There's an interesting "I'm Lost" function that works over the R-800 communications radio. That may provide a similar service. I don't think there are any mobile ADFs in DCS but I could easily be wrong.

 

Request Azimuth

The “I'm Lost” request is sent to an automatic radio beacon at the air base when an aircraft loses situational awareness in flight. In real life, this request is sent when navigation equipment has failed, during inclement weather, or at night. The request is sent on a specific frequency of 130.0 MHz. Once received, the air controller replies with the heading information to the airfield. This is modeled the same way in the simulation. If you lose situational awareness, you can tune the R-800 radio to 130.0 MHz and send an “I'm Lost” request. The heading to the nearest airfield or landing area will then be sent. To reach it, you need to change the helicopter's heading to the specified value.

 

Before sending an ”I'm Lost“ request, you need to tune the R-800 to 130.0MHz. Once a reply is received, you will need to change the frequency back to the airfield's predefined frequency (default 127.5 MHz) in order to communicate with the control tower.

any feedback EvilBivol? It could make for some really interesting mission scripting...
