Ziptie Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 if i download a mission that the creator has left tacan and radio freqs out of the briefing, how do i find them? press f10 and then click on the icon of the location you wish to source the tacan from. it will show on the bottom left of the map page after you click on said icon. shows radio freq's and other info as well. cheers. i7 6700 @4ghz, 32GB HyperX Fury ddr4-2133 ram, GTX980, Oculus Rift CV1, 2x1TB SSD drives (one solely for DCS OpenBeta standalone) Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs Airframes: A10C, A10CII, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-16C, UH=1H, FC3.

Not 100% sure about that one. I would think it would be similar (as in click on icon of tanker / AWACS / etc.) Not sure though, haven't ever tried to refuel in the air yet. I know what would happen... i7 6700 @4ghz, 32GB HyperX Fury ddr4-2133 ram, GTX980, Oculus Rift CV1, 2x1TB SSD drives (one solely for DCS OpenBeta standalone) Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS, Thrustmaster Cougar MFDs Airframes: A10C, A10CII, F/A-18C, F-14B, F-16C, UH=1H, FC3.

TL;DR: TACAN and radio info is usually given in the briefing (LAlt+B) but in this case the S-3 Tacan info is missing, however the S-3 TACAN is not transmitting, so this may be by design. The S-3's position is on the data link and it orbits between the C2 AWACS and carrier group at M0.6@15,000ft on the Hornet's SA page - if you wish to rendezvous without using the F10 map. Note: the 5th briefing picture has your radio info, the S-3 Tanker is on Channel 4, 256 MHz Detail The S-3 tacan isn't activated i.e. the TACAN 38X line is there but it's advanced waypoint action has no unit selected - so it's not transmitting.
