De-Conflicting WVR

[dooom]

Hey all.

 

I have been enjoying the M2000 again lately but am wondering how those proficient with it IFF/De-conflict when in tight WVR? I have no problem sorting at BVR with the radar and IFF but really get confused with the Magic when I'm in close with friendlies... especially on the 104th where there is equipment air-frames complicating the match-up.

 

So how do you sort friend from foe when in tight? is there a HUD symbol i should be looking for like on the Su27/33?

A little A in the contact box when you click the IFF buton.

ok - i just checked the manual and flew the training mission again... i can't see an "A" anywhere... what am i missing? I have a single circle if I lock with magic in close range without radar, and a target box with ranging if I use special modes fwd/aft... i slave seeker head to tgt then I have a box with circle in it.

 

No "A"... any ideas?

You still need to press the interrogation key for the A to appear. It only works with a radar lock (square target box), the Magic seeker alone can't IFF targets.

hmm. I did that.. can i bother someone for a screenshot? or maybe point me to a page in the manual I'm missing/video that shows it?.

 

I know my interrogation mapping works because i see the little diamond on the chevron on my center display in long range.

Here you are. :)

 

1/ PID

2/ PIC

3/ PIC/CCM.

 

If need be, those are taken from a short flight whoose track is also available here.

^^thanks... something is definately different for me as I NEVER see that little "A".... I'll have to check the track out and look at the switchology. i must be missing something on the IFF panel.

Are you getting the little diamond on the radar screen of the Mirage when you interrogate friendly contacts? If you are then your IFF is functioning correctly.

 

When you are using close combat modes and you have a bogey locked up, when you press the IFF key an "A" should appear like in the screens Azrayen posted.

 

Remember, if you are not pressing the interrogator IFF "key" the A will NOT show up.

Are you using any HUD mod ?

[dooom]

no mods. and yeah my diamond shows up on radar... im going to try an instand action to see if i see it there.

[lemoen]

IFF is not set to CONT on the panel.

[dooom]

... i always set it to cont to get diamond on radar iff....are you saying i should not? btw.... i did not get the "a" in the instant action miz... :(

[lemoen]

Weird, if it is set to CONT, then your IFF interrogator is On. In the HUD, the square over your locked target should show an "A" if it is a friendly and nothing if it is a Foe, when you do the interrogation. It goes away after a few seconds. You need to keep interrogating to keep the symbols.

IIFF:

- CONT = "Continu" = Interrogation within the full scan area.

- SECT = "Sectoriel" = I interrogation within a narrow sector around TDC.

I used the French words but it should be transparent in English...

CONT = "Continu" = Interrogation within the full scan area.

SECT = "Sectoriel" = I interrogation within a narrow sector around TDC.

 

Is it simulated ?
