Foul Ole Ron Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I made a quick mission for practicing AAR but getting an issue with the TACAN functionality. I added the Stennis and at waypoint 0 ordered it to activate TACAN 1X and gave it the sign CVN. I then added a S-3 tanker and ordered it to activate TACAN 99X and gave it the sign TKR. Once I started the mission I couldn't find the S-3 using 99X even though I started only 10 miles away from it. When I put the TACAN to 1X however it showed me the sign TKR on the HUD and directed me towards the S-3 and not the Stennis. I've attached the .miz file.Persian Gulf FA-18C AAR.miz
CrimsonGhost Posted June 2, 2018 Posted June 2, 2018 I think I had a similar issue when the PG map came out. If I remember correctly, what I did was have all my tankers and the carrier move a short distance from WP0 and then activate the TACAN at WP1. Try that out and see if it works. i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind
discwalker Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 There is a tendency in the mission editor to not update the default 1X TKR!! GTX 1070 8GB, 16GB DDR3, W8.1 on SSD, DCS on another SSD
Bravo Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I have seen this myself and it seems you have to go in and edit waypoint 0 "Advanced waypoint action" options after you have added the TCN to get it to work.
Foul Ole Ron Posted June 3, 2018 Author Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks Bravo - that did the trick. Seems like a bit of a bug that you have to go through 2 steps to get the required end result but it's easy to workaround I guess once you know what to look out for.
