Airstrip's TACAN can work ?

Post by eystratiou » 2011-02-12 23:00:14

Hi guys .
Can anyone knows if an airstrip of a theater can have a TACAN station , i mean a TACAN to working ?
I know from "stations.dat" file we have e.g. for Aviano of Balkans theater from Allied Force :
# Aviano
1001 111 X 3 25 1 109.5
where 1001 is the CampID of the airport
111 is the TACAN channel
X is the TACAN band
3 is the airport's name for ATC calls
25 is the TACAN range in n.m.
1 is the emmitter type (always 1)
and 109.5 is the ILS Loc frequency
So even when i give the correct CampID of the airstrip , a valid TACAN channel (001-126) , X band , 50 for airport's name that ATC calls (no korean names) , a valid range e.g. 50 , 1 for emmitter type and last 0 for no ILS or a valid one (108.10- 111.95) e.g. 108.3 , i can't communicate with ATC and have not indications at HSI .
I also try with Y TACAN band , same result .
I try with many theaters (and PMC) .
So if it is possible and someone knows , please let me know what to do or what to change with the correct values .
Thanks a lot ...

Hi mate,

I don't think I ever managed to get an airstrip to work with TACAN, etc. in any version of Panama I made. I don't think it can be done, probably something to do with the objective type not having an appropriate flag checked!? Will have a play though and report back...

Regards
