As for the BORE mode of the TGP, all info we've found about this mode was that it's only used for aligning the TGP's axis with the aircraftaxis, which is done after the pod is mounted to the aircraft.

Using the radar means that you can lock on to completely the wrong thing without even knowing it. Using visual bombing means you have to get real low and real close, often overflying the target once at low altitude, in order to spot exactly where the target is.
I know it cuts into your bombload and fuel.. but try taking along a single AGM65. the seeker head in that.. while not FlIR quality, does allow you to confirm radar targets. Good for CAS and BAI.

One of the PDF's about F-16 operations that was linked a while back talked about this and about things like setting canopy coefficients for the HUD etc. I'm glad you left that out, I can't think of anything much more tedious than having to enter a bunch of coefficients before take off!
