Verde Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hello mates, I have little problem. In single player sometimes IFF button works but in some cases not, why that is happening? Other thing... just played online tigers vs migs and the same thing I press iff to know friend or foe and nothing happens? Am I using something wrong? Radar is on i see different targets but IFF button does nothing:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verde Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 I found that in quickstart interception mission it works, and some other missions also but in campaign it doesn`t. But in online battle it is very important to know who is who? Anybody has a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Did you remember to turn on the IFF coder/discoder? Without it the IFF interrogation system does not work and can not IFF a target. Its on the right wall panel on the same row as the Switches for the Gun,ASP Optical and the Gun camera (its the switch after the Gun camera). And the light next to the switch will go gree once it is flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Joker_20 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Make sure your type 81 iff switch is on (forward right panel above radar control panel) my iff works fine in single and multi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My IFF works is i have that switch Activated. (and then use the IFF Button to interrogate) And it seems to work if i have the Type 81 IFF switch on or off so to my knowledge only the IFF Coder/discoder needs to be on for it to work (but i usually turn on the Type 81 IFF anyway =P.

Absolut Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) ok, tried it again, only to prove that i am not an idiot. And no it does not show anything in multiplayer while it works perfect in quickmission! interesting thing i noticed now, is that i play dcs 1.5.5 and the mig module shows 1.5.4. not sure, but maybe this is some update problem tomorrow i switch back from beta to normal... i hope this will fix it, we will see Edited November 13, 2016 by Absolut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattebubben Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Do you do Manual start up off aircraft or autostart?. If manual maby there is something you have missed =P. But you are sure that the light next to the SRZO IFF Coder/Decoder is Lit Green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verde Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Make sure your type 81 iff switch is on (forward right panel above radar control panel) my iff works fine in single and multi THX very much that helped;) Never knew about that switch.

spiddx Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just tested on the VA server, IFF works fine. SRZO and Typ 81 switches have to be on (as it has always been). My Mig also shows 1.5.4 in the title screen, so that can't be the problem. They probably just forgot to change the label.

Absolut Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I was completely wrong and Mattebubben you was completely right, i am an "Absolut" idiot. Yes it was the Typ 81 switch. A big thanks to this great community for the quickrespond and the great behavior people here have. I learned my lession. Thank you all. S! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones1014 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm looking for a keybind for the IFF switches. I can't even find the entry in the controls list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
