reported A/A Tacan (Yardsitck) not functional.

Condition: I noticed this in Ground Pounder Sims newest campaign. Seems like the AI yardstick function is not working. Unaware if this is an MP issue as well.

Probable Cause: AI never transmits tacan.

Reproduce: Set AI unit in ME to transmit tacan, set tacan number (i.e. 27Y). Attempt to get yardstick information in mission by tuning to a tacan freq. 63 channels above or below the other units tacan.

Attached are two tracks, one with the AI 18 set to 27Y and I attempt to tune to 90Y. The other with the F-16, same exercise.

Okay so i did test the multiplayer aspect of the yardstick and it is working as expected, so this appears to be an AI only issue. Attached is the Multiplayer track I recorded with a second account, with the yardstick working as expected.

I am looking into this, from what I can see, TACAN only works with Tankers, Carriers, airfields or player controlled aircraft. Meaning not with AI, but I am not sure why. So I will dig a little deeper.
