Hello,

well thanks, i will try the automatic method first, but ...

i want to enter the enemy speed into the torpedo screen manually, you know this smaler map with the dials at the rigth,

Now say i have seen an enemy ship at some distance and angle here, and 3.x minutes later at some distance and angle there, i can easily find out what his speed is - but how do i enter it into the speed dial, so that the TDC accepts it ?

I have to click on the right knob once, so the lights go on, and i am able to manually set the enemy speed in the dial.

BUT what do i do THEN ?

If i simply let the setting as it is, without again clicking on the knob the TDC will not accept it - still reads 0 knots.

Same happens when i click on the knob so the illumination lights go out again, it is as well not being sent to the TDC - What am i doing wrong here ?!

Or is it indeed being sent to the TDC, but is just not shown at the right notepad under "speed" - and if it is that way, have i to turn the knob on, or off, after setting the speed manually ?

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
