w.i.p TACAN Power Indication

[Steph-JJ]

At the CDU-Power-Page TACAN shows permant "OFF", but it goes on by pressing the button.

[Rongor]

There is no TACAN indication anyway. All you can do is listen to the morse IDs.

But it should show "ON" instead of "OFF".

You can see the TACAN direction in the HSD.
Press B4 (OVLY) and box R9 (TACBRG)

couldn't find this so far, where to set the mode? Only found channel entry in the CNI page

Hey all.

As mentioned in the changelog, some CDU pages and some features are still work in progress. This includes several xmit/receive features.

Thank you for your patience, we're working on it.

I think this would be correct: "many CDU pages and many features are still work in progress" But that's absolutely ok

Ill get back too you but its a CDU page somewhere. Think the same page you tupe in the tacan freq on the left starts TR then click the LSK to change

Thanks!! I thought TACAN was not implemented yet

Turns out the only problem is that there is no indication that there is a clickable submenu on the CNI page for TACAN, but you can press the 2nd left button to access the TCN control page and activate T/R there

Hope this may help someone/anyone
Just had a play today! I’m sure many more experts out there will comment if I’ve got this incorrect

Yes, it is possible to set TACAN frequency in the CNI page on the CDU, it is also possible to display the TACAN arrow on the HSD: on HSD full page, click "OVLY" (at the bottom) once or twice, and there should be a TACAN option next to one of the MFD buttons. Push it to display TACAN direction. HOWEVER, there is a bug, it will not show the distance to the TACAN

[Schlomo1933]

It is showing the distance for Tacan. You need to switch it from R (receive) to T/R (track and receive).

- in FD hit the button for return 

-in this menu where u enter the tacan code, switch on the left side from R to TR.

-u will see the distance in to the slected tacan station
