Bee_Sting Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 does the IFF switch work in the new patch? i know that the IFF switch is not used in 1.00 or 1.01.
RvETito Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 It still has no function. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
Heli Shed Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 The IFF function in the BlackShark sim is not functional as the subject has not yet been de-classified by the Russian Authorites. Top Tip: Use bullseye calls, coloured flares or the Abris for SA and ID purposes. 'T' Come pay us a visit on YouTube - search for HELI SHED
Kaiza Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 Even if it did work it wouldnt really make any difference to the game. The Ka 50 does not (as far as I am aware) have an IFF interrogator (these are integrated with a radar), so it will only identify you as friendly to other units with an interogator, it wont allow you to identify others as friendly. You have to do that via the means suggested above.

Stretch Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Would be nice to have the switches functional even if they have no effect on the game engine, so I can feel like I'm doing a realistic checklist flow. That's what I like about OpenFalcon ... configuring my mode-3 and setting the switches on fence check even though it doesn't make a lick of difference. Likewise for the radar altimeter, even though there's no people modeled that could get cancer from it.

AlphaOneSix Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 The switch itself is functional. Feel free to use it to simulate turning the IFF on and off.
Stretch Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Nice, I was referring to the panel below the wall though, behind the Shkval scan speed rotary. :) Tim "Stretch" Morgan 72nd VFW, 617th VFS Other handles: Strikeout (72nd VFW, 15th MEU Realism Unit), RISCfuture (BMS forums) PC and Peripherals: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RISCfuture/saved/#view=DMp6XL Win10 x64 — BMS — DCS — P3D
Martillo1 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 The switch itself is functional. Feel free to use it to simulate turning the IFF on and off. Simulating into a simulation? Indeed there is no spoon... Vista, Suerte y al Toro! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
