cesarferrolho Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I think it doesn't happen all the time (or at least, it didn't use to), but a lot of times, Jester simply can't tune a TACAN as requested via Jester wheel. He tunes the radio to the carrier (in the attached track file example) but does not tune the TACAN. I have to manually tune it myself. In the track file you can see i change several times the TACAN from PLT to NFO, back and forth, and.. he doesn't tune it correctly. Even telling him again to do it. The mission is even a Heatblur Instant Action mission. The TACAN number in the kneeboard is correct as well. Jester_no_TACAN.trk
draconus Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Jester can tune TACAN and does it correctly. In your track you kept choosing radio from Jester menu, which he also sets correctly. You should have asked for Navigation > TACAN > Tune TAC > CVN-71. 3 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

I always thought Tune TAC on the radio menu meant TACAN, and i also think i did work in the past. But you are right it does work that way. Thanks !!!

It might stand for tactical/temporarily assigned channel/talk around channel (only HB knows) but Jester radio sub-menu would never set TACAN.

Maybe what induced me in error is that, in some missions, the TACAN was set to the carrier to start with, and i thought Jester had set it when i told him to, via Radio menu

In carrier operations this will be the carrier's frequency. That's why it works for you most of the time without setting it yourself. Edited April 2 by Bealdor
Joch1955 Posted April 2 Posted April 2 It is always good practice to get JESTER to re-choose the TACAN station you want just to make sure the correct one is set.
