Frozen TDC
 

Hey guys-

Using GWX and OLC. Twice now in the past few weeks, my TDC has frozen... or rather, when I call it up, it's on auto so I can't change anything, but it recalculates as I change my bearing- I can only assume it's in manual mode when closed.


Anyone else has this issue?

There should be a small switch to the lower left of those dials that locks and unlocks them.

If that doesn't work, then you may need to enable "Manual Targeting" realism setting.

yeah- that dial brings up the TDC- normally it also switches it too... but now when i click it and the TDC comes up, but I can't twiddle the dials.

manual targeting is on

I've had occasional glitches with that knob. Sometimes it would spontaneously reverse its function, and only allow dial tweaking in the 'off' or 'locked' position.

I suggest you save and reload the game; see if the problem persists. Also check to see if you've installed any conflicting mods recently.

no conflicting mods, loading saved game- problem persists.

So long as I line up with a ship 500 m away that's either moving directy toward or away from me, or isn't moving at all, and I'm set.

elsewise... UGH! And I have nearly a full load of eels too!

So it's broken on both the attack scope AND the TDC screen?

What about the UZO?

Yup- everywhere! :(

bump- help??? :(

Yup, that's a known glitch with the OLC mods. As far as I am aware, there is no known cause of yet. There is a temporary fix though. (it might get stuck again later in the game) Go to the TDC-table in the 3D compartment and click the TDC Auto Update Light. That releases the 2d wheels and it works again as it should.

I find it odd that reloading the game doesn't fix it. Usually all GUI elements get reset to default when reloading a savegame.
