No, not at all.
The interior work is done. No more changes then what's already been added in the FOTRS 0.1Beta. I
do have a small change to the menu_1024_768.ini file to try to make the binocular compass stay at the top of the view when using larger monitor resolutions...but that's about all for that file.
The sensors have no effect on a working TDC/Position Keeper (I always think of the Position Keeper as the TDC....just in condensed form). With manual targeting, the sensors give you data to input
into the TDC, but that's about the extent of their connection. Auto-targeting uses a completely different way of figuring a firing solution...that's why when you target a ship and the PK reads 3246 yards to target.....it's nuts on accurate!
Speaking of sensors, this Sonar issue I'm running across has but a couple of explanations. Either the sub I'm using doesn't have its sonar sensor set up correctly, or the sonar sensor is switched with the hydrophone sensor behind the scenes in the hard coded files. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out their switched (Hydrophone for Sonar).....after all we've all seen the switch the stock game has between going to the A-Scope Radar screen after hitting the PPI station button.
I
will admit one thing about the sub I'm using that doesn't make sense. In my test mission I'm in mid 1945, using a Balao in the mission setup. In-game I'm in a Gar!?! Where's the Balao? It's not even offered at the single mission startup screen? Has FOTRS done something with the Balao entry dates? Just another head scratcher if you ask me.
