Utilisation TACAN

[Charco31]

Bonjour à tous,

Est-ce possible dans Falcon BMS, d'utiliser le TACAN en mode AIR-AIR pour connaître la position d'un autre avion que le ravitailleur?

[DeeJay]

Oui.

Avec les IA si ils font parti de ton package.
Entre humains avec le +/-63 habituel comme en vrai.

Humans can select any TACAN channel and any band for A-A TACAN. If more than one receiver is tied, only the closest one information will be displayed. Let’s consider the following example: Flight of three with #2 in Fighting Wing and #3 in spread. Fighting wing is a visual formation and #2 does not really need an A-A TACAN. The guy in spread might use an A-A TACAN though, especially in a simulated environment where judging distance on a flat screen might be a problem. So lead sets an A-A TACAN of 10Y and transmits that information to his flight members. If both #2 and #3 sets their TACAN to 10+63=73Y, both will get the distance from their lead but lead will only get the distance from the closest tied aircraft. Obviously, that’s #2, where he does not need to know the distance from his immediate wingman. To avoid that, lead and element lead tie can together and wingmen can tie together as well on a different TACAN. It can be one channel apart or even better one band apart but on the same channel: Lead on 10Y, element lead on 73Y. Wingman #2 on 73X and wingman #4 on 10X. That way, leads are tied together and wingmen are tied together as well, but by simply changing the AA TACAN band (X, Y), they can quickly make a check on their respective lead. If humans can select any channel and band, AI (Artificial Intelligence) aircraft are using fixed TACAN channels all in the Y band. AI first flight is set on 12, 22, 75 & 85Y. The next AI flight is the same structure but one number higher: 13, 23, 76 & 86Y. And the BMS code can support up to five flights of AI with this system. That means that you can always find the AI controlled aircraft in the first 5 flights.
