Tutorial on how to use the AGM-65D IR Mavericks for the AV-8B Harrier

[flyingturnip]

Mavrick employment AV8-B:

1. Master Arm - ARMED
2. STRS Page: Select "IRMV" (Starts cooldown if not done, will take approx 3 mins, shows "RDY" in bottom left when cooled)
3. Verify "A/G Master Mode" (Automatic on when stores selected)
4. Locate target using DMT - Sensor Select Aft twice, TV view follows velocity vector on HUD
5. Move velocity vector onto area of target and press "TDC Action/Depress" - This will lock view to ground indicated by a square on the HUD (This step is missed in the video but vital)
6. Use TDC Slew to locate target on DMT
7. Uncage Maverick - Uncage button
8. In order to control maverick, you must press "Sensor Select Forward", "IRMV" will be indicated in the top left of both MFCD's as well as boxed on HUD (as shown in video)
9. When in range, press "TDC Action" to lock target. lock is indicated by full crosshair on Maverick view (As shown in video)
10. Fire ze missile.

New drinking game: Every time Jabbers says "Go ahead..." you take a drink.

I don't think the IR Mavs lock onto the target automatically any more (in range or otherwise). It requires a Press of the Action Button. And I think we now have to Uncage each missile independently between each shot.
I wish it were still this simple.

Great video mate, I really enjoyed it. I have got to get into DCS.

[horus_simgadgets]

The procedure is a bit simpler than A-10C, but I can't lock moving targets with MAV IR sensor. This makes the MAV D useless. Any suggestions?

[henrikportillo]

I can't sensor select forward, when im going into control options/keybinds, the sensor select forward is red. It is not working when im pushing the keybind. help please.

Will you be doing a tutorial for the mav-H or is it essentially the same as the D? Id be interested to see if we can use force correlate on H like in the A10c

[bartacomuskidd]

do you like this IR method or the E mavs better? lasing my own targets that is.

[FACrazyCanuck]

Thanks for the vid. Question: when I engage the DMT my tv display is in nvg of a flir looking more not a daylight tv display. What am I doing wrong?

[pleasant]

Thank you for this! I can't get the Maverick to launch. I've got it all down, lock, switch to forward sensor and....nothing. Trigger is bound properly and right alt + space doesn't work either.

Why is your DMT in BW and not in green? Also how do you slow down the slew speed of the DMT?

[rehil]

these are great tutorials any change since you us VR send what your recommended bindings are

[DrGimmicks]

COOL . keep it up, if you can illustrate CCRPs in Night .

[fakevake]

How do you slew the DMT at different speeds? Mine always seems so slow

[AntoineThisdale]

How did you lock the DMT on the ground? pressed a button? (1:07)

[WhereNerdyisCool]

Sensor select aft two times....where?? I don't see you pushing anything?

[ctguy]

I am not getting the IRMV in they upper left of left panel like You HELP

[TexasGreed]

I feel like my DMT slews very slow compared to yours and mine doesn't work well going diagonally.

[stalhuth]

how do you slew at that speed, in my case the cursor moves very slow
