TACAN BCN + TWS MAN

[Leviathan667]

Hi,

 

I've been looking for answers on those two topics:

 

Has TACAN BCN it been implemented? If so, how does it work (the manual does not cover this)? And does BCN stand for beacon, meaning I can set my plane as an AA TACAN station for others to look for?

 

Does TWS MAN allow for the RIO to establish the targets order of engagement or only the radar antenna elevation?

 

I noticed the TWS AUTO does not attribute an order of engagement to enemy tracks anymore and read somewhere this functionality has been disabled. Is it true?

 

Thanks

Hi!

 

The TACAN BCN function was never implemented in the real aircraft and is thus non-functional in the DCS F-14 as well.

 

In regards to TWS the main difference between MAN and AUTO is that the RIO can control search volume in size and direction. The target prioritization is always done by the WCS. It can however by changed by setting tracks as friendly which will drop them as a valid target as well as setting them as next launch which will change hooked track on the TID to the number 1 track. We will likely implement mandatory attack and do not attack as well which will also include or exclude tracks from the prio. No date on that function though.

 

TWS AUTO should also set track prios as in MAN but AUTO is currently not functional as we're busy coding the logic to control the antenna search volume.
