    This tutorial saved my bacon. I was going through the DCS tutorial and couldn't for the life of me figure out why the TACAN wasn't boxing on the DDI. Turns out the On/Off switch just needed another nudge. Helps if it's turned on. Thanks again!

    These tutorials are awesome!! Just bought the F-18 and F-14 together a few days ago and the in-game tutorials are lower than gravel quality. You've filled in all the gaps so far and I'm still watching to learn more. Thanks for the time putting all these together, and thank you for inserting the updates as they become available. This is a ton of work that you've done for the community. (BTW, your other videos are all awesome as well showing there is much more to the game than the "milsim" aspect of it... great fun and again, thank you so much Cap and GR!!)

    Very useful @Grim Reapers. Boy. You guys really know your modules. I just bought the FA 18 after becoming moderately familiar with the A-10C. I will say the A-10C is a little steeper of a learning curve and way more buttons and switches imo.
    Anyways I was going through training for TACAN ADF & The instructor or programming was just buggy and I kept having to start the simulation over and I was still getting no more information when I was trying to press TCN and then 67X it just would not take my input until I watched your video I was in a foul mood. Just having someone to lay this ugly bag of snakes out straight for me is delightful. “Hold the ON OFF button, sometimes that’s the issue.” 🤣 🤪 Thx Cap!

      ​@@grimreapers I don't think heading of the carrier and tacan code are the same thing mate. But there are plenty of answers in other comments. F10 map will give u the true heading then you have to convert that in to magnetic OR I believe u can make your hornet display true heading but can't remember how. Also take in consideration that the "runway" on the carrier is in an angle agording to other comments 10° or so. 😊 happy flying

      Bryce Chetwynd if I am not mistakenly, the 348 is referring to the tacan’s radial showing the direction of the carrier which is not the carrier’s runway direction that happen to be aprox., 12-14 degrees less that the actual dirección of the carrier.

      At 0:52 he clicked on the carrier..the info box show him the carrier heading of 359 true...the hornet works on magnetic head( u can change this in cockpit)..the magnetic variance in the Gulf is -2 degrees (Caucasus is -6 degrees) and the landing deck of the carrier is -9 degrees from the carrier heading...so 359 - 11= 348...simples

    • @thegrizz9994
      @thegrizz9994 4 роки тому +5

      IRL the ship would tell you it's heading over the radio..we kinda have it in game with the Airboss..he will tell you if the ship changes course...but he tells u via a text message when the ship is finished turning..very easy to miss that message when your busy doing some piloting shit..so using F10 to get ship heading would not be considered "cheating"..this will probably change when the Super Carrier is released ...upgraded radio comms are part of the deal I believe.
