OK, I know people think I am seeing things, but I just sussed out what is going on. How many people *actually* tested the TACAN and located the tanker aircraft with it, rather than just sit in the cockpit and see the needle/gauges work? Here is what happens for me. The TACAN works, but it doesn't locate the aircraft (tanker) - the dial just seems to swing around in a circle depending what direction I fly in. Test flying around KSFO it actually is locked on to a TACAN at KSFO! So the dial is always it pointing to KSFO (and obviously as I follow the TACAN needle thinking I was tracking the tanker, as soon as I flew over KSFO the needle done a swift 180deg turn). I replicated this is the Seahawk too. As first I thought it was saying the tanker hadn't yet taken off, but the actual aircraft is flying and I can refuel once I locate it.
