Support for more maps in Hornet TACAN Database

[Corsac]

Hi,

This is a followup to another thread but specifically about the wishlist parts:

the current TACAN database in the Hornet only includes beacons from Caucasus and Nevada. With some help and a bit of investigation we noticed that the current implementation comes from (DCS)\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Computers\MC_No1.lua and has some issues and missing parts:

• it relies on get_terrain_related_data("name") which doesn't work with maps other than Caucasus or Nevada apparently. I'm not sure if it's an issue in the internal function or something which should be provided by the terrains themselves. Apparently that function is used by a lot of modules and mods so maybe it should be fixed (one way or another), but a workaround is to use get_terrain_related_data("id") (and use the self_ID from entry.lua in the various terrains)
• it only selects specific entries for Caucasus and Nevada. I understand it requires a coordination between ED and the terrain maker but it would be nice to select and add beacons for all the available maps. I think it's especially useful for maps used in cold war scenarios where GPS might not be available, and Cold War Germany is a prime example here. There are examples on the linked thread but obviously ED (and Ugra Media) might have way better idea than us.

I have the feeling this could be rather fixed by implementing it in the DTC but I understand it's a work in progress and I'm not sure when the beacons part is supposed to be implemented.

Any implementation would be ok for me (although currently it's a bit difficult to work with DTC for a lack of real "default" DTC).
