Draken35 Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 When A/A option is selected, no DME is provided for airborne TACANS but if you deselect A/A, you will get the DME. Tested with the Harrier (attached track and mission) but it seems to be happening for multiple modules. see av8b-aa-tacan-isssue.trk AA Tacan Test.miz 2
[VFA-12]Matt Murdock Posted December 27, 2021 Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) I didn't yet test to deselect A/A but I have the same problem with F/A 18 and A10C II, no distance since last OB update Edited December 27, 2021 by [VFA-12]Matt Murdock 1

HILOK Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 maybe related to this? dunno exactly what "degraded" is supposed to mean though...
Flappie Posted December 28, 2021 Posted December 28, 2021 Is your issue described in Shadow KT's thread? ---

(sorry not cleat) But just in case: Track/mission are in the OP… Thread you quoted seems to deal with bearing… issue I’m describing is related to DME
QuiGon Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) Hmm, for me A/A mode doesn't recive any signal anymore at all (tested with the Hornet): TACAN test.trk (there are 2 tankers, one on 1X and one on 33X) Edited December 31, 2021 by QuiGon Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
enigma6584 Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Interesting...I've just discovered this myself with the Harrier. Can't seem to get the TACAN symbol to show up anymore, just a bearing but no TACAN symbol in the MFD and I know I've set things up properly in the mission editor and in the cockpit. Glad I'm not going crazy.
enigma6584 Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 I was experimenting with the issue in the Harrier today. Here is what I had found...again, only in the Harrier. I've not tested the TACAN issue with any other fast jet module. First pic. I’m in the mission and I’ve set my TACAN setting on my Harrier to the TACAN frequency of the KC-130 including setting it to A/A. Notice no TACAN symbol but there seems to be a waypoint symbol which moves. I got to think this is a bug. The next two screenshots show nothing changed in my Harrier settings tracking the KC-130 except I switched from A/A to T/R. You see this on the second screenshot here and notice that TACAN symbology does now show up on the MFD. The last screenshot shows same settings but I wanted to check whether the DME distance figures show up on the HUD. They do. The way this is all going down just leads me to think it’s a bug but I really don’t know.
