RE: Air to Air refuelling training mission TACAN issue
After the TACAN stopped working I recontacted AWACS and requested vectors to the tanker, the TACAN frequency given was the same I already had tuned so if its changing it doesn’t appear to catch the change.

RE: Air to Air refuelling training mission TACAN issue
Just played the mission in 4.36 U3. The TACAN works as intended for a few minutes and then stops. Not sure if the tankers are swapping TACAN’s but I can’t find them on other channels.

RE: Training mission 6: ILS in bad WX - RW 13R in use
@airtex2019 I managed to pull of the approach and landing but it was dicey to say the least!
As a temporary measure I saved the TE and edited using weather commander to a wind more inline with the training manual, just required manual tuning of radios and nav aids but worked well.
Edit: If like me as a temporary measure you decide to save and edit the TE using Weather Commander the aircraft fuel will also need to be reduced using the TE editor. Otherwise tanks will be full and approach speed around 180kts, makes stopping on the runway interesting!

Training mission 6: ILS in bad WX - RW 13R in use
My apologies in advance if this is my mistake but I am having some problems with training mission 6.
If I start the mission and get the ATIS it reports RW13 in use with wind 180/37G52. This is makes the approach to 31L quite sporting with by calculations a crosswind component of 28kts and a tailwind of 25kts before gusts I have to use DRIFT C/O to keep the ILS visible in the HUD. Also ATC won’t respond to reports on final etc I guess due to the RW in use. If I setup and fly an approach to RW13LR ATC behaviour is normal. Again my apologies if this is an error on my behalf.

RE: Air to Air refuelling training mission TACAN issue
Don’t be sorry, I just need to figure out what Im missing.
Ive now read the TACAN section of the-34 including the air to air modelling and I see I need to +/- 63 to the channel to get it to work so 29Y becomes 92Y unfortunately I’m still getting the same result with the KC-10.
Any other recommendations?

Air to Air refuelling training mission TACAN issue
Hello,
My apologies if this is a misunderstanding on my behalf but I am getting an odd behaviour when using the air to air TACAN during the air to air refuelling training mission.
When intercepting the KC135 the TACAN behaves as described in the Training Manual, distance is displayed and the bearing needle spins to signify no directional information.
When intercepting the KC10 the TACAN shows a distance of around 130nm even though I’m close enough to see the tanker. The needle also spins instead of pointing at the tanker.I have checked the correct channel, band and A/A is displayed on the DED, I also have TCN set on the EHSI. Am I missing something else?
