Is IFF fully working?

[LithiumR]

So I got the module and I love flying it. It is now my favorite plane but...... When I do an IFF interrogation sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It sucks to go smoking through the mountains at mach 1.5 to catch up with and bandit, use IFF, and shoot down a friendly. It definitely works sometimes but not always.

 

I'm putting the selector knob over to CONT and using the nosewheel button. I'm not sure that there is anything else to do? I use it before I lock anything up. Usually it will show a diamond in the V if friendly..... But sometimes there's no diamond so I lock and fire only to get kicked for TK. That sucks. Is IFF just not finished? Or am I doing something wrong?

I've never had a false contact with the Mirages IFF. It's 100% reliable for me, so I would say you're doing something wrong, although I can't say what, as all you said is correct and there isn't more to it. :dunno:

We would need a track to see what you are doing, but IFF is 100% reliable.

 

Be aware that when in PIC there will be no diamond in the V, but the there will be double bars on the side of the contact.

IFF never failed me either...

I've had nothing but issues with it.

Not a single technical issue. Never once.

 

Got issues, yes, when I was being idiot and skipped checklists / items. But apart from that, I would say that IFF is (artificially) much more reliable (100% !!) in DCS than it is IRL.

Every now and then we have people asking if IFF interrogation is right ?

 

So far no reproducible bug found.

[Jugdriver]

The IFF works, the system is prone to user error.

 

That said, there has been a bug in the past, I am surprised some of the old hands dont remember.
