104th_Maverick Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 As a mission editor do I need to do anything to make sure the IFF system works for clients flying online in the 104th server? I've had conflicting reports that I may need to add a text line to the mission description (really?) or that I don't need to do anything at all and that the client is 100% responsible for making sure IFF works. Apart from adding the aircraft in to the mission and give it a default frequency, is there anything else I need to do?

uboats Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 If you want to simplify the IFF put MAGIC_IFF in mission description, then all client jf-17 will be forced to use simplified IFF. Then, if players select INT M6, all friends will be green, while unknown/enemy will be yellow If players select INT M1/M2/M3A, fc3 iff (in next update, will remove this, and force players to use M6 only) Now iff doesn't depend on frequency. Hope ED can bring us a more realistic IFF.

104th_Maverick Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) So all I have to do is paste MAGIC_IFF in to my regular mission brief? I noticed you mention mission 'description' what is meant by this? Is it different from the mission brief?

Oceandar Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Just tried Liberty mission for quick test and read the briefing and I honestly doubt players would understand the meaning of magic_iff unless it has direct effect on how JF-17 iff performs which I didnt find. It would be better to say "every JF-17 pilot need to activate IFF M6 code ". Btw @uboats why some friendly flight symbol shown as triangle on DL. I thought all friendly should appears as green circle. Only friendly JF-17 clearly shown as green circle. Its confusing. Edited December 6, 2019 by Oceandar Mastering others is strength.
