When your right MFD is set to CDU that is the repeater function....I believe.
At any rate when I click on OSB 16 nothing happens.

So you enter your coordinates using keyboard and then you press OSB16?

I was failing to press OBS 9 to select a new waypoint number.
After doing that...all is good. Thanks!

Great guide, thanks for this!

I'm having trouble slaving my SPI to weapons. I make an SPI with the TGP then switch to MAV, press "V" and the MAV camera slews to my current steerpoint and not my SPI. any ideas?

to Iceman, thanks mate. This guide got me into A10, and jump a few hurdles. Cheers mate. Top work. I've told all new players to look at your work.

Best icebreaker to new players.

Hey Maaz
You have to designate the point. IE lase the target with the tgp, turn laser on,("L" flashing in hud), press TMS long, turn laser off then make the mav your soi and then "V" key long, with the mav slewed you can zoom in with a "v" key short,tms short to lock, if it doesn't lock a slight slew of the mav and tms short. Don't try to reacquire the target with the mav using the "V" long a second time tho, as you cause the tgp to lose the target. you have repeat this process to keep the target locked locked. here is an excellent vid that teaches some gr8 stuff bout the TGP,
