TACAN trouble
-
Good Day, All,
I have noticed my TACAN doesn’t work in my Hornet C. I’ve tried inputting via both ICP and secondary controls. As I changed the carrier in my campaign (via Mission Commander)from Vinson to Enterprise I have tried 010x and 028x.
The ADI acts the same as when you are out of range(ie: that lazy swing to the 3 o’clock position and no range indicated) -
Forget the secondary controls.
TACAN via DED ‘1’ button on 028, band X, mode T/R.
HSI Mode (3rd MFD, lower left OSB) in TCN.
Should work.
Which Theater? I thought, maybe, Balkans or ITO had different radio freqs and/or TACAN stations? You can double check the ILS dat file.

Thanks.Balkans. I’ll check out ILS.dat, but I can tell you the Enterprise comm freqs are correct.

HI drtbkj
I noticed that when I switch to a carrier, most of the time I have to hit take off button and wait a bit sometimes until t-5min. then hit cancel and reset the tower in the DTC. and then the radio works. this seems like an annoying process but i have to do it all the time, did you know of this issue or am i doing things wrong?
any way it sounded similar because you tacan stopped working when you switched carriers. -
Thanks.Balkans. I’ll check out ILS.dat, but I can tell you the Enterprise comm freqs are correct.
Hi there.
Well about your issues with the navigation into Balkans theater,
First be sure that you have the latest version of theater from here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?23469-Balkans-Theater-of-Operation-for-BMS-4-33U1
Means 2 files, the main installer “Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip” and the update to ver. 1.0.5 “Update_v1.0.5_for_Balkans_4.33.1c1.zip”.
Then take a look from folder “Docs” at the file “Balkans Navaids list.pdf” at page 5, as a portion below:
Also check at the same folder the file “Balkans MAIP.pdf” (and “Amendola diagram.pdf”) in order to see and use if you want the navigation charts ;).

Nikos.Thanks, Guys. Starrats, I’ll file that tip away for future reference, and Neystratiou, you may have hit the nail on the head.I checked that link you posted and I don’t remember doing the step with the uninstaller, etc. .I probably don’t have the update installed.

You are welcome my friend.
First uninstall the old one, and then install the new main installer and last the update.
Now use the “Balkans Navaids list.pdf” from “Docs” folder and NOT the outdated “1108_BalkanNav.pdf”!
Enjoy also the nav. charts ;).
Nikos.
