IFF IN and IFF OUT ?

[GrEaSeLiTeNiN]

Hi, anyone know what IFF IN and IFF OUT in the Throttle transmit switch does? Thanks

[razo+r]

They handle the Datalink stuff, once it's implemented.

[GrEaSeLiTeNiN]

So it will be used often? (I'm mapping my throttle)

If you plan on sharing a lot of information with your flight, yes.

 

If you plan on keeping infos/positions with you, then no.

I only play SP so I guess not?

[razo+r]

Then not really.

IFF in and out is used to select what Link 16 symbology you want to see on the MFD’s.

The communications switch is a four-way switch:

UP - Pilot transmits over UHF radio

DOWN - Pilot transmits over VHF radio

OUTBOARD (press) - Toggles on and off datalink symbology on the multifunction displays

OUTBOARD (hold) - Commands a datalink update

INBOARD - Transmits the current air-to-ground target over datalink

Inboard

- Depressed <0.5 seconds rotaries the datalink declutter options (ALL, FTR+, TGTS) or if NONE is selected, changes to last-left.

-- If MIDS is OFF, toggles declutter between ALL and NONE.

- Depressed ≥ 0.5 seconds with XMIT IDM selected on HSD:

--If HSD or HAD is SOI, transmits the designated (boxed) threat as a SEAD DL.

--If HSD is SOI and CAS IP or TGT is designated, transmits a CAS mission update.

--If FCR or TGP is in track and is the SOI, transmits the SPI as a MKPT.

--If none of the conditions above are met, transmits the currently selected steerpoint location (without nav cursor corrections) as a MKPT.

 

- Depressed ≥ 0.5 seconds with XMIT L16 selected on HSD:

-- If HSD or HAD is SOI, transmits the designated (boxed) threat as a SEAD DL with Lock Line.

-- If FCR or TGP is in track and is the SOI, transmits the SPI as a MKPT with Lock Line

-- If HSD is SOI and CAS IP or TGT is designated, transmits the currently selected steerpoint (without nav cursor corrections) as a MKPT

 

Outboard

Depressed < 0.5 seconds toggles FCR format datalink declutter between NONE and ALL.

Depressed ≥ 0.5 seconds initiates IDM one-round or round-robin intraflight datalink.

The fact we keep hearing that it's used for IFF from ED is slightly concerning :noexpression:
