Hammer_251 Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 My velocity vector does not seem to be working. It is stationary at the top of the HUD. Anyone else having this problem?
Bealdor Posted July 25, 2024 Posted July 25, 2024 Working fine here. Are you 100% sure the INS allignment was finished before releasing the parking brakes and taxiing? 1

Hammer_251 Posted July 26, 2024 Author Posted July 26, 2024 You are both correct, I can't be sure it wasn't...flew the same mission again and double checked everything and yes it works. however the pilot's tacan is not showing the correct distance and direction. I set the tacan in the mission editor to show 71X. Is this correct?

Hammer_251 Posted July 26, 2024 Author Posted July 26, 2024 Right at takeoff on USS T. Roosevelt carrier Tacan showed 270 miles away??? Later after tanking with an S-3 Viking and switching back to 71X about 50 miles behind the carrier I set 71x on the tacan and it still showed 250 miles range. I switched back to the recovery tanker's tacan that was circling the ship and it showed 50 miles. I have a completely re-installed DCS, did the updates like normal, but certain things seem off. One example of this is I can no longer seem to find the SH-3 Sea King in the mission editor. I have it all set up in the countries.lua yet no Sea King.

Well, without knowing which mission, all I can say is double check that you did enter the correct TACAN channel... Also, there is no SH-3 sea king in DCS by default. If you did see one, it was most probably a mod you had installed, or you misremember.
Hammer_251 Posted July 26, 2024 Author Posted July 26, 2024 Yes didn't flip the Y to X on the tacan. The Sea King is in game by default. You simply add the line: cnt_unit( units.Helicopters.Helicopter, "SH-3W"); in the countries.lua in Scripts --> Database. I have used this for years. It is not a mod, it is from DCS World albeit old style graphically.
