Whenever I start a match using TV Guided weapons the aimpoint starts fixated on the ground like its been locked and when I get to where I need it the aimpoint is down in either the bottom right or bottom left corner and I’m unable to get it back to center.
Any idea what the problem is? I’ve completely reset my controls and started over and it continues to do it.
It doesn’t do it on the TPOD, just the TV and the Mavs.
Any help would be apopreciated.
Gaijin made a change to the seeker eye stabilization of AGMs a few patches ago that made them permanently stick to the last sensor Point Of Interest (POI) while in the seeker scope. Even some of the targeting pods are affected by that change, and they have done little to fix it despite community response.
The best thing to do for now is either use the map designation to key the seeker eye to that point or direct the center pipper of your aircraft’s HUD to the point you want the AGM to look at and hit your sight stabilization key before switching to the AGM scope.
Thanks for the response.
Since posting this I discovered the site stabilization key. Some aircraft it works, some it doesn’t. The one I’m having the most trouble with is the F-5E.
That being said I didn’t know that the map designation existed. Does it give you anything visually in the cockpit? For example does it designate the target for CCIP/CCRP in older aircraft?
In other words will you see your target designated from the cockpit, in some of the older jets, say the F-4S for example??
It seems you just have to press the “Weapon lock (air-to-ground)” key while in your regular cockpit view pointing the crosshair (or nose of your aircraft) where you want to turn the TV camera. Then wait for a bit until it says “tracking” at the bottom and you’re all set - you can now switch to the TV view, adjust where it points to (you have to press the “Weapon lock” key once more to unlock and then again when set) and fire.
Tested on the F4-E and F5-E in the test flight and both works fine.
I actually hadn’t known all this either and thought the whole time since the aforementioned patch that the whole thing was broken, too. So big “thank you” to @White_Timberwolf for sharing this intel.
Just an update.
It is still not working in the F-5E, for me anyway.
Today when the F-20 went on sale I bought it and tried it, works just as described in this thread.
Therefore I don’t think its me. If anyone else has the F-5E please see what it does for you.
Using the AV-8B NA and the A-10A Early, still could not destabilize the seeker head from last point of designation even with seeker stabilization off keybind pressed. Still require pointing the nose of the aircraft at the target area then pressing sight stabilization key to get the seeker looking in the right vicinity.
However I think I’ve figured out the issue: Somehow the Sight Stabilization keybind has partially cloned functions with the Designate Target Point keybind, letting it also denote a CCRP location for GPS and iron bombs in the systems. Setting the Deactivate Target Point does nothing in regards to the sight stabilization as it should though, so the issue has to be a code string for sight stabilization and CCRP functionality.
Did you try it in the cockpit or external view?
I’ve been messing with this for a week because the F-5E is important to my presets for sim but it has been giving me nothing but trouble.
I finally got it to work by sight stabilization but only in the external view. When I try in the cockpit view it will not work. And external view does me no good in sim battles.

Cockpit (I play only sim).

It really does work for me - I played ground sim last Friday/Saturday when the F-5E event was on and was able to use the Mavericks there reliably locking both ground vehicles and helicopters.
There actually seemed to be one small quirk compared to the test flight procedure description of mine above meaning I actually had to press the “Weapon lock (air-to-ground)” button twice before getting the “tracking” message at the bottom. In test flight one press seems to be enough.
Also, I’ve just tried in test flight again while having all the “sight stabilization” and “target points” keys unbound and it still worked just fine.
I can send you my cfg if you want to see for yourself.
That would be great if you don’t mind.
Something is causing mine to not work, and as you allude to it may be a conflicting key bind.
If you don’t mind , if you could send me your cfg and I will load it and see if that is it.
Do I need to send you my contact info via PM?

I’m attaching it here - let me know if it works. If not, I’ll send it to you per email.
