Recon21288 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 F16C TACAN Has anyone tried using the TACAN on the Viper yet? I'm following the manual and it says - 1 To select a new station, depress the T-ILS priority function button on the ICP. That displays the TACAN/ILS page on the DED. Information on the TACAN system is displayed on the left half of the page. 2 On the ICP, toggle the DCS switch down to highlight the CHAN field. Use the ICP keypad to type in the new channel. Press ENTR to accept the changes. Well i've followed those directions and it won't let me select the channel. I enter my desired channel and pressed ENTR, it then switches back to channel 1. I've tried using a few different channels and it displays the same issue. Is the manual missing something?

Jansgi Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It might be tied to the TACAN volume knob. Works that way for the ILS at least. Turning a few notches up sets it on.

Delareon Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 But there is still one Bug in this, even when you get the TACAN to work and maybe Wags should consider checking if he really tells all the preferences in his Academic Videos like turning the TACAN On, which should only affect the Volume anyways.... The Label TACAN OFF in the DED is Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Should be corrected some day in EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not an error, OFF label is bigger than normal text. Do you have other information? We will modify it a bit, but it will remain big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks terrible wrong especially if you have a Graphic Design Background then its a punch in the Face :D Maybe its correct to have it bigger but are your sources sure that its that much bigger?

Phantom453 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thank you everyone! I spent ages trying to figure this out/ get this working yesterday. Would have been a useful bit of information to include in the academic video. Where's Redkite??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorgar0 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 And also to add the step to turn on the MIDS LVT knob in the startup procedure. I wouldn't not have figured it out without the help here in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarino111 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hi I had this same problem, and solved it just by turning the MIDS knob to the right (right hand console, all way back, past INS knob and GPS and DL levers). You should have it available. Salute. Saca111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
