The problem I'm having now is that my torps aren't hitting anything. My solutions are all jacked up. Here's my JSGME mods list:

1 Trigger Maru Overhaul 2-5 (grayed out)
1 TMO 25 Small Patch (grayed out)
RSDC TMO V502 (grayed out)
RSDC V5xx Patch1
1.5 Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502 (grayed out)
1.5 OTC US Radar from Start for RSRDCv502 (grayed out)
1.5 OTC Realistic Scopes for 8.5 to 4.8 RSRDCv502
Improved Ship Physics 2.6 TMO RSRDC OTC
3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1360x)
Bigger Better Protractors

Mods that say "Grayed Out" are light gray in my Activated Mods list. I'm hoping that doesn't mean there are conflicts.

My biggest problem seems to be with range. The recognition manual says to take stadimeter range from the funnel of most ships, but when I do that, the range gathered is pretty far from the actual range. Even ignoring that and measuring from the top of the masts doesn't give me accurate range either, though it's closer than the Funnel method.

My solution info on the position keeper on the left is all wrong. The red lines on the outer and inner rings for my ship at the bottom and the enemy ship at the top simply will not line up. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong anymore. Can anyone help?

Thanks!!
To begin with... conflicts is more in line with using mods that aren't designed to work with other mods. or mod sets... or not designed for the SH4 version you have. Some mods are designed for SH4 v 1.4 & other mods are designed for SH4 v 1.5 & the 2 different mods, don't mix or play well together. It's important to make sure when you grab mods, again.. that they are for the correct version of SH4 you have. There are mods that are designed to be able to be used for both versions, but.. I think those kind are rare...

As for the graying out of mods, in your list...

1 Trigger Maru Overhaul 2-5 (grayed out, after TMO patch was activated...)
1 TMO 25 Small Patch (grayed out, after RSDC TMO V502 was activated...)
RSDC TMO V502 (grayed out, after RSRDC patch, was activated...)
RSDC V5xx Patch1
1.5 Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502 (grayed out, after 1.5 OTC US Radar from Start for RSRDCv502, was activated...)
1.5 OTC US Radar from Start for RSRDCv502 (grayed out, after 1.5 OTC Realistic Scopes for 8.5 to 4.8 RSRDCv502, activated...)
1.5 OTC Realistic Scopes for 8.5 to 4.8 RSRDCv502
Improved Ship Physics 2.6 TMO RSRDC OTC
3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1360x)
Bigger Better Protractors

This graying out of mods in the list, is pretty much a normal function & NOT something to be stressed about or worried about.

As for the trouble with the torps... am not sure on what could be the cause of that.. & on that note, am going to bow out & let more... knowledgeable simmers take on that aspect of your post here.

I do hope what I was able to reply on, was helpful...

Fair winds, smooth seas... & Good huntin'.
