IFF doesn't seem to work after 18/12/19 update

[DackSter94]

Only tested magic IFF. Rectangle appears over IFF entry on MFD when I press and hold IFF button, but all friendly and hostile targets remain yellow.

Had the same thing with a wingman. He ended up hitting a friendly. We got around it by both selecting mode 3 for interrogation and transponder, and setting a mode 3 code, we just picked 7777. Then it worked for some reason.

IFF was working in multiplayer earlier today on non-magic servers for reference. Potentially a magic only bug?

Magic IFF is working only for M6 this patch and only shows friendly.

 

It might be change to a more FC3 style IFF(direct green / red) and disregard the IFF mode at a later point (Magic IFF only). (Still under discussion)

Confirmed. Why o why messing up something already worked ok.

Confirm that Magic IFF is indeed working in multiplayer under mode 6.

 

IFF tests

 

JF-17 vs JF-17 (same team)

Magic IFF works correctly, M6, returns as friendly

 

M2k vs JF-17 (Client/Host switched roles confirmed both ways) (same team)

Magic IFF works correctly, M6, returns as friendly

 

Su-27 vs JF-17 (Host is JF-17) (same team)

Magic IFF works correctly, M6, returns as friendly

 

JF-17 vs JF-17 (opposite teams)

Magic IFF works correctly, M6, returns as unkown (which I believe to be correct)

 

Additionally, no false positives against enemy aircraft. Tested against F-16,18,15,14,M2k,Su-27 All returned as unkown
