FA18 TACAN & ADF tutorial doesn't work

Recommended Posts

I am trying to work my way through the FA18 tutorials. The ADF part of the Navigation tutorial works OK but the TACAN part doesn't.

 

At one point the instruction is to enter "TACAN code 67 on UFC then ENTER. After entering 67X press spacebar to continue". I cannot see how to enter X.

 

Once I have pressed the spacebar new information should appear on the HUD and HSI but nothing new shows. I have tried this step a number of times but have not yet seen the new information.

 

Where am I going wrong, please? I tried using the Chat function to ask this question but no one replied.

 

Thank you,

You do not need to enter X but there should be an OSB button that has a colon on the Up Front Controller (UFC) to indicate X or Y, see below:

See Item Number 6 for the colonized X OSB. If you wanted Y you would select the round OSB next to Y and the colon would then be on the Y line.

 

This information is from Chuck's Guide, all credit goes to him for a great product found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q2vH0WLm5mdu2U3GX8AkB1z6iIP-I_sF

 

His manual is a great place to start for getting to know any of the modules.
