viper2097 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've set up a training map with a lot of aircrafts selectable, a lot of ground and air units and also four carriers and four tankers. However, I have been inside the useable Tacan frequencies and still have an interesting problem: Carrier 1: 94X Carrier 2: 98X Carrier 3: 95X KC-130: 55Y KC-135 MPRS: 58Y KC-135 Boom: 61Y S-3B: 63Y When I'm in the aircraft and want to use Tacan, the results are as followed: Same with Hornet, Harrier, A10C and Mirage 2000: Carrier 1: 94X T/R -> fine (bearing & range) Carrier 2: 98X T/R -> fine (bearing & range) Carrier 3: 95X T/R -> fine (bearing & range) KC-130: 55Y A/A -> fine (bearing & range) KC-135 MPRS: 58Y A/A -> nothing / 55X -> fine (bearing & range) KC-135 Boom: 61Y A/A -> nothing / 55X -> fine (bearing & range) S-3B: 63Y A/A -> othing / 63X -> fine (bearing & range) Interesting fact: If I switch to the following: KC-130 58Y & KC-135MPRS 55Y, then I need to select for both the X channel to get them working?! So guys, can you please help me out what I'm doing wrong? Or is there a problem with Tacan / A-A TR / Tankers in general? Thank you very much!

RavenFrost Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 i think there is an ongoing issue with tankers on the "Y" channel. i don't think you are doing something wrong. this is why i'm only using "X" channels in my mission setups.

QuiGon Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I have problems getting TACAN ranges for tankers lately. I usally use TACAN channels between 47Y and 57Y for my tankers and I do get a bearing, but the range is missing. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

viper2097 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Is what you have experienced matching with my first post? Sometimes I also just get the range in y channel and need to switch then to the x channel. Addition: F14 works fine as it should Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuiGon Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 No, definitely not. The Y band is behavioung pretty weird indeed.

RED Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 No, you are indeed not. This issue exists since Hornet Release or 2.5. I don't really remember. Probably just not high up on their list. It stands in line with other issues/bugs concerning tanker. Tanker setting you up for the wrong hose first. Tanker not extending the hoses and being ready before you are in the stern position. Tanker flying at the wrong altitudes when the air pressure/temperature deviates from standard. Tanker initiating turns with a rather high roll rate while not giving you a heads up first.

viper2097 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 Is ED anyhow aware of that annoying bug? I mean, I nead to use X channels when searching a tanker which is on y channel... Feels pretty "false"... Steam user - Youtube I am for quality over quantity in DCS modules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bainsy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Unless the thread is tagged with a status (Reported, Fixed, No Bug, etc.), then you can assume ED is not aware or does not agree that this is a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
