TACAN

 

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or not. When I select right when on the T-ILS page, it won’t turn on TACAN. It continues to say OFF

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?

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.

Is the 'MIDS LVT' rotary set to 'ON' on the avionics power panel (back right of the cockpit)?

 

Beat me to it. Tacan is within the MIDS LVT.

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.

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.

 

 

no of course not. 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?
