TACAN scenery for Germany available - VACC-SAG Forum

Hiya,

For the military pilots:

In real-life TACAN beacons require a TACAN receiver to receive the course (OBS) information of the beacon. With a civil VOR/DME receiver you only receive the distance (DME) to the beacon. The problem in FS is that there are no dedicated TACAN gauges, so it's not possible to perform TACAN approaches, because this requires course information of the beacon. To overcome this problem i've modified the TACAN beacons in Germany so you can fully use them with civil receivers. And so are able to fly TACAN approaches. For charts how to fly the TACAN approaches see (procedure section) http://www.cenor.org/

Have fun with it!

Hi Marcel!

What did you do? Just change the DMEs into VOR/DMEs (Heiko Futterer already posted such a file some time ago) or something different?

Did the same, was not aware that Heiko did the same <g>. Anyways, now the military jockies (GAF, GNY and NATO's) have no excuse to file a correct flightpland via TACAN (routes)

Hi Marcel,

as i did sometime ago i came across the problem that some of the VHF-freqs of the TACANS can not be tuned in in FS. Did you solve that problem ?

I've used all the freq which were already available already in FS2004 for the beacons. On which you could only receive the DME info. Did not check or they used the correct conversion table from tacan channels versus VHF-freqs.

Marcel

Ah,

I just used the real freqs. I didn´t check what freqs are used in FS9 ;-)
