Dave317 Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 I've had a few tries with the new 1.55 beta patch and there is a problem with the IFF. It shows everyone as friendly!
spiddx Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Oops. Confirmed, seeing the same thing here. Specs: i9 10900K @ 5.1 GHz, EVGA GTX 1080Ti, MSI Z490 MEG Godlike, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600, Win 10, Samsung S34E790C, Vive, TIR5, 10cm extended Warthog on WarBRD, Crosswinds
spiddx Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Well that's what the open beta branch is for... to catch these things before they go to the release version. Specs: i9 10900K @ 5.1 GHz, EVGA GTX 1080Ti, MSI Z490 MEG Godlike, 32GB DDR4 @ 3600, Win 10, Samsung S34E790C, Vive, TIR5, 10cm extended Warthog on WarBRD, Crosswinds
ridbobkan Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Maybe you used the Peace and Love skin, making all of us as friends. Sad news :S
Dfwtd Posted November 4, 2016 Posted November 4, 2016 Same problem here, 1.5.5 Beta, testing with "Get the Mainstay" Mission shows MiGs and Mk2 as friendly
Zodiac Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 same here but i noticed that in order to select iff in cont. mode you have to click the switch 2 time wich rotates it full right instead of the middle position like it was before, will test it later

ZHeN Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 I'm not flying 1.5.5 because of this [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
microvax Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Its closer to reality then perfectly working IFF. There is a reason BVR is not a thing IRL very often ! :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?
Azrayen Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Well, in principle, yes (i.e. IFF not perfect). OTOH, IRL you should trust a positive IFF ID (particularly in mode 4). What you shouldn't do is take "no positive IFF ID" as an equivalent to "it's a bandit".
Zeus67 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 1st. Test. The IFF bug only affects TWS. IFF is working as intended in STT mode.

So far, the Universe is winning." "The three most dangerous things in the world are a programmer with a soldering iron, a hardware type with a program patch and a user with an idea."

But I agree, in general a valid response is more unambiguous then none. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] *unexpected flight behaviour* Oh shiii*** ! What ? Why ? What is happening ?

Zeus67 Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 It is an ED bug. Built-in IFF interrogator is returning all contacts as friendly. Fortunately I have a work around and now the IFF interrogator is working as intended in RWS and TWS. I can't declare bug squashed since it still exists in DCS but at least it is not affecting the M-2000C anymore.

Valium Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 I didn't know that IFF is avaible. Can someone explain how to use it? Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.
Azrayen Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 IFF is not available. IFF Interrogator is. It interrogates and gets and answer based on the coalition (blue/red - DCS editor) the radar contacts are linked to.
Valium Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 So how to launch this IFF Interrogator? Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album.
Whisper Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 DIRAV (Nose Wheel Steering) button in flight will initiate an IFF interrogation. Friendly targets on VTB will have a diamond symbol added in search/PID mode, and friendly locked target will appear with 2 vertical lines in PIC mode. Whisper of old OFP & C6 forums, now Kalbuth. Specs : i7 6700K / MSI 1070 / 32G RAM / SSD / Rift S / Virpil MongooseT50 / Virpil T50 CM2 Throttle / MFG Crosswind. All but Viggen, Yak52 & F16
