sBinnala64 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Hi. I've been trying to use the TACAN on the Tomcat, and I was trying to tune to a carrier, but for some reason when I pulled up the Jester menu, I hit NAVIGATION->TACAN->TUNE TAC(Tune TACAN) but for some reason, the Stennis would not show up on the TUNE TACAN page. Keep in mind that I had: - TACAN set to 74X; same as the Stennis; in both seats. - Had the Stennis' TACAN set to 74X - TACAN in TRANSMIT/RECEIVE mode (I was in the air so it was automatically set at T/R) - Same radio frequency as the Stennis (I was even on it's datalink) Now I could tune it to a ground station and a tanker just fine, but not the carrier. Anything I'm doing wrong, is it just a bug or a problem with Jester?
Nealius Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Symptoms point to the TACAN task not being enabled for the carrier in the Mission Editor.
sBinnala64 Posted November 2, 2023 Author Posted November 2, 2023 no I have the TACAN for the stennis enabled (it's set to 74X)
rob10 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 Not sure if it does in the F-14, but in the F-18 you can check the 1st page of the Kneeboard and it has the carrier frequency and TCN automatically filled in. Check if it's there or not (if you have the F-18 check in it). Otherwise post your mission and/or a track file and we won't have to try to guess the problem. 1
2circle Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Also make sure the TACAN is linked to the correct unit in the Mission Editor. You'll have to select the CVN 74 in the drop down for it to fully work. My problem is I can never seem to get it to work off a tanker...

Flappie Posted December 22, 2023 Posted December 22, 2023 Another thing to check is that you can actually see the carrier in your mission. Some mods cause the disappearance of ships. ---
