Mr_sukebe Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I couldn't help but notice that most of the airfields don't have TACAN. Furthermore, I couldn't get a lock to the Tacan that's supposedly at the airfield in the Oman. Anyone know if this is deliberate?

Phantom453 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Yes, I was surprised that some large military bases, also used my Western coalition forces in RL don't have a TACAN - Al Minhad for example. Not sure if this is correct or not? I think you will find the TACAN in Oman at Khsab (84X) is working but but that the signal from it is significantly attenuated by the terrain around that airfield. If you fly higher or to the North of the airfield you do indeed get a signal from it. I also noted that the TACAN on Tnub Kochak Island (89X) works, but that there is no audible tone (morse signal) from that TACAN.

goestrip Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Indeed, but most of them have VOR stations, which are , as you mentioned, quite weak/attenuated too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan667 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I noticed there’s no ILS help on the HUD of the mirage when landing at Al Dhafra. Actually the map shows only one VOR beacon for two airstrips. I wonder if this is temporary?

Spathiphyllum Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 What I find weird, in the mission editor Kerman airport seems to have a TACAN at channel 57 but when in game, the F10 MAP does not show this and there is obviously no TACAN available. What is the "57" after the VOR at Kerman then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobi1304 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Well, regarding TACAN it would be nice to have mobile TACAN like AN/TRN-26 which, for example, was deployed by the German Air Force in Mazar-I-Sharif in Afghanistan. That could be put manually on any airfield the missionbuilder want it to have. vCVW-17 / VF-74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
