TACAN distance?

[majapahit]

Can't be right can it now?

 

TCN in HUD view 20.1nm

"TKR" is activated in 'group' 'action' "ActivateBeacon" at waypoint 0 start

 

You see the boat at 10 o'clock, that's not 20.1nm

 

 

?

Doesn't TKR mean Tanker? The carrier has a different acronym.

I made a group by raising "1of",

then changed type of boat.

 

Perhaps there's a boat out of view, I swear I Tacan'd Stennis.

I'll check

It depends on whether this has been set differently in the Mission Editor. Having just tried it, the Stennis TACAN on action defaults to "TKR" (at least on my machine). Will now go and fly the mission to try and see ranges :-)

Mine works correctly :thumbup:

 

 

In the mission editor advanced (waypoint actions) did you set the Unit at the bottom of the TACAN setting options to the ship? In mine it defaults to no unit for the action

Assuming you've tuned to the Stennis (rather than a tanker), there's a general DCS 2.5.x bug were TACAN distance and direction stop updating after a time.

 

It's possible you encountered that - turning the TACAN OFF and ON, usually fixes it.
