Tanker TACAN

[VML_robáG]

Hello everyone!

Now I'm playing FTB mission 11 and the TACAN frequency of the S-3B tanker is not working when set to A/A in the F-14.

I looked in the mission editor, I think a setting is missing and that's why TACAN is not good when I search with it set to A/A. (I have attached a screen save).

I looked at the tanker setup from the 1 to the 11 and I saw this everywhere

!!! Spoiler alert for developers only or at your own risk !!!

The Ranger carrier arrives in the 9th mission, but it's not perfect there either. In mission 9, when viewed with the editor, the Vilson carrier model was visible for a flash and then changed to the ARA Santa Fe sub model.

One more comment, maybe the TACAN channels could not be used by ships (Ranger 61X, Roosevelt 71X) and set the 4-character radio call sign in the CallSign setting (Ranger - NHKG, Roosevelt - NNTR)?

I made a list of carriers.txt with a couple of carrier callsigns, and I'll also attach it if what I found is useful.

That is strange because I've tested these missions for years and the tanker TACAN always worked. I have a hunch that they got reverted due to some DCS bug in an update. I'll fix them again.

This being said, A/A TACAN has been broken in DCS for over a year, so even after the fix it probably won't work.

There's absolutely nothing I can do about this in the editor, I'm a mission designer not one of ED's programmers

Thanks a lot, it's very useful, I didn't know these!

Continuing to try and get some sort of response, update, or acknowledgement from ED in regards to A/A Tacan. For whatever reason, for months now, they are not wanting to acknowledge it. But will continue to bump here:

You saw what BN said in that post you linked right? I would not expect a fix from ED until somebody can provide a declassified proof to them that in fact it is NOT working as intended.

Yes, please see the numerous references of unclassified proof in the same thread. Thanks,

Maybe it will fix it if you reset the Forrestal model again, I would have tried it, but the save doesn't work for obvious reasons

If have that proof email it to ED. For years I have seen that posting here doesn't cut it most of times.
