periscope and tdc

Hi,

In the Heinz Schaeffer book (U-977) he explains that the periscope and maybe the UZO (can't remember exactly) were linked to the TDC with some kind of mechanic wheels so when moving the periscope (for example you adjust the aim to a specific weak point) the TDC would automatically update the solution too !

But when I practice manual targeting as explained at the end of the book, when I move the periscope the TDC value will stay the same. Am I missing something there ? Thx.

Are you sure the TDC is set to auto update? This is done at the TDC station (F6), when in manual mode you can enter data manually and the TDC will not update if you move the scope. When auto is on you can't enter data manually, but instead it will update automatically when you move your scope.

It appears you may have a few corrupted .bin files Mate. Compare the MD5 hash codes to each file with whats displayed below...

Users can verify GWX 2.0 file integrity with the following MD5 hash if they so choose:

D1FF0D6BFD651E869E323D393B1D5B1E GWX2.EXE
7B14767E3FD8DD9866D902D6CB4B69FE GWX2-1.BIN
2718CAD3259B5A43DF03AA88DEAB402B GWX2-2.BIN
AB9AF05BD89263A018F383EDA589DE90 GWX2-3.BIN
0FFDB16F197E159E61651DB5D805529A GWX2-4.BIN
753D95679C46DF2C54AF7E93B0CCB6EB GWX2-5.BIN

5BF3E05A81D0E4E09F331090FD3C4C7B GWX2-7.BIN

(and read very carefully all the instructions on the GWX download section)

Welcome aboard Kaleun Red Heat

Try ro ensure you get all the necessary files from the same mirror (just to be 100%).....and follow the installation instructions carefully from the GWX website (accessable from my sig)

Can we clear this up, once and for all.

The installer log does NOT indicate corrupt GWX files, It only checks the status of the SH3 Installation on your PC.

So, if you're getting those results, your installation is NOT a clean/unmodded SH3 1.4b.

Right.

Secondarily, if people are not using the SH3 disk to uninstall SH3... then residual files relating to the stock game may be left behind and 'flagged' by the GWX installer as being problematic.

Uninstall your game using the SH3 disk... then manually delete remaining SH3 files/mods in your Program Files/Ubisoft folder before building a new installation of SH3 patched to version 1.4b.

Doing so will save users and GWX user support personnel a great deal of confusion and consternation.

LOL! You've been here four years longer than I have. I'd hardly say that you were a 'bilge rat.'

Though the rest of us did start out as 'bilge-rats' here... its actually pretty cool to think back about such things...

... until you realize that the years are just flying by now... click click click click... Not getting any younger.
