I've checked TACAN under Windows and Cygwin. Melchior has checked it under Linux. It will work providing: a. you have -0.9.9 (source and data) b. you are using a TACAN fitted model - Seahawk or Hunter - and these are the latest versions. The latest version of the Hunter was included in -0.9.9. The Seahawk has to be downloaded. c. The TACAN channel is correctly selected - the default value is correct for Nimitz. d. IF Nimitz is present then the TACAN will give range and bearing readouts on the runway at KSFO. If it is not, it will detect China Lake, but may not give indications until high enough for reliable indications. (Note: this is a range calculation only - Line of Sight is not calculated) As I have already said, you can check all this in the property browser. Unless you can describe your problem better, I can offer you no more help, I'm afraid. Atm you are the only person reporting this problem. > > Can I place the Nimitz in European waters? > Yes, anywhere you like, including on land. Vivian PS RN pilots are not to be trusted to find carriers, that's why we gave 'em Observers. The only thing they can reliably find is the bar :-) _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list Flightgear-users@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
