equinox137 Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Can someone take a look at this refueling training mission i set up and see why I can't pick up the Tanker's TACAN or see the tanker on radar at all? Thanks F-18C Training - Refueling.miz

Cruizzzzer Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 The TACAN wasnt bound to the tanker (unit), that is why it didnt work... Changed it... should work now F-18C Training - Refueling.miz
Cruizzzzer Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 This would be analog to an ILS or TACAN on a supercarrier. They always not only be set up as by identifier and channel, but need to be bound to the unit (supercarrier / tanker / jtac...) in order to work... Hope everything works now and have fun with refueling!

Cruizzzzer Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 Just had a thought and dont mind me asking: When trying to receive the tacan, do you set up and select on the ufc "a/a"? Cause this is the way to receive an airborne tacan. If not doing so, you wont receive a signal

Cruizzzzer Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) Pete is right!!! In the briefing info you wrote down TACAN SHL 21X, but in the ME the TCN assigned was 1X. As I only changed the TCN binding to the tanker I didn't check the briefing info of what you have written. So just dial in 1X A/A and everything should work... Things happen. Some things are minor but have a major outcome... Changed the briefing info to "Tanker KC-130 TACAN "SHL" 1X... Now you should be having fun with refueling. Cheers!

equinox137 Posted February 15, 2021 Author Posted February 15, 2021 I appreciate it. 1X works. But what did you change? I looked into the adv waypoint settings and everything looks the same?
Cruizzzzer Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 look at my first post in this thread (SAT 09:39)... I only bound the TCN to the tanker in order to work... this has done the magic

Cruizzzzer Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) yap, right... you (equinox) assigned 1X... in the mission briefing you wrote 21X. that was the problem when I do missions, I write down the data in parallel to avoid this... but anyway... things happen, and we always learn from this... good that it works now! cheers Edited February 15, 2021 by Cruizzzzer
