Identifying friend / enemy target

[P.Carrasco =Keep Flying=]

Hello friends, I looked for more I did not find it so I decided to consult my friends here.

I've already learned to operate the f-18 radar, but from what I see on the radar it's all "-" on the f-15 radar the "-" are enemies, and the "*" are allies right.

More and here on the F-18 radar screen?

How do I identify if I'm targeting an ally or an enemy?

IFF is being worked on, until it is ready you will need to ID your targets.

A Yes I have read that the IFF will be active as soon as it is ready. The more I thought that the simulator was not so realistic, I thought that the game would already recognize who was allied or enemy and played on the radar ...

Thank you!

Calling into AWAC "Declare" will give you friend or foe.

Calling into AWAC "Declare" will give you friend or foe.

 

Didn't knew that, can you explain?

Calling into AWAC "Declare" will give you friend or foe.

declare wasn't available in the communication menu. did they add it in today's update?

Actually I assumed it was the same as when flying F15. Calling into AWAC when I had a plane locked...clicking on "Declare" you will hear AWACS respond with friend or foe.

For most aircraft there is a simple IFF in place. ED is working on IFF for the Hornet, we don't know what they have in store - i.e. either simple implementation or more realistic.

I try to match what I have locked up to what my rwr looks like

Is this still a problem? I haven't ran the hornet in a while. Thanks

The SA feature is really helping. It basically puts your radar contacts in the hsi. If a contact has been identified as hostile by awacs it'll have a caret under it. You can interrogate contacts your own self now, without locking them up. Not as good as automatic interrogation -- that's coming -- but it's very handy. Still a little buggy but a great improvement. Wags put out a video, you kinda have to try it out and work with it but it's pretty slick
