skywalker22 Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 @BIGNEWY any news regarding this topic? There were 2 updates inbetween, but using TACAN is the same as before. Its not working as it used to be, and not as IRL. Just checking, if there has been any work on it. Its not a hurry, but still would be fine to fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARLAN_ Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hopefully this can get fixed soon! Fingers crossed for next patch. 1 Virtual CVW-8 - The mission of Virtual Carrier Air Wing EIGHT is to provide its members with an organization committed to presenting an authentic representation of U.S. Navy Carrier Air Wing operations in training and combat environments based on the real world experience of its real fighter pilots, air intercept controllers, airbosses, and many others.

Wing Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Just going to repost this (since nothing new/thread is not acknowledged yet as "investigating"). Any new word from ED with this? 1 www.v303rdFighterGroup.com | v303 FG Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wing Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 @BIGNEWYabout a month ago, you said this was correct as is. We have now provided more evidence that it is not, yet there has been no further response. Just wanted to confirm this is reported to the team - as it effects all of us who enjoy AAR.

AG-51_Razor Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Go into the ME and click on the tanker, find the waypoint that has the Tacan information in the Advanced (Waypoint Actions) and click on that. The tab that comes up to the left has a check box next to Bearing. For all of the tankers, make sure that this box is UNCHECKED. While in the mission, when you enter the Tacan channel, DO NOT select A/A, keep it on T/R. Now you will find that the Tacan for the tankers is functioning "normally" or rather, as you would expect it to. 3 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chain_1 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) That's a workaround for now, yes, but the issue remains that we should be in in a/a t/r, and that currently doesn't function correctly. We'll see what the next patch notes say. Edit: Looks like this has not been corrected in this patch. @BIGNEWY what can I, or any other tanker bros, do to help convince the team to get this back to the previous correct implementation?

Magicool Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) I also can't get it to work in either mode in the F-16. Neither A/A TR, TCN REC or TCN T/R give me correct brearing to the tanker. Edited June 10, 2022 by Magicool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicool Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 So after talking to several people it seems TACAN breaks on DCS's side after a couple hours, some server have workarounds over the Communications menu but others dont. I got it to work on a server but only in TCN REC and TCN T/R mode which is obviously wrong as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris400 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Any news? This is quite a longstanding bug now and seems very easy to fix. I have heard from many SMEs that tankers have A/A Tacan that only give a range with no bearing. Would be nice to get word from ED on the status of this.

It clearly is not a slipped through bug, but rather their intention it seems. I tried to talk to USMC Hornet driver at EPLK in April when they were there, but I was denied due to the nature of their visit. I do not have any docs to support the original implementation, but if there are docs that are not classified, these must be submitted to ED. You and I been here long enough to know how it works with ED...

Imho there's enough evidence provided on the first page of this thread but there's no devs reaction since then. We don't know if anything more has been submitted in PMs. The ATP-56(B) AIR-TO-AIR REFUELLING (AJP 3.3.4.2) doc was already mentioned, the link was provided. Always A/A TACAN and yardstick mentioned everywhere. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX3060 Rift S T16000M TWCS TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaOH1 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This hasn’t worked for me for a couple months. Flying MP yesterday I realized it was only happening to me. I put in the proper Tacan frequency for my tanker and I’m on send/receive. The tanker shows correct distance but my HSI shows it about 40 degrees from where it actually is. If I fly the bearing I go to the wrong place. Other than another repair (first didn’t fix it) what can I do to correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac.no Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I've had the same, however it might be related to the missionfile and not DCS explicit. Im still investigating on my side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
