VTJS17_Fire Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hi, IIRC air assets use the Y channel for A/A TACAN, so I placed a KC-135 tanker (I know, it's not the correct aerial refueling system) and gave it the 1Y, and later the 11Y channel. What I noticed: 1. You can't enter a TACAN channel with a 0 in front (01 for example), because the first digit in the Mirage is available from 1 to 12. There isn't a 0. Is that right? 2. Either A/A mode or the Y channel isn't working. I got the A/G TACAN signals from different airfields (but with false distance), but I couldn't get a signal from the KC-135. A/A mode on the TACAN panel checked.

Aginor Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 1: I think I read that is a bug and already reported. 2: No clue yet. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redglyph Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 In 1.5.3.51218.38: - you still cannot select 0 for the tens (so you can't use channels 0-9) - the animation is wrong when the channel is wrapping around, the digit is appearing at once instead of rotating System specs: Win7 x64 | CPU: i7-4770K | RAM: 16 GB | GPU: GTX 980 Ti 6 GB | Thrustmaster HOTAS | MFG rudder pedals | SATA3 SSD | TrackIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_Hood Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I tested A/A TACAN shortly after release, I'm not surprised it still doesn't work, but I would love to see that in the future. A few things about A/A TACAN, though, according to my understanding of the system : - X or Y channel have nothing to do with A/A TACAN, you can do A/A in X channel - although yes, Y channel is mostly used for A/A mode - in A/A mode, you have to tune a frequency 63 channels apart to get the distance (and you only get the distance). So if your KC-135 is on channel 11Y, you would tune to 74Y. - you should be able to do that with another Mirage 2000 or A-10C, in theory, and get the distance from him - the KC-135 (IRL) AFAIK only has A/A mode, so it will only give a distance (therefore I suppose you would use A/A mode), while the KC-10 has a full TACAN with distance and bearing (I therefore suppose you would use T/R mode, not A/A mode). In DCS the KC-135 has the full TACAN while it shouldn't (although I think I saw in the editor it can be set to give only the distance). I must admit I don't even know if it is properly implemented in the A-10C. 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTJS17_Fire Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just a note: TACAN is now full working, thanks to Zeus ... once more. :thumbup: A/A TACAN and Y channel working like a charme and since the last patch, you can also set one digit channels (1 for example). Be aware: there isn't a 0 in the first dial, it's just empty. This makes formation flying without visual more easier. :pilotfly: Hardware: Intel i5 4670K | Zalman NPS9900MAX | GeIL 16GB @1333MHz | Asrock Z97 Pro4 | Sapphire Radeon R9 380X Nitro | Samsung SSDs 840 series 120GB & 250 GB | Samsung HD204UI 2TB | be quiet!
