A10C and A10 II Tank Killer TACAN and ILS Tuning dose not work

This morning I demonstrated a friend, how to use waypoints, TACAN and the ILS to fly the A10C from Kobuleti to Batumi.  Everything worked fine. You could hear the click sound when changing the freq. and clearly could identify the IDs of the TACN and the ILS.

Starting the same saved mission in the afternoon, we were not able to tune the TACAN channels nor the ILS frequencies. The switiches did not work correctly, not on the A10C nor on the A10 II Tank Killer. We coud change the TACAN channel from X to Y, but not the numbers. Recherches on the internet revealed, that this happend already in the past. Is there a way to fix this issue?
Any help welcome.

That's odd. The TACAN digits are normally adjusted by mouse wheel turning. You may have a damaged \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\A-10C_2\Cockpit\Scripts\clickabledata.lua or similar

Does the mouse wheel circular green arrows show up on mouseover of the tacan channel knob or not?

Hi Frederf

Before something strange happend: Yes! But now a green arrow is showing up on mouse over. With the green arrow over now the volume ring around the tuning knop of the ILS is moving and the green arrow mouse over the TACAN tuning knop is changing only between X an Y channels. No digits are changing. There is no green mouse wheel appearing. Only the green arrow.

I am using the stable Steam Edition of both: the A-10C and A-10II tank killer.
The only action I did was, changing the A-10C against the A-10II tank killer in the Mission Editor. But that should not change to Open Beta.  Changing to A-10C did not help. Same mess on A-10C.

After the chaos with unability to launch DCS on Steam some days ago it is really annoying.

Ah sorry, the ones digit knob does not show a green circular arrow even when working correctly. The tens/hundreds knob does. That's because the ones digit knob also has a mouse click function and so gets the dot-with-up-down-arrows green icon instead.

This also applies to the two ILS knobs, mouse wheel controls the knob and mouse left/right controls the ring. Being a combined function the green dot-with-up-down-arrow icon is used.

For three of the four knobs the only way to change it via mouse is with mouse wheel. The tens/hundreds TACAN knob can be left clicked and dragged as well.
