demaske Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 I've looked around and haven't been able to find anything such as bug reports or anyone else having the problem when I try to use the tacan in the a4 I don't get any nav info or mores code from it I've tried the warmup by leaving it in rec for well over 5 mins and still have the same result I usually start cold and dark but the issue is the same even in a hot start I may be missing something but haven't found anything that seems to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacks Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 To confirm, the TACAN on the A-4 can only be used for the carrier and requires certain parameters to be met in the Mission Editor. The A-4 cannot use land based, portable or A2A TACAN.

Have not tried the portable Tacan, as I don't use it on my missions.

Doc3908 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. I've spent the last 2 days trying to get the carrier and tanker TACAN and ICLS to work with the A4v2 and no luck. I can definitely pick up the land-based TACANs, but nothing from the carrier and nothing from the tanker. No ICLS either. The discussion above clarifies the TACAN situation somewhat. Has anyone gotten the ICLS to work? By the way, if I switch to a land-based TACAN, then go back to carrier TACAN (or any other TACAN channel), the last successful TACAN info remains on the display, including the last recorded distance to the TACAN station. That can't be right - I assume if you switch to an invalid TACAN channel, the TACAN would go off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudel_chw Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I’m using v2.0 and Both the Stennis Tacan and fixed land based Tacan works ok, for me. Have not tested Supercarrier nor portable Tacan. Air-air tacan definitively does not work.

Maybe the TACAN works with the Stennis but not with Supercarrier?? Does the ICLS work off the Stennis, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAF_flyer Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 2.0.0 beta 4 So I've tried it with the Melbourne, the Stennis and the Supercarriers, all to no avail. Land Based Tacans do work. The Tacans on the ship work too, as other planes can pick them up. Also I see the behaviour as already mentioned where the last Bearing /Distance remains shown on the RMI, no matter what Channel you select or even turn the Tacan off.

You'll just have to wait on this, the old system for the Ship TACAN will be deprecated next update, it used the mission file and dead reckoning to figure out where the ship would be. I have found a way to get Ship and Tanker positions exactly so a proper TACAN, A/A TACAN and ICLS will come in the next update. As for the tacan remaining when you turn the tacan off can you submit an issue on github please so we can keep track of it https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c/issues 3 Community A-4E-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
