Autopilot and Radio explainations
Gunfighterj:
First Can any1 tell me what TACAN is? And second is there a way that u can set up an intercept course on another flying aircraft?
Razgriz:
Not unless they had a VOR out of them, or a non-moving target.. :o
Razgriz:
I still don't get how to set my NAV radio. I went into my ILS page on the pad, set my MFD to ILS, typed in my code but no needles. Can we get a picture or some easier instructions??
Edit:
My NAV1 radio, if I type in 1-0-9-3, it goes to 109.29.. :S
I tried 1-0-9-3-1 and it goes to 109.34...
virtuali:
I don't know what to say: I can't reproduce it, just tried it now, and 1-0-9-3 then ENT key, results in the 30X channels tuned, which is 109,30, and switching to the C172, confirms the NAV radio is tuned to 109,30.

We are using the standard A/P code in FSX, which I'm not sure is able to cope with the specific approach beaviors of a jet fighter, perhaps it will work in good weather on a real runway, but probably not in bad weather and certainly not on a carrier.

I remember back in my Nav Air days we actualy did have a so-called "hands off" landing on the carriers. It was the ILS/ACLS system tied to the AP and it also had an APC (automatic power compensator) that adjusted the throttle so it was a true hands off carrier landing if the pilot hand the cahonas to do it.
