Friendly or Enemies on FCR?
-
And IFF is not a magic wand. An interrogation does not confirm hostility.
-
There are various ways (because none of them are perfect). Including: asking AWACS (Q+2 “declare”), IFF interrogation, looking with TGP in A-A mode, cross-referencing between RWR and radar.
There’s a lot of information available while flying, be creative with it, practice good common sense and try to keep your situational awareness as good as possible

Disclaimer…… only works on F-16s with IFF interrogators.
Hmm… the callback for TMS left works with the F-15E for me. I assumed it did in all cockpits with an FCR (Harrier, Hornet, etc) but maybe not?

Also, going off of what Planehazza is saying I found this video very informative as to the limits of IFF.

Well to be clear that meant “F-16s with Interrogators”……some F-16s do not have them in BMS e.g. US Block 30/40.

Block 40 have it.

That`s right, there are no way to enable TGP for some missions, I have tried TGP, and it works.
but I am not clear about the application of TMS. -
@Master:
Does it have it in real life?
Bahrain and Turkey seem to have the only Block 40s with AIFF Bird Slicers.
The model doesn’t have them (unless that is because I have the JanHas set) but is in the avionics file so Lorik is right there.

Man i just love confirming ID with AA TGP. It just feels so cool!
But yeah, theater awareness/where you expect the hostile and friendly flights to be or come from, AWACS declare, IFF, TGP, visual…
-
Block 30’s do not have it. Can confirm from shooting down friendly MiG-21s in Balkans that it is always best to ask AWACS to declare if the target is hostile or not.
-
ask your wingman to shoot it if no iff and no tgp and no awacs, no wingman too?
-
Then you’ll have to get tally. Better take Sidewinders if you’re planning on flying in such conditions, too.

Won’t help in MP with other humans. And in SP has a bit of a cheating smell to me.

that’s right, on israel theater you might be confused with older blocks, they don’t response to IFF
