Will RIO target the friendly planes?

[scommander2]

In the multiplayer environment, RIO could not identify which planes are friendly or hostile to cause I shoot down the friendly plane.  

 

Any suggestion?

Do you tell Jester to Lock Target Ahead or Lock Enemy Target Ahead?

 

Lock Target ahead he tries to Lock any Target Ahead without IFFing.

Lock Enemy Target Ahead he only tries to Lock a Target he IFFed as Enemy.

I had select none of them because it was about 40nm away with AIM-54 was selected, and RIO made the target blinking on my VID.

Thanks.

Maybe the friendly didn't turn on their IFF.

Thanks... is it a way to on /  off IFF?

Having IFF on or not as the target does not matter in DCS (with the exception of JF-17 vs JF-17)

Seriously? 

[scommander2]

At least, I read HB F-14 manual and it said IFF does not implement in DCS.

I  need to check F-16/18.

In TWS the system will produce firing solutions for ALL targets unless they are specifically marked friendly, or specifically excluded. The AWG9 can’t see if a data link matched bogey is friendly. It’s your job to be sure you aren’t firing on a friendly. It’s part of why you have a TID repeater.

My suggestion is to not worry so much - it makes life much less stressful if you just relax and let the chips fall where they may.  To borrow a phrase, caedite eos!  To borrow another phrase, Raytheon Technologies doesn't give a hoot, continuous rods stick to pilots.

 

 

Why yes, I like the GS server, why ever might you have asked???!
