1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 14, 2023 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 14, 2023 Salute I have had a look at the video Fruitbat posted about how to use the TACAN in the T-45 however I dont think it is working the same now? (unless I am doing it wrong, which is a high possibility) I wanted to navigate to the carrier which has a code of 74X STN. I plugged 74 into the TACAN box and switched on. The button to select X/Y does not seem tot work? I set the left display to TCAN but the display did not show the icon for the TACAN as demonstrated in the video, plus the heading seemed out? Is there any chance someone who knows about these things could try setting it up and tell me if there is an issue or it is me doing something wrong? Many thanks regards Friar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators fruitbat Posted January 14, 2023 2. Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2023 The video i linked was for the A4E, not the T-45, that might be some of the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 14, 2023 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 14, 2023 No, I have watched Grim Reapers video for the T-45 and it clearly shows the TACAN symbol in the direction I need to fly (see attached) but when I try and do it I do not see the icon?

1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 14, 2023 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 14, 2023 just checking out another video and it shows what I am seeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted January 15, 2023 Author 1. DDz Quorum Share Posted January 15, 2023 All sorted now - was due to me not having line of sight to the signal from the carrier (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing). Thanks to Fruitbat for acting as my Instructor in the back seat and putting me right. Thanks to @fruitbat and @DD_Fenrir for the session on Saturday evening.
