Probs at KKMC and Tacan Issues

[Tomcattwo]

Snake Man et al...
Nice job on ODS terrain Beta 0.1. I just downloaded it last night and have been playing with it a bit. Couple of things:
1) There are some missing runway tiles in King Khalid Military City airbase at the arrival end of Runway 20 in 2D/3D views. I can see the full runway layout in satellite view, but from in the jet some of the taxiway and runway textures are missing. It also looks like the KKMC radar and some taxiway signs are in the middle of the taxiway (but they "repositioned" as I taxi'd so I never collided with any of these objects.) Is this the result of not having all airbases leveled yet?
2) KKMC apparantly "maps" to Korea's Kosong Airbase TACAN channel (72) and I can call KKMC for landing instructions (and get vectors, although they are incorrect). But it appears that no TACAN ranges or bearings are functional to any of the Blue airbases (TACAN DOES work for tracking Tankers). Is there a plan to include operating TACAN and landing vectors in future updates to ODS?
3) It is my intention to begin collecting these "mappings" of Korean Airbases to ODS airbases as a starting point for TACAN work. I'll post what I come up with when I come up with it.

Do you have screenshots of these missing tiles?

Yes.

Thanks, all the help is greatly appreciated.

I will e-mail jpg's of the missing tiles with lat/long tonight when I get home.
BTW am running ODS on a fresh installation of eFalcon 1.10+RP5. Had no problems installing and no CTDs yet.

eF 1.10 + RP5 combo, really? no problems?

Cool

Snake Man,
jpgs e-mailed as promised. Unfortunately every airbase in ODS answers up as "Kosong" so there is no TACAN/ATC differentiation, and hence no "list" of which TACAN stations correspond to which airbases; hence TACAN/ATC for airbases is unfortunately non-functional at this point. TACAN does work for tracking range and bearing to airborne tankers.
Did have one CTD when trying to approach the tanker (had him in TACAN and on radar) when I hit the T-1 keys instead of Y-1 keys (I believe this is a known bug with eFalcon and not with ODS). Also, the tanker mysteriously teleported itself some 50 miles just before I was to do a hookup. I believe the reason for this is that we were operating very close to the southern edge and the tanker probably flew south "off the edge of the world". It showed up north about 50 miles from where it disappeared.
Additionally, F4Weather appears to work in this theatre as well (based on only a single test). Using eFalcon1.10+RP5.
For info, when I did my ODS install, I unapplied RP5 strings patch before installing ODS. I had no problems whatsoever with the install.
