      Is it possible to set up and A/A TACAN link - aka “yardstick” - with AI(s) in your flight?

                  Do be aware that some of the articles (including the one linked) have errors in them.

                      @some:

                      You can always ask AWACS (if available) for the tanker channels, but bear in mind that the operator in the AWACS will always give you the tanker channel and you will have to do the math yourself to get the channel you need to set.

                      Set the channel they give you in BMS u 7 and you can find them just fine.

                      Also, I believe (havent tested specifically) that LoS is not implemented for the TACAN either. I am pretty sure Ive gotten TACAN signal in the weeds before though.

                        Ah, good point ! I actually saw that too but completely forgot about it 😉

                        Mmmmm…… for TR Tacan I’m pretty sure I experienced LOS issues. Never really tested with TR/AA though.

                        On the other hand, there is a slight bug with the LOS determination with the terrain… I’m sure you saw it too, it causes tanks to be visible through some edges and radar lock to be still on although terrain should break it.

                        And FYI, this bug is apparently hard to fix without a full rework of the terrain engine… so dont get your hopes too up 😞

                          It is. Just try … perform a TACAN arc at the reception limit, then descent to low level.

                            Ill probably test it with actual LOS - flying an arc NOE behind a mountain range a few miles from the xmitter.

                            I will do this when I am at my pit next 🙂

                              I have indeed spotted this bug (very annoying with TGP particularly). I guess reworking the terrain from scratch is not real likely in the near future either so I suppose it is there to stay awhile.

                                Maybe I am mistaking. I am talking about RADAR/RADIO HORIZON.
