Systems
Full IFF simulation
The system is compatible with cooperating aircraft (e.g. M-2000C, F1, JF-17, F-15E, Harrier and more). Other aircraft, or AI-controlled aircraft fall back to coalition based interrogation. Mission makers can set properties for AI aircraft.

Overhaul: LD-10 and SEAD operations
Display
Support HUD/HSD new envelope
Add TDC cursor on MFCD HSD page
Kneeboard page lists selected EW target types
SMS programs
Total 4 modes: ACT, PAS, RAND, and SP
ACT mode: suppress pre-defined radar types in pre-planned areas
Allow to pre-select 4 EW targets
Require to set EW target type in ME or by ground crew config panel
Require to assign each target with an area coord (from ME navigation point panel \[PP1…PP4] by mission maker, or from F10 label via DTC, or manually enter the coordinates into channels 36-39 via UFCP)
Target 1~4 are bound to PP1~4, respectively
Click R4 to command the LD-10 seeker to start searching for a signal. If the desired signal is captured, HUD/SMS will show RDY, otherwise it shows T/O (timeout).
LOFT is available due to distance information being installed.
PAS mode
Desired target type (RWR contact) is selected by TDC on HSD
Require signal search and acquisition before launch
No distance information (no LOFT) by default unless measured (i.e with SPJ pod).
If RWR contact is measured, L5 shows ACCU, otherwise C/A.
Note: measuring selected RWR contact by maneuvering will come later
RAND mode
Search and random acquisition of probably most lethal signal ahead
SP mode
Remain same as before
No need to manually search for an acquisition.
EW CMP
ON: to compare whether the captured signal by seeker is exactly what the pilot wants (either pre-defined or from RWR designated by TDC). Cost longer search time.
OFF: do not compare. The seeker, therefore, could capture other similar signals (radar signal similarity is defined in DTC_EW_Database.lua under ChinaAssetPack/DTC/). Cost shorter search time.
Pilots is not allowed to launch the missile without a signal acquisition, unless pressing HOTAS T2 to override the launch authorization
SAM radar signal fingerprint is pre-defined under ChinaAssetPack/DTC/. Customized databases to support community mods are also supported.
Customization
revised infrastructure of radio/rwr/airspace (need to change filename and location)
sample lua under Mods/aircraft/JF-17/Customization/xxx/sample/
support EW database customization for SEAD
Added: add a slider in special option to adjust transparency of MFCD base (default 50%)

Updated: add F-14BU into RWR database
Skin: add Azerbaijan Fighter Jaguars Squadron made by Aqil Huseynov
DCS: MB-339A/PAN by IndiaFoxtEcho Visual Simulation
Fixed wheel brake control indicators showing as permanently pressed in the DCS controls overlay.
Fixed Flight Director behavior during outbound radial interception.
Added automatic transition logic from HDG to RNAV when intercepting the selected radial.
Changed RNAV/radial intercept angle from 30 degrees to 45 degrees.
Fixed VOR/TACAN command generation:
Within 10 degrees: FD generates a 45-degree intercept command.
Beyond 10 degrees: FD does not generate misleading steering commands.
Fixed ILS localizer command gating:
NAV commands are generated only within 2.5 degrees of the localizer.
Outside 2.5 degrees, RADIO NAV annunciation now shows both HDG and RADIO NAV as required.
Fixed glide slope capture logic:
GS activates only within 0.5 degrees of the glide slope.
Confirmed one GS dot equals 0.5 degrees.
GS capture is limited to within one dot.
Improved GS ARM behavior:
When GS ARM is selected, the pitch bar holds the aircraft attitude present at selection.
ALT HOLD with GS ARM maintains altitude until the glide slope is within one dot.
Prevented premature pitch commands before valid glide slope capture.
Improved FD mode transitions so the bars do not command invalid or confusing guidance outside capture limits.
Fixed DEFA pods firing automatically when selected after using the bomb fuze switch.
Fixed incorrect pressure-to-altitude calibration.
Corrected the conversion so that 1 hPa / mbar corresponds to approximately 27.3 ft at ISA conditions.
Removed the previous excessive response where 1 hPa produced roughly 130 ft of altitude change.
Altimeter initialization now follows mission pressure at spawn.
Aircraft altitude indication is now adjusted consistently with the pressure setting provided by the mission/weather environment.
Improved instrument behavior across cold start, ground start, and air start scenarios.
Added functional IR seeker behavior for heat-source acquisition.
Implemented missile-specific acquisition tuning for AIM-9J, AIM-9P, AIM-9L, Magic I and Magic II.
Added seeker audio state modulation:
Low tone: seeker active, no heat source detected.
Medium tone: heat source detected.
High tone: target locked with seeker uncaged.
Nose Wheel Steering command behavior updated:
On ground: toggles NWS as before.
In flight: used for Sidewinder cage/uncage.
