equinox137 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Can someone take a look at this refueling training mission i set up and see why I can't pick up the Tanker's TACAN or see the tanker on radar at all? Thanks F-18C Training - Refueling.miz Link to post Share on other sites

Cruizzzzer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The TACAN wasnt bound to the tanker (unit), that is why it didnt work... Changed it... should work now F-18C Training - Refueling.miz Link to post Share on other sites
Cruizzzzer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 This would be analog to an ILS or TACAN on a supercarrier. They always not only be set up as by identifier and channel, but need to be bound to the unit (supercarrier / tanker / jtac...) in order to work... Hope everything works now and have fun with refueling! Link to post Share on other sites

equinox137 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 No TACAN and nothing on radar. Link to post Share on other sites
Cruizzzzer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Weird... gonna look at it tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites
Cruizzzzer Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Just had a thought and dont mind me asking: When trying to receive the tacan, do you set up and select on the ufc "a/a"? Cause this is the way to receive an airborne tacan. If not doing so, you wont receive a signal Link to post Share on other sites

Cruizzzzer Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Pete is right!!! In the briefing info you wrote down TACAN SHL 21X, but in the ME the TCN assigned was 1X. As I only changed the TCN binding to the tanker I didn't check the briefing info of what you have written. So just dial in 1X A/A and everything should work... Things happen. Some things are minor but have a major outcome... Changed the briefing info to "Tanker KC-130 TACAN "SHL" 1X... Now you should be having fun with refueling. Cheers!

equinox137 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I appreciate it. 1X works. But what did you change? I looked into the adv waypoint settings and everything looks the same? Link to post Share on other sites
Cruizzzzer Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 look at my first post in this thread (SAT 09:39)... I only bound the TCN to the tanker in order to work... this has done the magic Link to post Share on other sites

Cruizzzzer Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) yap, right... you (equinox) assigned 1X... in the mission briefing you wrote 21X. that was the problem when I do missions, I write down the data in parallel to avoid this... but anyway... things happen, and we always learn from this... good that it works now! cheers Edited February 15 by Cruizzzzer Link to post Share on other sites
