Nealius Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I'm having an issue with the Stennis TACAN. Set to 74X as I always do. Hopped in the jet and flew around, set HSI mode to TCN, got bearing information on my HUD heading tape, bearing degrees, identifier code, and "0.00nm" on my HSI, but absolutely nothing in my HUD. Switch over to Batumi TACAN and I get good DME and ID code. Switch over to KC130 TACAN and again get good DME and ID code. Back to Stennis TACAN and nada. No CRS info when I try to set a course line either. Didn't have this problem prior to update 6.
Manuel_108 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Same for me. Maybe enable your own TACAN code in the meantime. No problems there.
Druid_ Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 when you quit, save a .trk file and post it here. Others can replay it and help you out if you are doing something wrong. i7-7700K : 16Gb DDR4 2800 Mhz : Asus Mobo : 2TB HDD : Intel 520 SSD 240gb : RTX 2080ti: Win10 64pro : Dx10 : TrackiR4 : TM Warthog : ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q
Knives Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 In the advanced waypoint action set a command to enable TACAN. In the TACAN setting select the unit which I usually name it to Stennis. Now multiple units in a group can have thier own TACAN ID and code. Sent from my H8266 using Tapatalk
Knives Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 That doesnt work, patch said so but didnt make it in.Maybe. I didn't test it with multiple units in a group with different TCN. But now you have to select a unit in the TCN action. Because it happened with me as OP. I checked and found I didn't select a unit. Sent from my H8266 using Tapatalk
fmedges Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I had to select the unit in the editor to get it to work as well. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Allied Air Command Website | Allied Air Command Discord
fmedges Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 But you cannot set different tacan for each ship as opposed to what the patch said. Oh. I didn’t try that. I only had the Stennis. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Allied Air Command Website | Allied Air Command Discord
Nealius Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 Selecting the Unit seemed to fix it. I had two other ships in the group as well. It would have been nice to have that explained in the changelog.....
Nealius Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 Here's how I have mine set up. It seems to work fine for me.
Nealius Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 That I don't know. Can't land a Hornet on destroyers so never bothered with them.
Doum76 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Selecting the Unit seemed to fix it. I had two other ships in the group as well. It would have been nice to have that explained in the changelog..... It was mentionned in the changelog that a different tacan can now be attributed to each units in a group. ME. Ships. TACAN can be assigned to exact ship, not whole group.
Doum76 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 That I don't know. Can't land a Hornet on destroyers so never bothered with them. They just didn't think for the Hornet only, but Helicopters can also benefits from a Tacan to land on a ship with Helipad in the Carrier's Battle Group. so they want a Tacan to the Ship, not the carrier i presume. i think.
Doum76 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Yes, but didnt make in Then i am confused, cuz Naelis said selecting the Unit worked for him, not the group. :) EDIT: Actualy it does work, but only on carriers, if you make a group of 3 ships, 1 Stennis, 1 Tarawa and 1 Vinson, all 3 can have each a tacan, maybe the other ships just didn'T had it made it to yet though as only those 3 ships appears on the drop down menu on the Advanced Waypoint Actions in the Activate Tacan.

I don't believe we have any player-controllable helicopters that can use TACAN. I know for a fact the Huey and Hip don't have TACAN receivers.

Sad. :( On my side i never encoutered any problem, as forces of habit i always selected the Carrier's in the group to set the Tacan, well to be honest, the Carrier was always the number one unit and alwayss elected unit #1, maybe that's why i never had what you had. Only time i had issues with Tacan was when i logged onto Apex server, for some reason once in a while the Tacan was just not registering and spining around. :)
