Take a look at the ADF instrument module (adf.*xx). It could be used as a "template" to create a TACAN instrument module. According to this site: http://www.radarpages.co.uk/mob/navaids/tacan/tacan1.htm TACAN gives the pilot range and bearing to the beacon. That's readily available in the ADF code. You can then add an entry in the navlist (Navaids/navlist*xx), and figure out how to change the position of that entry according to the carriers position. I guess that adding some sort of beacon property to the AIShip class could do the trick. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
