for Mode4, 5 for ModeC and 8 for ModeS (always confirm your entry with ENTR). In the picture above,
Mode1, 2, 3 & 4 are set to toggle. As you notice ModeC and ModeS are not highlighted and therefore
their state will not change upon reaching the position.
The actual position is set with the next scratchpad entry. DCS down to put the asterisks around the
“OF“. Positions are given in relation to cardinal direction and
INS steerpoints. Cardinal directions are on the ICP keypad 2
for North (the one on top), 6 for East (right), 4 for West (left)
and 8 for South (bottom). Once the scratchpad is correctly
placed input first the cardinal direction with 2, 6, 4 or 8 and
then input the steerpoint number. In the left picture I inputted
“6 3” for EAST OF steerpoint 3 (EOF3). Steerpoints are limited to 2 digits maximum but inputting one
digit is perfectly fine. Remember you can set a second position criterion by selecting page 2 of the
POS subpage with the up and down arrow.
With the above configuration, the modes 1, 2, 3 & 4 will be toggled when reaching a line EAST of
steerpoint 3.
The next IFF subpage is the Time criteria accessible with a further DCS right (SEQ).
Rather than setting position criteria to change IFF settings,
the time subpage allows pilots to set 12 different criteria
based on time. Time criteria do not impact modes, only codes
for the relevant modes. Only Mode1, Mode3 and Mode4
codes/keys can be changed with time criteria.
As with the POS subpage, time criteria are activated only when the TIM subpage is mode-selected.
Move the scratchpad to TIM with DCS up and hit 0 (M-SEL). TIM will then highlight.
Pilot can set 12 different time criteria: use the up and down arrow on the ICP to toggle between the
different criteria pages. The top right number will be updated accordingly. For instance you could set
time criteria for each hour during the next 12 hours.
Codes are inputted in the same manner as on the STAT
page: 2 digits for Mode1, 4 digits for Mode3 and toggling
between key A and key B is done by inputting “6” in the
scratchpad.
The time at which the IFF codes should change is input in the
next scratchpad position (00:00 in the picture above) which
you can select by moving the scratchpad with DCS down.
Time format must be inputted in hh:mm for 24hours. If you
want the criteria to change at 17:04
local, input “1 – 7 – 0 – 4
– ENTR”. At 17:04 local, the STAT page will report a code
change for the modes you set on the TIM page and will
display the last event change (in this case 17:04).
As you can see in the sequence of pictures on the left, the
IFF was set to change at 17:04 from Mode1:13, Mode3: 5627
and Mode4: A key to Mode1: 10; Mode3: 4173 & key B for
Mode4. Notice the code highlights on the STAT page that notify an event took place.
This all sounds complicated but bear in mind that IFF data comes preloaded into your DTC for typical
usage scenarios and pilots will not have to specify POS and TIME events from the cockpit, unless they
want to. The IFF system is set up just like the real thing though, so there is huge scope for mission
creators who want to explore its full potential.
For further information about IFF, please refer to the IFF chapter 1.16 later in this manual.
