PitbullVicious Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Description: A friendly plane shows up as hostile after cold start on a multiplayer server. IFF is on, D/L is on, target is interrogated with sensor switch press. Trackfile: https://ufile.io/j1woz Date and situation: Blue Flag server, 2nd of March, about 1-2 p.m. GMT. Steps to reproduce: Unknown. Seems to be a random error. DCS version: 2.5.4.28090 System Specs: See signature Video of the bug (recorded from a track file): Description of the video: Start from Khasab, with 2 HARMs and two IR Mavericks, planning to attack Queshm. 0:03 Turning my IFF and Datalink on. 0:17 You can see the picture on my SA page, just before taxing. 0:30 After take off, I turn on my master arm, set my counter measure program, start the cool down with my mavs and set the radar. 1:10 You can see me interrogating one radar contact, that returns as friendly. 1:18 At Queshm, I suppress an SA 11 with HARM and close in for a kill with the Mavs. 1:30 A hostile contact pops up on my SA page. 1:54 Turn back towards Khasab. You can see a cold, hostile contact on my SA page. 2:38 The hostile contact jumps. I didn't notice this during the actual flight. 2:51 I notice that there is a hostile contact too close for comfort and turn towards it. 2:58 It turns into an ambiguous contact. 3:06 After I interrogate it, it again shows up as hostile. 3:21 Fox-2 3:45 Fox-2 again 4:30 Fox-3 which finally connects. 5:00 A friendly hornet then finishes the kill, which seems to indicate that I wasn't the only person who saw the contact as hostile. i9-9900K @ 5.1GHz | MSI Ventus 3X OC RTX3090 24GB | 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 | Asus ROG Strix Z390-E | Asus Xonar DGX 5.1 Sound Card | Virpil T50CM2 base w/ F/A-18C / A-10C / Virpil T50CM2 Grip | WinWing Super Taurus Throttle | MFG pedals | TekCreations Hornet UFC, Landing Panel, Right Console | WinWing Hornet Combat Ready Panel | Buddy Fox UFC | Foxx Mount | 3 x TM Cougar MFD | HP Reverb G2 | Wacom Intuos S (with VRK) | Honeycomb Alpha Yoke | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | CH Fighter Stick Pro & Throttle | MS Sidewinder 2 FFB | Track IR 5 | Oculus Rift CV1 善く戦う者は、まず勝つべからざるを為して、以て敵の勝つべきを待つ。
WolfK33 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Could be that I was that friendly Hornet, as that´s pretty much what happened to me. I was pretty surprised when I suddenly was killed for "friendly fire while flying an IFF equipped..." I saw the contact on the SA page as identified hostile by me as well as by a donor if I already understand the symbology right. Also was a diamond in the hud. edit: just saw "1 p.m.", so it wasn´t me, but I can confirm this problem. edit2: should´ve watched the video to see it wasn´t me lol Edited March 2, 2019 by WolfK33
