Furia Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Well the problem with this is that the Tacan of Batumi in DCS World actually does not exist in real life and it is not on located on DCS World in the same location the NDB is located on the jeppesen Chart. They are around 1 NM away So if you fly to the tacan, all your angles, distance, intercept courses..... are wrong. I found a temporary solution to this some time ago and I have actually created a template with all the real navigation aids and waypoints foe Georgia. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/38356/ Basically this creates Nav points you can use in your CDU thus selecting them as Steepoints. You will have your HSI needle pointing to that point that simulates the NDB station. Until we do have the capability of creating our own TACAN in DCS World (The A-10 does not have ADF) this can be a good temporary solution for that.

Ebs Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Furia, I actually posted a link to that Navpoint template earlier in this thread. Thanks for that, I do indeed use it. I realise a lot of this is limited to what we can do in DCS but as for the TACAN beacon being a bit off position, it doesn't really make that much difference. All TACAN beacons in DCS are situated directly in the centre of the airbase....It's close enough. We can indeed add extra TACAN stations to DCS World - http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101090 ;) Edited April 20, 2013 by Ebs spelling Check out my guide to JSGME for DCS World.
