Tripleinside Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi, I've read about the implementation of the IFF (great addition to DCS by the way), and even created a kneeboard page based on the Grim Reapers IFF tutorial (thanks to them) However, my buddies flying in F-16s in the same coalition as me, still identify my aircraft as foe (while I see them as friends correctly, after using either mode 1 or 3A IFF) Does this mean it is MANDATORY to execute the variable "MAGIC_IFF ON" in the mission in order for the other planes in the coalition to see the JF-17 as belonging to bluefor (for instance) ?? thanks Win10 x64, Intel core I9 9900k@5ghz, 32GB DDR4, RTX2080 ti, MSI Z370 Tomahawk mobo, M.2 SSD, Warthog HOTAS, home made trackIr, Pimax 8K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoot Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Do they not get the friend pop up from IFF, or do you mean they show you as hostile on datalink? The latter is a known bug with the Viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikonane Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It's not the Viper then? We have problems within our group with Vipers IFF:ing other Vipers as hostile as well. The Vipers IFF is confirmed bugged at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J20Stronk Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Viper IFF is borked, It even registers your ownship as hostile in the D/L. JF-17 IFF works fine, and so do other aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtd2811 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I can confirm its the viper. I was in the 4ya and fraternity servers and shot down two friendly 16s as they returned hostile Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Yeah, I'm pretty leery of flying the viper online on PVP servers at this point. Only on blueflag when red greatly outnumbers blue so at least the odds of me shooting at enemies are higher. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

sirPecka Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Afaik the Viper datalink it's showing contacts hostile if they're received from friendly Hornet. Manual IFF works as intended for me. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirPecka Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Oh, ok then. I read in different thread it was Hornet doing that. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think its necessarily the only possibility either. These were D/L link targets showing enemy, but were friendly. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

foxwxl Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 VIPER is using M4 IFF so it won't give U a hostile Red return just as Jeff's M6 IFF. IF U are looking at the DL, its current broken for viper and is a known issue for ED . Deka Ironwork Tester Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if its on the link in that case it shows hostile regardless of your own IFF?Manual IFF interrogation in Viper still works as intended, only DL contacts show as hostile. If you interrogate though, they will momentarily change (if they're friendly that is). If that was the question.

If you interrogate though, they will momentarily change (if they're friendly that is). If that was the question. That was what I was unclear on. Like I said I haven't flown the viper lately, and that would explain my last team kill experience in it (I just relied on the D/L).
