BigMotor Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi, is anyone having this problem? Map display is fine, for example 30 miles from TACAN 1X. However HUD display will be wildly off (135,300 changing rapidly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzy Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yes, I can only assume it is feet, and yes the display changing that way is pretty annoying. Divide by 6000 and you'll get something near NM.... better still unbox it and just use the bearing unless of course you're short on gas. I've no idea if it is staying or was a slip... the HUD symbiology appears to be in a state of flux and RAZBAM info about it is pretty tight lipped for whatever reason. Note you have 2 altimeter read outs all the time now as well.... above 5K you see one preceded with a D - I think that's for digital - GPS but no idea...

shagrat Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 HUD has been updated to the new vector graphics engine according to a change note I read. So likely a bug in conversion of the TACAN distance. Best way is to do a bug report. The leading D is indeed for GPS calculated altitude, if Radar altimeter is not producing valid results, according to Razbam.

Chaders Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah TACAN distance is showing in feet o the HUD for me too after the recent patches. It’s making me learn my 6 times table ???????????? Best Regards, Chaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Note in MP and lengthy SP sessions TACAN is known to just stop working for all aircraft. Follow the bearing in, when you do not have visual on the tanker. Remember you should be in A/A mode. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltabri Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I reported it in the bug section. Thought the distance was now in meters :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
