Totally noob question. I bought the F1 as soon as it was available but I haven't actually use it until this summer, and I'm having a blast. Used to the F18's avionics and SA, flying this third generation jet is super fun. I've done Carsten's tutorial, read the manual and flight a lot a custom cold war sandbox mission I made. Now I started a retribution campaign and I have realized I cannot do proper CAP since I don't really know how to operate iff, use AWACS nor build a proper SA picture. In my custom sandbox I didn't have this issue since I know more or less where my allied are and the general heading where enemies might be. But in the retributions missions I have already shoot down my own AWACS twice My main problem is the AWACS in on the same general heading as the bandits and more or less at the same altitude and distance as the reported bandit. So what I do is to lock the first "suspicious boogie" I get on my radar, and with it locked I has AWACS to declare. It responds "contact is unknonwn", so I assume since it is not detected as friendly it must be a bandit... turns out the contact was the AWACS itself. Long story short, can I rely on AWACS' "declare" call? And if I can, how should I properly do it? For context, I fly the EE in missions set around 1985 and the bandits are usually migs (Warsaw Pact available aircraft). And I cannot interrogate mysenf since the EE does not have the proper equipment, does it? Thanks!

Hello, I have been practicing dogfighting with a wingman. I have troubles sometimes where I cannot identify friend or foe. On my FCR we are too close and everyone is piled on top of one another so TMS left does not help, plus you have to look down. I was hoping there would be a way to tell your wingman to pop a flare for quick identification. The only other way I have been able to do it is to get close and zoom in. Doing this though causes me to focus on them and not my surroundings. in the mission I was up against 2 F-5’s. yes they are smaller but their silhouette is similar to the viper, at lease for me when from a distance. Is there another way that I just have not found yet? Also what about dogfighting at night? that’s got to be impossible.

Currently trying out the WSO role with my friends. I know you're supposed to do AAI FWD long to interrogate IFF, but it appears that I can only do it once per spawn. Leaving the slot and rejoining allows me to IFF a single time before it stops working. Not sure what could be causing this. I'm sure all my bind are correct so I this point it think it has to be a bug

Is it planned to add IFF Mode 3 and 1 support for the Viper? Because right now we cannot modify the modes sqwuak code on the 16, but is it planned though? We tend to use it a lot on our squadron between the A10s and the F18s and now since some of us are migrating to the viper we are realizing the viper does not support mode 3 or 1 on LOTATC..

Hi, the updated IFF features for the Hornet had me hopeful for what was to come for our beloved VIper. Then I saw one of Big Newys replies stating no auto IFF on the Viper. Ok, fair enough. I do however remember seeing AIFF in a list of Viper features. Could someone please expand on what AIFF brings in the Viper? Is IFF symbology overlayed on the HUD a reasonable expectation or are we forever resigned to Mk II eyeballs and looking down on the FCR ? Sincerely mobua

I know the whole IFF panel is inoperative but unless turning the IFF on (one click cw upper right corner), the IFF warning light won't go out. I like to do this through key binding since I have no clickable cockpit full window (all screen) mode. Can't find any key binding for this. Searching IFF yields no results. Yet the whole panel has clickable switches and knobs. I want to turn it on with a key binding so I wont have to go to windowed mode and use the mouse.
