TACAN's do not give radials

Description of the issue;

TACAN stations do not give radials. They give DME though! VORTACS work appropriately but pure TACANs do not. I spoke with somebody on the C-17 thread who said it seems to be an issue on Asobo’s end and I didn’t see any posts on this so I wanted to create one to ensure it gets seen! This was tested with the C-17 that comes with the Premium Deluxe edition. Spoke with somebody who works on it and they said this is what they encountered as well!

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue;

Any TAC equipped aircraft.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?;

I loaded it with no addons and it still persists.

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

100% of the time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Tune Tacan channel 55 at KBIX or Channel 87 at KMUO
  2. Check distance, should be functioning!
  3. Check radials. They won’t work!

Could you please edit your 1st post and add steps to reproduce ?, I would say by providing an example of a TACAN/frequency and aircraft used to test ?

I have added back the steps section and the embedded template for other users to contribute. When creating a bug report, please do not delete any sections, provide the requested key information for devs and users to reproduce.

Added steps as requested!

Thank you. Do you know of any aircraft in the base sim that are TAC equipped ? or only 3rd party ones (which one did you use to test ?).

It was tested with the C-17 that comes with the premium deluxe edition! I originally posted about this under the aircraft page and one of the devs said they were experiencing this same thing and think its a sim problem. He said he would pass it along but I wanted to make sure we had a post about it as well!

Edit 1: I’m going to check the A-10 and see if it comes with TAC. That seems to be the only base pack aircraft that might have it!

After testing it with the A-10 @ KMUO, it does seem that TACAN is functioning with both distance AND radial! Going to test a few more now but I guess this post can be closed and I will go let them know about this on the C-17 forum page so their team can look into the issue! Thanks!
