FA 18 Nav

[Pop]

Have asked before, but… How do I display TACAN/ILS in the FA18 in CV ops. Got the correctTACAN CH set, but don’t see and “needles”
Also, can I pick upo the CV on A2G radar (SEA mode)?

[d0o0m]

are you sure you are in range of the tacan station?

[Pop]

On the Deck and in the pattern

Still no joy on tacan in the FA 18, but"sea" a2G radar will pick up the Cv as will the wp as the ship moved!! BZ!!!

Hey Pop
Silly question but are you changing the Tacan from the centre DDI or are you changing the channels using the up front control panel in the DED?

[Pop]

DED set to Ch 10 & T/R. But don’t know how to display info (roto sw between legs in F16)

Thank’s

Center DDI OBS 16 if I remember correctly

Constructed a CV TE with 4 flts , E2, TarCap, Sead, strike. 9 A/c launch with 2 min between flts. E2 first, TRARCAP, SEAD and then Strike. Bad guys 2 Su 27 (AA10’s and 4 su 35’s ). Only me as a “live” pliot. We cleaned house! All flts, with the exception on the STRIKE completed their goals. But then heading for “mother” picked up the CV on A2G SEA mode at 40 NM, and the “home” way point advanced. At 20nm called for landing and CATAC gave all A/C “radar vectors to final”!!
Gona stick some wx in the next mission. Still lacking IFR approachs in the FA18!!!

No ILS for carriers.

cf BMS Manual, 8.4.2 : Carrier trap landing.

You don’t need ILS anyhow do you? Just turn on ACLS.
