Maachine Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 tried to make a mission with some of my weaknesses. refueling is one of them. i cant for the life of me contact the tanker. a few questions..... 1. when you set the radio channel for a new flight, i'm assuming its VHF AM correct? 2. i have the advance waypoint setup so the tanker will change to the correct comms and turn on it's TACAN. is this the correct way to do this? 3. will comms work if i have the tanker's channel set to the same channel as an airport? did that by accident. thanks guys
Grimes Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 1. The "comm" frequency on the main group info bar is in VHF AM. However using advanced waypoints you can set VHF AM and VHF FM frequencies. 2. When you place a tanker it sets the TACAN on by default to 1X on the first waypoint. You can simply change this value to what you need the TACAN to be. 3. Yes as long as you are tuned to the same frequency and use the correct radio. You can also set the VHF FM frequency for the tanker and communicate via that radio. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Maachine Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) i figured it out. i had to set the tanker to tanker "mode" in the advanced waypoint settings under "start enroute task". thats all i was missing. i had the TACAN and comms right. almost had it on my first try, but i went a little too fast and crashed into the boom. instant death. first kill on my pilot.
