104th_Maverick Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I've noticed a lot of people are having trouble using the carrier TACANS while flying online with missions that have carrier waypoints so I threw together this tutorial for you guys to explain how you work around the issue. It shows how to set up Carrier TACAN, patrols, ICLS and place Static Objects on your carrier decks! Hope it helps :thumbup: Edited September 17, 2018 by [Maverick] [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 104th Phoenix Wing Commander / Total Poser / Elitist / Hero / Chad www.104thPhoenix.com www.facebook.com/104thPhoenix My YouTube Channel
donkeyrider Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Fantastic - I've been looking for something like this!
Vannipo Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Thank u very much! I dont understand, why u make all this with triggered actions. And repeating it. I just switch on ILS and TACAN in the waypoint 0 and it stays on for the mission. Or will it all switch off, if the ship passes the waypoint 1? That waypoint I didnt reach right now. :)
Banman Posted September 18, 2018 Posted September 18, 2018 Great Vid. The TACAN on a mission I made was not working and I'm going to give this a try! i7-8700K (6 Core, 12MB Cache, 4.6GHz) 32 GB DDR4 XMP @ 2933MHz, GTX 1080Ti w/ 11GB GDDR5X, Windows 10 Pro, 256GB SSD, TM Warthog Stick & Throttle, TM TPR Pedals, TrackIR5
104th_Maverick Posted September 18, 2018 Author Posted September 18, 2018 I dont understand, why u make all this with triggered actions. And repeating it. Online when a ship passes a waypoint the TACAN goes off. Setting up the repeating trigger will work around this problem.

Vannipo Posted September 19, 2018 Posted September 19, 2018 ;3629514']Online when a ship passes a waypoint the TACAN goes off. Ah, ok. Thank u. That's what I didn't know. So, with your workaround, which is very nice, it could be, that the ship could have up to 10 minutes no TACAN/ICLS. If passing a waypoint shortly after a new started interval...? Could happen, I think. Regards Vannipo

Could happen, I think. Yes, then worst case you would have to orbit for 10 mins until it comes back on. Or you could change the trigger time to 300 seconds (5 minutes) instead.

IceFire Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 The Bug is not only waypoint bound, We only have one waypoint in mission and it still turns off. I hope they fix this because it's crazy.

Ramsay Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 The Bug is not only waypoint bound, We only have one waypoint in mission and it still turns off. Are you sure it's the carrier TACAN that turns off and not an aircraft fault. I'm seeing a very similar TACAN fault in the F/A-18C to that in the F-5E, where the TACAN stops updating distance and bearing after a period of time. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
IceFire Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 In multiplayer it simply ceases to function on the Stennis for all aircraft. F18, AV-8B. The Tarawa works every time, all the time from what I've encountered, it's a problem with the Stennis.
