How to add TACAN to tanker?

[johnboy]

Hi Guys,

 

How can I add a TACAN to a (KC-135) tanker in the mission editor? I simply want to provide the ability for the player to find the tanker by vectoring on a TACAN signal, but I can't find any way of installing/adding a TACAN radio (with a designated frequency) to the tanker.

 

Any ideas?

Advanced options when your editing unit allows the adding of tacan.

Check out my jtac guide in Sig for explanation of advanced wp menu

I think whenever I add a tanker in the ME it already has the activate tacan item already in the menu but its greyed out and I can never edit it. I always just deleted it then add a new "activate tacan" and then I can edit it at will. I have no idea if this is a common method or what, its just what I do to make it work, hope it helps.

Thanks guys, especially Cibit. The JTAC guide is excellent, and solved the problem. Thanks!

For the KC-130, this can conceivably be done using the Moose framework AATACAN. For what it's worth, I tried this myself and had some problems with the Moose TACAN possibly interfering with other TACANs in the game, even though they were set up on different frequencies.

Here is a mod to allow TACAN to be used with RAZBAM's KC130
