Hi there, 

we still have some work to do in the TACAN, I will ask the team about this feature. 

edit: we have a report open internally, hopefully a tweak will be coming soon. 

thank you

@Vital061270 Thanks for that link, but for some reason, I cant get TACAN to power "ON". I went through the manual, but nothing I could find to figure out why when I press the button, TACAN wont switch to ON? Something else I suspect needs to be turned on elsewhere?

The TCN option on the power menu doesn't work yet, but is basically "on" at power-up. You can get to TCN controls from pressing CNI twice (NAV RADIOS menu). In the current patch changing the mode doesn't appear to work, and only works as receive-only.

In fact the TACAN itself is working, but you can't switch to the T/R mode, so you only have the bearing, and not the distance.

TACAN works even from a cold start. On the POWER page, pressing the R3 (TCN) button does not change the OFF indication, but TACAN starts to operate.  Probably should be fixed. And when TACAN works, you can see only the direction (azimuth) to the beacon.

@Vital061270 Thank you both, that clears that up for me.
