Jester Transponder Code Settings For Multiplayer

As the title sounds, having a Jester menu option to change IFF codes and turn on/off certain mode functions would be great, and here is why:

1. Jester currently has M4 off during normal startup, and keeps it off throughout the sortie, and this results in other aircraft's IFF not getting friendly returns through their datalink
2. My group is considering implementing IFF codes into our deployments, and part of that is using LotATC to automatically recognize specific codes to display mission type, package number, etc. for specific aircraft/flights and part of the discussion inevitably ended up being that Jester crewed tomcats would just read (00)0000 with no indication of what that aircraft is, are they a friendly, what it's mission type is, or what his package he is a part of. 
3. Further development of IFF inside of DCS may call for this at some point, and having Jester be able to set it up now for single human crewed tomcats may make life easier for the future.
4. Switches are already working and have values set to each, just an action to change it from the front seat as a "Jester" pilot would be helpful for multiplayer.

Implementation

  • A default IFF code can be considered, or remained at (00) 0000 for mode 1 and mode 3. 
  • Changing IFF codes could be done through the F-14 kneeboard, similar to how laser codes are changed, or can be done through the Jester menu. 
  • Jester default start up turns M4 
  • Preset IFF codes can be done in the mission editor in the "additional options" section.

And another one on top of that, the Ky-28 encryption functionality with single crew would be awesome to have for multiplayer when you only have jester
