Sylosis Posted April 22, 2021 Posted April 22, 2021 Is this a F18 bug, or a DCS bug, or the campaign? The TACAN beacon given for each tanker doesn't work in any of the mission.

gachatar Posted April 23, 2021 Posted April 23, 2021 It works for me. Did you switch to A/A TACAN mode and held down ON/OFF to turn it on?

Pretty sure I did, but I have had issues with TACAN lately. It doesn't always turn on when I push the button and sometimes I don't notice. I'll double check, especially since it works for others.

If you do a very short click it will not register, you need to hold down the ON/OFF button for a second.
baltic_dragon Posted April 26, 2021 Posted April 26, 2021 I checked and had no trouble with tankers TACAN in A/A mode. Maybe what gachatar says? For more information, please visit my website.

BigBopper Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 What am i doing wrong? Im on mission 02, 20.000ft between WPT 2-3 for AAR. Radar is OPR, INS on IFA, TCAN is 55x and set to :A/A and :T/R and is ON On MPCD i have HSI page, TCN selected but TCAN ponter just spins on HSI These screenshots are taken like 20 feet behind the tankers basket. When i turned TCAN on i was 40-50nm from him. Thanks guys. Love the campaign, and love the novel !!
Pheonix0869 Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 From what I understand, you do not want to select A/A for tanker Tacans. They are similar to ground based Tacans. The A/A is reserved for "fighter-fighter" transmission and reception. So try locating the tanker without the A/A option. 1
