Since we dont have any info on how IFF is displayed, we will have to guesstimate.

How do people suggest it should be displayed on MI/TI.

For example on F16, the radar echoes on radar screen is shortly replaced by numbers that tells which IFF interrogations they have passed. Right now its manual, so have to click a key to display it.

Maybe something like make an IFF interrogate key, that interrogates selected contact. This data is kept as long as the target remains in the radar scope. If it's lost, in needs to be re-selected and interrogated again

NikolaiVChr commented 4 years ago

Could do something like that, but I would prefer something that interrogated all contacts in radar field.

Rudolf339 commented 4 years ago

Yeah, that's probably more practical

colingeniet commented 3 years ago

I went for:

Selected target is always interrogated.
ctrl-F interrogates the target under the MI cursor, without locking it (so that it is possible to IFF without lock). Friendly targets are marked with a big cross on MI and HUD.
