while flying, even if switching the MODE back to TCN.
This is still weird, and I am not sure why it was all jacked up, but at least it works now. I still don’t completely understand what I did.
Almost forgot, a big Thank You to everyone who helped me with this weird issue.
