Hi guys - noobie question - I'm using the TDW 6.4.0 UI mod and learning to manually enter the parameters for the torpedoes while looking at the target through the periscope or deck-mounted binoculars.

How to you get the XO to prompt you for the range, AOB, ship type etc values instead of just saying "Following your bearing, sir" when you hit the space bar???

I'm actually doing quite well with the manual targetting when actually prompted for the parameters and scoring some reasonable shots, but sometimes I get the XO prompt for the parameters and sometimes I get "Following your bearing" instead which seems to mean I just point the crosshairs in front of the ship and hope I guessed the right amount of 'lead'.

Sorry this might not be entirely clear - I'm assuming the proper way to set the parameters such as range and AOB is via the underlined values in the XO message. When I hit 'space' to select a target, somehow I sometimes get that message (Turn TDC on? followed by the underlined message?") and sometimes "Following your bearing, sir" with the ony response "Never mind.".

Any clues appreciated.

Thanks
