You are misreading the document. It's not a mathematical conversion. Not EVERY ground VOR ground station has TACAN capability. The frequency pairings in your document are showing assignable frequencies, not what is installed. To see what is installed you must consult a navigation chart. Also, ground stations are subject to interference from mountains and hills. When you say VOR information, I assume you mean radials. Not all TACANs give radial information. It depends on the installation and the requirements and or money and interference, etc. For example, the DME portion of a VORTAC is TACAN. Likewise, the DME portion of an ILS is too. But, there are DME only installations as well. If tuning those, you will not get radials. Another thing is that these ground stations have definite range limitations that are dictated mainly by power and terrain. Some fall way short of any diagram you may have seen in a book due to terrain. I tested the F4 with both airborne and ground TACAN Y installations in DCS and it worked fine. This makes no sense at all. Are you saying that on every map and everywhere it doesn't work? What VOR information are you talking about? Radials and DME? Is your plane even powered up? What setting do you have dialed in? What map? What station? What altitude and location were you? And another thing, if someone with the knowledge takes time out to try and help you by asking for more information, blowing them off and saying basically "thanks for playing" is not the correct response. I'm chalking this one up to user error.

TACTS NTTR is back under development. I am currently re-writing the code and rebuilding the target ranges. I will post more when I have more to show.

Can someone please enlighten me as to what "AI helper on mission start" means in the special settings for the F-5?

I made my first flight in the Phantom a couple days ago. I had to make a no-flaps landing as I had not followed the 6 p's in my preflight (proper preparation prevents piss poor performance). We landed safely at Nellis. And as I was patting myself on the back, Jester tells me that now he can retire with disability pay. At least I didn't bend the jet.

Can you be more specific Stickler? Exactly what ground station, where, and what settings were on your TACAN controls including the HSI mode selectors Without knowing your situation, TACAN Y is generally used for Air-to-Air and generally does not use DME as this requires the aircraft to emit. It can though.

Yeah I noticed this one too as it's my favorite scheme

Is there any documentation on autoexec.cfg? I would like to know what commands are available to be placed there. Currently, I only use this file to set the webgui port of my servers. But I am sure it has more functionality.

Please ED give us the Su-25UTG. It would give REDFOR some carrier all weather strike capability. As of 2007, approximately 10 of these aircraft were operational in the Russian Navy as part of the 279th Naval Aviation Regiment of the Northern Fleet. In 2021, Su-25 aircraft were also reported deployed with the 100th Independent Shipborne Fighter Aviation Regiment of the same fleet

No, I don't think it is. I am not talking about the forum. Just trying to peruse some images for skins in the download area is a struggle.

@BIGNEWY Hey the website itself has been really slow for me. I have a 1 Gbs connection. Today I was trying to lookup some skins for the JF-17 and just had to give up. The performance of the website is like the old dial-up days.

The website is extremely slow. All of it for me.

I have been gone from DCs for a while. This is a very nice thing to have for mission designers. Thanks ED.

Thanks for the clarification. I do all my programming for MP. Your hoggit scripting reference is invaluable.

It appears that S_EVENT_HIT returns a table with a key labelled "weapon". However, that key has a value of nil. It does return a key labelled "weapon_name" with a string value equal to the name of the weapon. Maybe @Grimes or whoever maintains the hoggit ref can update it. You can do a simple check on the "event" table with the Lua pairs function to see what is returned by the event. elseif event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_HIT then trigger.action.outText("S_EVENT_HIT\n", 10, true) for k,v in pairs(event) do trigger.action.outText(string.format("%s\n", k), 10, false) end

You may indeed be correct, I don't know. However, the posted image does not say one way or the other for the AIM-9B. And, if you are going to reference documents, it's a good idea to post the title of the document so others can look it up.

Please ED also give us some of the airfield equipment like an updated Ural 4320/APA-5d, towbars, and the like. I really liked the old Virpil airfield mod from a few years back. Also, thank you for the MiG-29. It is indeed a dream come true for me. I suppose a request for the Su-25 or maybe a Su-27 as well would be out of order....lol.

I am working on a REDFOR training server that features the Yak-52. It may be a while before it's online though.

I hope she flies like the real thing.

Hi D500. Yes unfortunately. But it is coming back. I am re-writing the code and dropping support for SRS and Discord. The server will use in-game voice chat for radio comms. I will make a post when it's back up. It might be a month or two before it's ready. Hope you all have a nice Christmas. Z

While I am sure that there must be a good youtube video out there somewhere, I would steer clear of YT for aviation knowledge. A good source for this info is the AIM (formerly the airman's information manual, before the woke crowd took over)Aeronautical Information Manual - AIM (faa.gov)

In a properly designed multiplayer scenario, there won't be any hawking around the airfield looking for an easy kill. Unless maybe in a parachute.

I have seen the Ak47. I will have to go look for the air freshener.

And night ops. I do those too.
