Yeah, turn off travel mode when you're in an area where you can expect to see a target.

Still, even with the TCx1 button on, I never get the "ship sighted" message. I play with map contacts off, so I have to watch the TC, and when it drops (usually from 256 to 8 or 6, never to 1) I ask my watch officer to tell me if there's a target in sight (there usually is if the TC suddenly dropped; make sure you're not traveling at very high TC while looking for targets or the TC might drop too late). It's not perfect, but at least it works.
