-NMS- Ikaros Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Hello, i Set the IFF mode from UFC to On and the below 20 miles with NCTR on or off i press the Sensor switch depress with cursor over a target or STT locked and the target is never interrogated regardless of the conditions or if it is friendly - hostile, it always shows yellow - unknown. It used to work automatically in RWS mode with the cursor over a target but now it doesn't. What do i wrong?
hein22 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Hello, i Set the IFF mode from UFC to On and the below 20 miles with NCTR on or off i press the Sensor switch depress with cursor over a target or STT locked and the target is never interrogated regardless of the conditions or if it is friendly - hostile, it always shows yellow - unknown. It used to work automatically in RWS mode with the cursor over a target but now it doesn't. What do i wrong? The auto IFF in RWS while LTWS is on was removed as it was not realistic. NCTR doesn't have anything to do with radar IFF. Let's keep it outside this discussion for the sake of the interrogation issue you're experiencing. How do you know that it is not interrogating? Just because it stays unknown? If you don't have any donor providing bottom hafu data then all enemies will show as unknown. IFF works fine for me. Only with donors in the picture will you have an enemy HAFU. Hope it helps. Stay safe
-NMS- Ikaros Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks for replying again. So without donors it is impossible to ident a bogey? Can you give me instructions on how to use the Sensor switch to ident?
Tholozor Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Sensor Control Switch - Depress will command IFF interrogation on a contact that is either in STT or TUC.

Shimmergloom667 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Thanks for replying again. So without donors it is impossible to ident a bogey? Can you give me instructions on how to use the Sensor switch to ident? You need two sources of information together to form a hostile contact, unless you set it to hostile through PPLI. So for you alone: negative IFF response (which only ever is "unknown" by itself) and NCTR combined (NCTR only works in STT). Or offboard donors. i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

hein22 Posted November 24, 2020 Posted November 24, 2020 Also, NCTR only works at hot angles where the radar beam can paint the turbine fans. So if you are alone and IFF someone then it will be friendly if it responds to interrogation with correct code, or it will be unknown if it responds negative. Be careful before you shoot (IRL), in DCS just shoot, it will be enemy. Stay safe

That's why he posted and we explained how it worked. Stay safe

-NMS- Ikaros Posted November 24, 2020 Author Posted November 24, 2020 Ok guys i found what was wrong. I had a double key bind assigned (alt-') for SCW and it wasn't working even it showed that it was working on control options, now i assigned it to (J) and it works perfectly. :) Thank you all!
