Ignition Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Is there a way to place a TACAN on the ground? I know its possible to add ADF but I would like to add an additional TACAN or two.

Hi, Unfortunately giving a ground unit the option of being a TACAN transmitter is not currently possible within DCS at present. It is due to the attributes assigned separately to aircraft, ships and ground units. Maybe in the future this will be amended....we can only hope. Cheers.

Mr_sukebe Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 I do use a temporary workaround, i.e. to place a tanker on the airfield that I'd like a TACAN at, then box it in such that it can't take off. Give the tanker a TACAN channel and jobs a good un'. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

Yurgon Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Is there a way to place a TACAN on the ground? This has been declared as a coming feature a good while ago. We already have the objects available in the ME (Static Objects -> Structures -> TACAN Beacon (Man Portable) TTS 3030, Ground units -> Fortification -> TACAN Beacon (Man Portable) TTS 3030), but I couldn't find any advanced waypoint actions or other ways to actually get these things to transmit anything. Plus, the textures seem to be broken. Looks a lot like WIP. But in any case, works does seem to be in progress. ;) (Unless these came with a mod I installed; I don't think so, but if you don't find these objects, please give me a shout)
