diditopgun Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Hi! If I set KC-135MPRS TACAN to 55X in mission editor, in flight the kneebord display 55Y. And whatever I select X or Y in cockpit, both work.

Super Grover Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This is normal. DCS automatically assigns Y frequencies to the air-to-air TACAN modes. So even when you select X, it uses Y. But because Y is more natural to the air-to-air modes, we present the channels as Y in the kneeboard and Jester menu.

diditopgun Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Ah… Ok. I never saw it mentioned before, ED hide it to us ? ^^ Thanks !

Damcopter Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) Hi, this post questioned me. Like Diditopgun, I saw it in the kneeboard and thought that it was a bug. Super Grover you tell us that Y is more natural to air-air modes. Is it only for the Tomcat? I ask you that question because I use Tacan in air-air mode every week IRL during formation flight with helicopters (I am Pilot in French Air Force) and we use either X or Y mode with no difference and no restriction. Y mode is simply not used in DCS or was it the Tomcat that never used X mode? Apart from that question, let me use this post to directly say something to your HB team: CONGRATULATIONS GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! The Tomcat is so "alive"! The Tomcat seems to be so real! I am sure 2019 March 13th became THE beginning of a new Era in aviation simulation. Cheers Dam Edited March 24, 2019 by Damcopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Grover Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) Sir, I don't know what Armée de l'Air use, and it would be very impolite from my side to suggest your magnificent air force using any channel or frequency. I'm sure that you and your colleagues from the air force are very proficient in using both X and Y, and even Z if that highly classified TACAN range existed. I can only speak for DCS. Here, when we scan for TACAN stations in range, the only information available about each station is the frequency, and as you certainly know, both X and Y in the air to air mode have the same frequencies. There is no other difference between X and Y in DCS. We had to make a choice, and we selected Y because the receiver frequencies in the air to air mode are the same as the Y frequencies for the ground mode. That is what I meant when I wrote that it was a more natural choice for the air to air TACAN. I hope that you can accept this little simplification of the TACAN system in DCS and that you will be able to enjoy both DCS and the F-14. Once again please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding.
