Falcon 4 TACAN - Tactical Air Navigation.
This information comes from the stations.dat file located in the campaign directory.
# Kimpo - ex Kimpo (Gimpo) 276 083 X 14 25 1 109.9 --------------------------- -#: Name of the airbase -276: CampID of the airbase (into Tacedit objectlist view) -083 X: TACAN channel -14:It is a sequential no. that you choose for each airbase and that is linked to the CampID via this stations.dat file. -25: TACAN Range (Nm) -1: Emmitter Type (always 1) -109.9: ILS frequency
Due to the way that the voice system works and there are three speech frags for excat airbase (“Kimpo”, “Kimpo Tower” and “Kimpo Approach”), this sequential no. must be allocated in bands:
0 - 45 92 - 137 184 - 229
These are the Approach frags, and to get the corresponding Tower frag, Falcon adds 46 to the Approach no., which is why they must be allocated in these bands. (There were originally 46 bases in the game and then they added Kadena pretty late on).
Just posting this here for easy reference later.
Eval: 087 - eAPPROACH Sample commIDs: 36, 38, 39 Korea: Indices 0 - 28: Approach (frags 2463 - (94 entries) Tacan Stations are numbered 1 - 126 and are grouped in two sets X and Y band. Band can only be type X or Y Channel must be between 1 - 126 inclusive Dynamically assigned Tanker/Carrier list - all band Y, channels 126 - 70
Channel minimum changed to 26 via F4Patch - i.e. 0-25 dynamic (Y band - Tankers/Carriers), 26-126 fixed (X band - Airbases/Airstrips).
