Flapjacks Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I know this is some type of IFF thing but can someone explain more about this? I didn't see much mentioned in the manual. Is it functional? should I turn it on?
doedkoett Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 It is the "Non Cooperative Target Recognition". I can't see any downside to having it turned on. What it does is that it compares the radar signature of your current target to a library and, if everything works, spits out what kind of aircraft you´re looking at. It doesn't tell you if it's friendly or not. That's the other IFF´s job. But if the enemy have Mig-29 and your side does not, a "Mig-29" as a response might be all you need. It seems to work only in certain aspects. Have not been playing around with it much, but head on aspects seems to work best. 2
Flapjacks Posted July 5, 2023 Author Posted July 5, 2023 Where does it show the aircraft type? In tews?
doedkoett Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 On the A2A radar screen. Flip NCTR to on, Lock a target heading towards you, interrogate using coolie right, and a text telling you the aircraft type should appear as long as you hold the coolie to the right. It takes a sec or two for the interrogation to take place.

I think you can coolie right in AA radar and get the aircraft type without the need to flip the NCTR switch.In the manual they mention that NCTR switch it is not implemented yet. Maybe this switch will automatically identify the aircraft type when implemented. 1
