You only get the green triangle when your using auto targeting ... manual TDC operation does not display the triangles. (At least for me they haven't.)

Yes, I am using auto targeting. I get several colors of triangles. Green means it's the best solution for fireing a torpedo.

So, I'm still wondering. Do I need to get a green triangle? Or will any lock (color triangle) work?

I have no idea, sorry.

Well, I did it. Here is a screenshot of the Photo Button in the Toolbar.

1. I just had to lock on to a few boats and click the toolbbar photo icon.
2. It didn't matter what color the triangle was (how good the firing solution was).
3. After a few photos, the photo button was disabled from then on, and the mission was marked completed in the Objectives clipboard.
4. Also, the Star on the Map was grayed out. Mission Completed.

Had one of these last night, now I know what I was doing wrong, took a butt-kicking because of it:yep:

How do you get those green icons in the task bar?
I'm assuming that the green icon indicates that the action has been activated.
Mine are always yellow.

There is a mod for this, look under Updated Mods for 1.3. In the mods forum.
Welcome to SUBSIM:up: by the way.

If installing mods use JSGME, the Mod Enabler, on my sig. is a great guide on how to use. Get it here from this post, it is located at

Wow. Thanks for the welcome and the very fast response.
I'll download the mods and take a look.
Thanks for your help.

No problem. If you have not used JSGME check out that guide I referred to earlier, it takes a bit of getting used to, but is a must when installing mods :yep:

Post if you have any questions.

I've downloaded JSGME
The other files I can't get at the moment.
The filefront.com server page won't load.
I'll try it later.
It'll give me time to read the docs for JSGME

Thanks.

This is an alternative link:http://www.mediafire.com/?1inzyy1wj34

Good luck with JSGME, a great program.

I hate to be a nuisance RDP, but that link won't load either. :cry:

Not a nuisnance, just tried it and it works on this end. Not sure what the problem might be. Give it a few and try d\l again later. Both links are located on CCs' Pacific Map Mod I posted.
