169th_DedCat Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Any chance of this being addressed in the upcoming patch for 1.1? Having to rely on NCTR alone in STT makes using the AACQ modes in the Eagle a real pain in any mission where the same aircraft are on both sides. From what I understand from my past sim experience, the PDT or STT contact should "mipple" or flash between a star and a circle on the radar when you have a friendly locked. I'm sure there should be some indication of a friendly IFF squak displayed on the HUD too. We have STT IFF in all the Russian birds, but not the Eagle.

GGTharos Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Good that you bring it up; it's been brought up a number of times, and we got (IIRC) a fairly reliable source telling us that the EID cue is a box inside the target box on the HUD.

169th_DedCat Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 Great to hear it's at least being looked into. I know it has been mentioned a few times before (I've mentioned it a few times before :rolleyes: ), but I haven't heard anything about it for a while--this seemed like a good time.

Asterix28573 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hi, Just a bump to this thread because I was going to post about the same question. ¿Is there any IFF indication in the F-15 when using AACQ modes? Yesterday night I was playing on a server (can't remember which one...) where vulching was allowed (np with that...), and our (Blue) airbase was under constant attack. Hostile fighters around the airbase launched missiles to me even before I could retract my gear, so if I was lucky enough to dodge them I (and the others too) had the time only to activate VS/Bore modes and lock the first A/C around and launch a missile back, without being sure if it was friendly or not. Obviously I downed some friendlies and some friendlies downed me ;). In understand that this is normal in such a WildWest situation (Pilotasso dixit, IIRC), but this sure hadn't been happened (at least for my part) if I had been riding a RF fighter. Or maybe I've missed something for the F-15...? Best regards, Asterix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophet_169th Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 My current IFF stance is: It is better to beg for forgiveness, than plead for permission. I have had a good record of not shooting down friendlies. But only because I havent had many furballs where I didnt know who was who. Most of the time when with a wingman I keep an eye on him, and so I dont lock him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
