I think I can give a logical explaination of why this can happen even without setkeys or manual tinkering with commands.cfg files. As some of you probably know already the button that opens the TDC in this mod also TOGGLES the manual/auto state of the TDC. So the problem occurs when the TDC is already in manual mode when you bring the panel up, which will turn it into auto and lock the dials. As some of you already concluded this can happen if you use setkeys or change the commands.cfg (german or english).

But it can also happen without any keyboard input because there is a second switch for the TDC, in stock and this mod any any other mod I have seen. This button can be accessed by right clicking on your weapons officer (or his icon). That will bring you to the TDC but in 3D-view. This is like a second fully functional TDC station, not as practical as the 2D but it looks nice! Somewhere in the middle is the switch you are looking for and it's state is indicated by green or red light next to it. I think green is for manual and red is auto. Clicking this button an odd number of times will make your TDC out of sync in OLC GUI. For simplicity it's probably a good idea to stay clear of this station when using this mod. But if you do get that problem for whatever reason, you can fix it here.
