IFF in SP

[GrEaSeLiTeNiN]

Hi,

 

So for IFF in SP, we basically use Mode 6 and returns would either be Green Friendly) or Yellow (Unknown/Possibly Hostile). That's about it right? Is there more to IFF in SP?

 

Thanks

Correct, Mode 6 in the JF-17 (and DCS) functions as Mode 4. In other words, it can only guarantee that an aircraft, with a valid reply (same Mode 6 code) is friendly. An aircraft with no or an invalid reply cannot guaranteed to be hostile by Mode 6.

 

I suggest reading up on Chuck's Guide, he does a good job explaining how IFF works in the Jeff.

In SP, you can use either Mode1 or Mode6. Mode1 is much like a magic IFF in SP.

A detailed IFF tutorial can be found on Deka's Youtube channel.

mode 2 can be used to find a specific A/C

Thanks guys I went through the manuals and videos but it felt like it was for MP, wasn’t sure if it worked the same in SP. Anyway I did the Mode 6 in SP but saw the limitation as described - it’s either green (friendly) or yellow (unknown). If there was no Link17 or AWACS to confirm a hostile, what does one do with a yellow contact?
