Look in file>instrumentation>tacan

Not

File>instrumentation[1]

You should see a wide range of parameters relating to TACAN, including the
station name. This should be 'USS Nimitz TACAN' if the Nimitz is not present
or not in range this may read 'China Lake TACAN'

That is the correct channel for Nimitz/China Lake

Er, you are using the 3d cockpit built from the Pilot's Notes with
adjustable seat height? Nothing to do with the Cessna at all. If you are,
then the TACAN range and bearing are displayed on the dials on the left
panel, just by the hook raise lower switch. You can adjust the FoV as well
(as in all ac) the view should be as good as, if not better than the real
thing, well except for peripheral vision, of course.
