[CANNOT REPRODUCE, MISSING TRACK] New TACAN bug?

[equinox137]

After this latest update, my TACAN doesn't work at all. The icon doesn't show up on the HSI, there is only bearing info, but no distance, can't use CSEL anymore, and T/R no longer works. I had to land visually and manually. Is there a new procedure and is TACAN now borked? Thanks.

works for me

 

 

are you sure you are on the HSI page and not SA?

yes.

here is Boulder City TACAN beacon with CRS line on Nevada map on latest OB.

 

 

try that.

Here is me on the ground at Tonopah. If I press T/R, then the RCV option will blank out. T/R no longer works at all.

 

This worked prior to the automatic update that downloaded last night.

I guessing just my version of DCS is pooched then...

now the thread gets moved....thanks for the "help". what a waste of money

If I press T/R, then the RCV option will blank out.

but thats exactly how its supposed to work.

T/R and RCV are mutually exclusive. the first will compute azimuth and range, the second one only azimuth (so no symbol).

 

 

pic attached is me on Tonopah Test Range Airfield with channel 77 like you. however you are in RCV mode which prevents symbol and CRS line from appearing.

i apologize...what i meant is that if i hit "T/R", RCV does go out, but it will not go into "T/R" mode. That's the trouble I've been having in a nutshell. My TACAN will not go into T/R mode.

[dorianR666]

that is weird

could you upload a track?

[equinox137]

....and now it's working. I don't know, I didn't do anything to it.

 

I appreciate your responding. I've just been very frustrated since getting this module. None of the tutorials for it, especially for A/G, match what this damn thing is supposed to do.

[equinox137]

yeah, i'll upload the track asap... thanks

[dorianR666]

np

 

if it works, it works. :thumbup: if you see it not working again, feel free to upload the track.

 

i know there are some bugs in hornet which appear with a very specific input order.

[equinox137]

Well, the track file is too big to upload. I'll try to duplicate the issue later.

 

Could this have something to do with INS alignment at start up?

Im having issues with TACAN as well. Not working for tankers, aircraft carrier...then again Ive only seen it in Raven One, but that doesnt mean anything as Ive been flying it exclusively these past few weeks.
