BlueAngel Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Hi At first I thought this would be an issue with the Heatblur Tomcat, but after much flying and trials, I believe this is a general issue within DCS World and not exactly related to any specific module. TACANs seem to be working erratically. Sometimes they work flawlessly, other times you don't get them to work, even if tuned repeatedly around other channels. I can't find a way to replicate this as it seems random. It happens both in MP servers or user created missions. I checked all freqs to be correct in Mission Editor. Sometimes it works, other times it won't. There aren't any duplicated freqs and I am always within range. Happens with the Hornet, Tomcat, Harrier, Mirage, heck, pretty much all aircraft. It also seems to affect ICLS as it suffers from the same erratic behavior.

Svsmokey Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 At least using Voiceattack/Vaicom Pro , same with ATC comms . Hit-and-miss , at least in VR . The only comm that acts reliably is refueling/rearming . Problem lies in DCS as commands are recognised/repeated , but often result in no reply , using the same radio settings with which i do occasionally get a reply . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
BlueAngel Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 I'm glad to see it's not just me. (except the discount Jerry Seinfeld and his sun issues up there). If this is a general bug, I'm kind of taken aback it's not been more broadly reported and addressed. In fact, if I search "TACAN" in the forums, there are no recent topic on it, except mine reporting this in the Heatblur F-14 section (when I thought it was module specific). So, ED, there's an issue with the TACAN reliability in this simulator. Can you please take a look?

Nooch Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 I can confirm that, there are indeed regular issues with TACAN in DCS, and with all modules, not one in particular. It's been like this for over a year. It's about time they fix it... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

BlueAngel Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 On a related note: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234788 Interesting read. So there are degraded channels for TACAN? Does this mimic real life or is it just a DCS quirk? "The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods.
