Been playing SH4 for years now and because of the limitations in the game of manually setting the TDC range greater than 6500 yds I have come up with a good process over the years. When I contact a target (usually radar) I mark it, get its speed and course and mark the course on the map and plot my intercept well ahead of target. When in position I will manually set my TDC range to max of 6500 yds, plug in the known target speed and estimated AOB when target gets within 6500 of boat. When target gets there and I have checked the speed and AOB I start the TDC running. This way, even if I am not tracking the target by radar or visually I can have a relatively accurate picture of the situation as long as target doesn't change speed or course.

Running FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v0.90 over clean SH4 v1.5 install. I can't set the TDC range dial to 6500 - closest I get is around 1240. In non-FOTRSU versions I just grabbed the range ring on outside of dial and spun it till it stopped and that was 6500. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
