Sure,

That's the Manual TDC 90deg tutorial mission.
Here you can see the red circles where things seem to be missing. I can't get past that part because I cannot activate my TDC.

The function

Code:

def EnsureStadimeterButtonVisible( value ):
	tdcison = ( GetTDCIsOn() or GetSextantActive() ) and value

inside Silent Hunter 5/data/Scripts/Menu/Page TDC.py

determines whether or not the Stadimeter button should be visible. By default it is basically visible if GetTDCIsOn() or GetSextantActive() returns true.

The change I did forces it to think that those are true, when they might not be. Since it was visible when I did that and I wasn't using the sextant it must mean that GetTDCIsOn() returned false before, and my change to set it to true is what made the stadimeter button become visible. However, just because the stadimeter button thinks that GetTDCIsOn() is true now, doesn't mean that it is, so clicking it does nothing, because it requires the TDC to work, which is why it did that check in the first place.

So my TDC isn't active.
