Sordsman Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Hey Everyone, I'm tired of getting kicked for shooting down a team mate on the 104th when flying the A-10. Is there any way to find out who's who in the A-10? I know from what I've read that IFF isn't functional in the A-10, so does that mean I'm SOL until there is a fix? I don't fly the other aircraft that often, is there a way for the other aircraft to IFF? I wonder because the most resent blue on blue incident happened when a F-15 shot at me so I went defensive, then the F-15 over shot me and that's when I fired on him. After he was hit I was told that it was a team kill. Is it possible that the F-15 couldn't ID me as friend or foe or was this just bad luck for both parties. I would very much like the communities input on this and thank you ahead of time for what you have to say.
Kelevra9987 Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 The Warthog has no way to IFF Interrogate but it can answer IFF Requests so in theory the F-15 should have seen a X in his Targetbox on the HUD wich indicates he is Buddy Spikeing someone. Since he offended you with shooting at you, it is his bad luck that you shot back and hit...

Chrinik Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Well...did you activate the IFF system in the A-10 correctly? AFAIK if you mess it up, he won´t get a correct response.

QuiGon Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Well...did you activate the IFF system in the A-10 correctly? AFAIK if you mess it up, he won´t get a correct response. That's wrong afaik. The IFF-system in the A-10C has no function. You can turn it ON/STBY/OFF, but it makes no difference. The game always assumes that it is working and answers to IFF interrogation by friendly fighters regardless. I don't think there is any module for DCS so far where you have to activate your IFF-transponder to answer IFF-requests. It's handled by the game engine. It just checks the coalition of the aircraft and returns true or false if interrogated.

Sordsman Posted June 20, 2016 Author Posted June 20, 2016 Awesome, Thanks for the reply's and the info!

QuiGon Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 The current IFF system is pretty lame to be honest. I wrote down some thoughts on it here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=161240 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
