Feature Request: Jester set Mode 1/Mode 3 and/or custom Mode 1/3 settings in Mission Editor

[Home Fries]

With programs like LOTATC working with Modes 1 and 3 being set in DCS jets (allowing specific IFF combinations to automatically ID aircraft to controllers), being able to assign an IFF code for Modes 1 and 3 as a single pilot on a multiplayer server is becoming a useful feature.

 

Ideally, I would love to see the option to change Mode 1 and Mode 3 IFF from the front seat.  If not a Jester wheel command, then perhaps a way to change it on the kneeboard similar to the LGB laser code.  Additionally, being able to set the defaults in the mission editor would also go a long way to allow mission designers to assign custom IFF codes to each aircraft, which could then be assigned additional details for LOTATC.

 

Right now, single pilots in MP are out of luck.  Anything to allow IFF mode assignment from the front seat would be quite welcome.

This seems like it addresses the other tracked issue of having MP players unable to get proper datalink on hostiles?

Thank you for the great suggestion, we will take a look what we can do about this.
