thanks very much for your help but I've had another try and still need a bit more hand-holding through the actual key-presses:

What I think I'd like to do is use the TDW 6.4.0 dials to set all the values for the torpedo targetting solution e.g. I have been able to set the torpedo speed with the three-position switch and change the torp depth, but that's about it. I'm guessing this is the way a user is expected to use the TDW modded UI:

I look at the target through the scope, hit the space bar so a little yellow triangle appears under the target (sometimes?) and sometimes I get the XO dialog that prompts for the underlined range, speed, AoB values. If I hit the 'X' key the scope conveniently follows the target so I don't have to track it manually while I'm inputting the other values. When I get the XO underlined dialog up I'm good-to-go with mouse-clicks on that although I'd rather be turning the TDW dials.

E.g. I have never been able to adjust the AoB values on the TDW dial, I've tried left-click, right-click, rotating the mouse wheel but am not sure what I'm looking for.

I've seen the XO dialog say "turn TDC on"+"Never mind" and then "turn TDC off"+"Never mind" but once I'm in that loop I can't work out how to get the dials to work or get the underlined dialog to show up.

I'm sure this thread looks dopey to anyone who knows what they're doing, apologies - please think back to when you were a noob like me...

cheers,
