Pikey Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Quote At Final Release: Addition of Identify Friend or Foe interrogation system. The meaning of this is not that the Mig-29A will come without any functioning automatic mode 4 that the multiplayer community rely on, but a system will be built. There's been some built by third parties already, but they only work in limited ways. DCS hasn't done anything in this area before. To date, ED hone new systems on a single module. So I think this line is under the radar for its significance, since its saying there will be an ED IFF system of transponders, codes and interogators and the implication is that its an actual system that will be in use across modules. What do you think? What do you wish for in that system? Would you like your own side engaging with you if your transponder is out? SAM's with or without interogators? Rules of engagement? It's a big topic. 2 ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 No sure what you mean, but this is exactly what I said. A new IFF system coming to DCS. It's a big deal, its a co-announcement. 1 ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmp Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The Hornet also had a simplified IFF in the beginning and once it got its final (?) iteration, we didn't get a new system spanning all modules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean? The Hornet still has the simplified magic IFF that all ED aircraft use. 5 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

I mean initially we had an even more simplified system in place. Thus we shouldn't assume that this announcement means there's some major IFF overhaul in the works that will span the entire game. Perhaps just some of the IFF features will be missing initially (like the auto IFF was initially missing in the Hornet). I hope what ED wants to do here is an overhaul of the entire system, but the announcement doesn't explicitly state that.

felixx75 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 With the M2000C, Razbam has already introduced a completely new, functioning IFF that the F-15e also has. Aerges has now also implemented this system for their F1. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
