  1. Volator, I am in the process of recreating this server. I do all the mission creation and lua programming. It may be a few months before it's operational again. I have been busy doing other things, namely rebuilding the interior of our home.

    I am a pilot and 25 year veteran ATC. I have also seen the posts describing your squadron and activities. Maybe we can fly together in the future.

  2. I know of an example from Cherbourg where the Coast Guard was using a 1W signal which was received by a boat 60 nm away. It comes down to the antenna if you have a decent radio.

    It also depends on the atmospheric conditions. 60nm is not impossible.

    Who do you mean by "we"? 🤔

     

    Just in case you had the illusion to speak on behalf of the entire community: I certainly do not "need" any trainer module in DCS.

    Some of us come from real world aviation. We love to fly. Period. It's not about a game.   

    Maybe you should read the rules for this section before posting.

    Remember the C-101EB (1980), L-39ZA/ZO (1976/1978), MB-339A (1979) has cold war trainers and L-39 was the main Red (Warsaw pact) trainer on the Cold War. About a T-2 (UsNavy) (1958) and T-38 (USAF) (1961) missing only about as USA trainers.

    You are absolutely correct Dragon. I just want a T-2 for historical and sentimental reasons. As for the Su25, maybe ED can find the means to do a full fidelity module one day before I am too old to fly it.

  4. 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 report is about the general inability to obtain VOR information by dialling in the Y TACAN channel associated with a specific VOR frequency in-game, not about this not working at specific locations or with specific frequencies. Thanks for bumping the thread though. 👍

     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.

  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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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
  8. 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.
