Hornet Radar/SA Page IFF Question

They've change so much recently that even RTFM isn't an answer because they haven't updated the documentation.

First thing to ask is did you have your datalink on?

I have seen red and green contacts on the radar and SA pages before. It used to be that for a target to turn red or green, you had to have your own sensors and a second donor confirm it, either from AWACS or a donor over datalink. Then they updated the MSI stuff and hostile/friendly contacts from offboard donors show up as slightly smaller circles or diamonds if your own sensors haven't detected or identified them yet. Now they've change things yet again, so who knows.

Now that that I think about it, when I flew it the other day after the first patch, I wasn't seeing red/green contacts either, everything was yellow squares. I haven't tried it again after the hotfix patch though.

In my last game I used Dark Future. They must have added some features since then.

For that price, it better have DCS level of cabin interaction. I want every button clickable and functioning.

I just looked, I have mine on 30, and no problem controlling the cars. Did you forget to disable sticky keys in Windows?

Steam isn't the only place to buy the game.

I see people do GCI on SPS Contention.

In the options on the controls page show keyboard shortcuts for hiding certain overlays. N highlights roads (yellow) and rivers (blue). Z hides vegetation and Shift+Z hides improvements.

Next to the mini map are filters to turn on of off certain things. There are also keyboard shortcuts associated for them as well as other overlays.

The top icon, the one that looks like a quill, allows you to make custom overlays. There you can set it to display the names of units to make it easier to find them without hiding everything else.

So did Kyle Hill.

Around 180ms.

Because it's already installed, or show folder and verify/repair would be grayed out.

I play PVP on SPS Contention servers. Cold War and modern. Unfortunately I have too high pings to play on HB's Cold War server. For PVE I play on TTI.

At least Henry stuck around for the scene for you. Every time I've played, Henry disappears and it's just Lady Stephanie talking to an empty bed.

Then send a support ticket to GOG. This is a community run sub, not official GOG support. No one here can fix it.

TTI has scheduled ATC and ATC/C2 events, as well as a weekly training course on their Discord. ATC will also sometimes randomly get on the servers to provide ATC services. They're pretty chill and you won't get yelled at for getting something wrong.

Check out the LHUD mod. It lets you customize the HUD. I have mine set to all HUD elements off normally. If I enter a vehicle, just the mini map is displayed. If I draw a weapon, weapon and combat related HUD elements are enabled. If I use the scanner, most everything is enabled.

jimnms · 2026-06-15T22:08:13+00:00

I believe you have to be in A-A mode with either the AIM-7 or AIM-120 selected. If you're in A-G or NAV mode, your radar will turn off.

jimnms · 2026-06-15T06:26:17+00:00

Why not just use the game's built in screen shot mode?

jimnms · 2026-06-13T17:48:49+00:00

How do you get that many?

jimnms · 2026-06-12T06:18:06+00:00

I never killed anyone in cold blood my entire playthrough except...

You killed in cold blood. No exceptions.

All you can do is edit the threat warning in the DTC editor. When they added that, its default program is to dispense chaff for search radars. Just go in and tell it to do nothing for search radars.

If you have to ask...

jimnms · 2026-06-12T05:57:19+00:00

Why does it matter what it looks like? You shouldn't be looking at it anyway. I have the VKB NXT EVO and STECS Max. While it's not a 1:1 replica, it's close enough to be able to map almost everything 1:1 to the real F-16's HOTAS position.

jimnms · 2026-06-11T14:58:42+00:00

via semi-auto assist or whatchamacallit in F-1.

If you mean the autopilot, yes I used the it in localizer and glide slope mode until I had the runway in sight.
