I have been playing SH5 [patched to 1.2 and modded with the Reaper7 Stadimeter Mod V1.2 and the Torpedo_Speed_Abilitie_Fix_for_TDC_SH5_v120] for some weeks now. In game, its early January, the first 3 Total Germany missions are completed and I am on 'extra' patrols waiting for the 4th [Weserübung] mission to trigger come march. Using the above mods and getting the AOB and speed from the map I can reliably hit targets up to 5000 metres away. So, all has been good!
Then, in the forums, I came across the NewUIs_TDC_5_1_0_ByTheDarkWraith. It sounded good enough to try. So I installed it and its companion NewUIs_TDC_v5_1_0_patch_3 [having disabled the other 2 mods first] and tweaked the .py file for TDC spread angle only. It seems to have activated properly. All the officer icons ect. appeared and I now have a whole bunch of new commands that I no idea even existed. Great!!! The problem is I now can't hit a target for toffee. I click on the space button to highlight a target, I click on the original XO icon to bring up the original TDC, I id the target with the rec. manual, I then click on one of the new officer icons [Icant remember which one off the top of my head] which then allows me to 'lock' the target and I then press the speed of target icon. I then get the AOB off the map as usual and use the original stadometer as before. The problem seems to be with the speed of the target function. Sometimes it just says calculating speed of the target, but the does nothing. Sometimes, after an age, it will report some nonsense like: 0 Knts or 77 Knts. It also consistantly gives the wrong AOB [as compared to a map measured AOB]. Calculating the AOB and range before pressing the speed of the target function makes no difference at all.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong. I would love to use this interface and would loathe going back to my earlier configuration with its reduced [albeit accurate] functionality.
Thanks in anticipation.
