Puma Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Afaik the iff responder in the A-10 is not implemented. When the F-18 gets its iff interrogator, what does this mean for A-10s? Will it auto respond? Or will we appear as hostile? If not this would rapidly climb the “must have” updates required to this aging module.

ricktoberfest Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 In the world of sim aircraft, usually it’s all on your plane. It doesn’t matter if the other aircraft have it implemented or not. If they choose to go the other way it would cause much chaos as almost all the aircraft have different IFF systems from each other. A F18 can’t interrogate a P51 IFF (as far as I’m aware) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Puma Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Ill maybe give you the major generational gaps, but I disagree that similar era cannot iff interrogate eachother. Sure maybe different modes/idents but the whole point of the system is to identify friend from foe, so it shouldnt be sensitive to airframe. I do now see you said “in sim”, but this thing is called dcs world. Its vision is to share roles and aircraft so Id think working iff is within that vision. If not, then at least a hackey responder for now would work?

Puma Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Orrrr... are you saying that the F-18 will identify A-10s all on its own regardless of how the A-10 is configured? In sim of course. I admit maybe I was thinking too much about how the real system works.
