Where is the manual interrogation of the IFF ?

[heroe]

It seems that the manual interrogation of the iff with the right SCS is no longer available, only the automatic way works, why was it eliminated? or am i doing something wrong?

You need to depress and release the scs first, then quickly scs right.

Hi heroe,

it's still there, but you have to SCS depress and SCS right to do a manual interrogation.

oh wow, thank you so much it works perfect

SCS to the right always, regardless of the active DDI with radar?
Or SCS after SCS depress towards the active sensor?

For example, I have an active radar on the left DDI, right or left should I SCS ?

Should be depress then castle towards the attack format. So if the radar is on the left, depress then left. You should almost always keep the it on the right DDI though to avoid the ADV line on the left (plus the SCS logic supports ATTK on the right and AZ/EL on the left).

I prefer to have the radar page on the bottom screen behind the stick, so I need to depress SCS and then move towards the bottom.
(I actually don't do that, I just wanted to give another example on how it works)

Should be SCS depress and during holding depress move SCS towards of the attack format, correct?
Or SCS depress and release and then move SCS ?

It started out with the former, but then got changed to the latter AFAIK. Haven't used manual IFF a lot though, so I'm not entirely sure.

The latter: depress, release, move.

I just saw a video on f16, doing IFF in is sending the mark point via mids to the wingman, is the fa18 doing the same?

The Hornet doesnt send designations like the F-16 does. The Hornet uses Target Designate (TXDSG), which is enabled by default, and shares the aircraft's TGT on the network.

Some of the symbology has changed since this video came out, but it basically behaves like this:
