IFF HAFU NCTR explained at wiki.Hoggitworld

I chanced upon this and found it most helpful in explaining IFF/HAFU/NCTR:

The rest of the manual:

Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know if we will be able to get an NCTR print when locking a target in TWS, or is it only possible with an STT?

Great stuff

This is a very resourceful medium to get information about dcs Hornet.

I must confess I am getting very detailed information on how the systems functions. There are things about the air - air radar that are clearly explained.

 

I equally like the highlighting of features not implemented yet.

 

Yeah, great stuff out there.

Thanks.

I believe NCTR print operates independent of radar mode. The only requirement is that the Radar be close enough it’s able to “See” the fan blades.

Yeah it's like the manual we never got. Video tutorials are great but sometimes more can be explained slowly and clearly in text. :thumbup:

Ayy! I wrote most of that page - seriously means a lot people found it useful. Appreciate the compliments all!

Good stuff, Jak525! Thanks for writing this, it‘s very straightforward to read. Also a big thanks to everyone else who contributes to the page.

My thoughts exactly. It sure could be the basis for a nice manual. I understand why DCS doesn't update the current one very often until things are more complete, but this Wiki is awesome! Many thanks to those who put it together (and the OP for pointing it out here) because I know that didn't happen in 5 minutes!

Great Info. Thanks

After more reading and practice, I found that...

 

NCTR print (type of plane on SA page bottom right) requires an STT lock in RWS, whether in the non-LTWS mode (single TDC depress) or LTWS mode (double TDC depress). Once a print is obtained, it is remembered even if NCTR is turned off. The cursor in SA page has always got to be over the STT target to see print.
