Kelevra9987 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Hey guys. After a heavy Testing-Session of around 11 Hours yesterday we tried also the A/A TACAN. So I set my TACAN to 17Y and A/A REC while my buddy would set his to A/A T/R on the same Channel. AFAIK he should at least get a range Indication to me, no? Is this not modelled or am I doing something wrong?

Greetings Kelevra When operating in either of the Air-to-Air modes, the frequency of the master aircraft and all receiver aircraft must be in the same X/Y mode and spaced 63 channels apart. I.e. in your case need to set 80Y for receiving. "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince.
Eddie Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 In addition to Billy's comments, you also both need to be on AA TR, not receive. TACAN Yardstick guide available at the link below. http://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=88
Kelevra9987 Posted July 25, 2016 Author Posted July 25, 2016 Thanks to both of you. Will test it again later in the evening. :) Modules: Well... all of 'em ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VIII Hero | CPU: i7-6700K @ 4.6GHz | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengance LPX DDR4 | GPU: GTX TITAN X (Maxwell) | SSD1: 256GB NVMe SSD System | SSD2: 250GB Games | HDD 4TB WD Red
mwd2 Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Will TACAN Yardstick give me only the distance between two aircrafts (in this case F-5E) or also the direction?

viperdogsnake Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 DME will only be displayed as mentioned above. Many will complain that DME doesn't tell them squat, this is incorrect. I can see if I'm going relatively the same direction by a stable distance. If its increasing I'm going away from each-other, and vice versa if its decreasing. You can even use yardstick in a flight of more then two to get ranging to the lead aircraft. For an example: Lead sets 30X and the other wingmen set 93X. Both the wingmen should get their prospective distance to the lead aircraft, all this being Line-of-sight dependent. My squad, we've begun to implement it during every flight with the F-5 and it makes a huge difference. You hear the normal grumblings about having to set it before takeoff, but eventually they become total advocates. on
