As in the title, does anyone know if TACAN for the KC130 is now working in 2.5? I had read it was fixed in the previous version.(OB 1.5.8.13504) I have set up a tanker mission but cannot get any TACAN indication when I dial in the Tankers frequency? Thanks.

Shame, when I read the title I thought it was something which would improve the accessing of instruments while in VR. Nice addition for normal displays though.

Thanks, unfortunately I don't use Target and have no clue how to use it.

Nice setup, quick question on your mouse assignments. When you hold the controls foreward/aft do you have to keep clicking to get the rotaries to turn or do they turn just by holding the control in the forward (or rear) posistion? Hope that makes sense!

Ah good point. Yes thats my understanding too with regard to tanking only on Com1. Oh well, hopefully the Coms issue will be improved soon. At least its not me being dumb, thats always a good thing! :smilewink:

Thx, yes what Neil was saying is that in the ME Com 2 relates to Com 1 and vice versa, so if you want to have Com1 working you need to add the frequencies to Com2 and the manual input doesn't work at all yet. Will try and contact the mission host, funny thing is I have seen other aircraft using refuelling (admittedly not Harriers) will also take another look down my channels but pretty sure it wasn't there. But I guess if it's on Com2 it wouldn't work anyway??? BTW, I see your from Reading...small world, I grew up and lived just outside Reading for many years. :)

Thanks for the reply. Yes looks like not having the channel pre selected in the mission editor is the problem. I have my own tanker mission. I added a tanker com's channel under Com2 preselect. Unticked easy communications and went into the mission. After selecting the tanker channel on Com1, I could make contact with the tanker with no issues.

Not sure if anyone can assist, but this is now officially doing my nut in... I have flown missions both single player and with a friend on my own server and have been able to communicate with the tanker, ATC, etc. This is not a problem. I have recently tried flying on another server (as for some unknown reason my friend can no longer see the server I have started...this is a whole other story...) Going onto this other server they have realistic coms set.(I am aware the Harrier only supports simple coms at the moment) The tanker is on UFC 251. Using COM1 there is no preset for that channel. I have tried selecting 251 manually - no joy. I have tried to select a radio channel that is on the preset COM1 (Tonopah) - no joy, no response from the tower. I have changed my settings from simple coms to see if that would work - no joy. Any ideas? Thanks! EDIT - I am of course flying the Harrier, hence posting on this forum. I havent tried any other planes as yet.

I think he's actually referring to the weapon tracking/detection system's on the ship as apposed to an actual TACAN system. So basically the ship will be "pinging away" that shows up on your RWR. Which I would imagine, would be dependent on the ships mission at the time, rules of engagement, etc.

Wonder no more! It was me being a (to use a technical term...) biff! I hadn't clicked on easy coms in the menu (even though I was sure I had!). Thanks for the link though, that was useful for trying to set up my own tanker mission. Though I really must be a biff as having set up one exactly along the lines of the video, my coms menu isn't showing the tanker, just ATC. If I go back to my first mission the tanker's callsign is back???

Nice job, thanks! Will you be doing a coms guide? (Could do with a hand with them as I completely failed at calling the tanker earlier, LOL)

@JACE: Looks spiffing! And to translate for our cousins across the pond...Awesome! :thumbup:

Hey Charly, that's sad to hear on both counts ( no guide for a while and your work life balance! ). All the best with both! Your guides have always been a great read and I thank you for the past ones and look forward to your future ones :)

Fab skins, are you going to release these?

Yes, much appreciated guys. Just getting things set up my end to get some serious stick time into this baby! Cheers!

. Lets hope so! I thought it was just me... :(

Welcome to the club. If I understand correctly the issue your having, try this... Options - Controls. Then click on the top left box ( this is where you select which aircraft you are flying ). Scroll down until you see "UI Layer" and select a suitable button that you can use to recenter your view. ( I use button 21 on my Hog Throttle ). Once you click that it recenters your view. Hope that helps!

Not wishing to butt in, but he said its from an email he received from the developer. " To make sure, I have contacted the manufacturer and got the follwing reply (within a few hours): ++++ We are working together with ED because our CEO cooperates with them for some projects such as UH1. CaptoGlove can emulate and map any control. Therefore two gloves and a CaptoSensor can replicate collective cyclic and pedals. However the most expert players use a HOTAS but interaction with the cockpit is what is missing. So you can set up CaptoGlove to interact with items in the cockpit via mouse and keyboard emulation. Also, as it has pressure sensors so you can use not only bending to activate functions, but also pinching between index and thumb.Also, we are currently working with ED to furthermore integrate it in DCS. They have a full set on which they are working on. +++"

Just tried it and works just fine!

Could I ask what is the recommended chair?

Devrim, you're an absolute star! It works!!! ( Only had to do the first part - make folder and copy files to it.) I can see why you have such a high rep! More inbound :thumbup:

Hey Devrim, this is greatly appreciated. Heres a screenshot:

It's open Beta. I haven't got Flaming Cliffs ( I understand that this isn't needed??? ) Thanks.

Hey, Just bought the module, loaded and see a load of missing textures in the cockpit ( seat,HUD,etc ). I have tried doing a repair and have also deactivated the module, uninstalled it and reinstalled. Same textures are still missing. Any ideas? Thanks! *EDIT* I see that this has now been stickied so to hopefully help anyone else with this issue quickly find the help they need...keep reading :) 1: Thanks to BIGNEWY for reporting this to the devs. 2: Devrim has very kindly offered an interim fix (which worked for me) as follows: > Create a folder "SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES" in the same location of SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES.zip "...\Mods\aircraft\Su-33 or something\Cockpit\Textures" Yes! There will be one folder and one zip with same name. > Open the will_that_fix.zip and copy all files into your "SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES" folder. Try it. If it doesn't work, please enter "SU-33-CPT-TEXTURES" folder created by you and rename all filename's "su27" part to "su33" and try again. su27_cpt_glass_dif.dds -> su33_cpt_glass_dif.dds I hope it will work. https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=169738&d=1506330631

Now that's an impressively large stool you have there!
