[REL] Radar Training for Nisgeis' 3D TDC and Radar Range Unit UPDATED: 7/31/10

[John Channing]

The purpose of this thread is to show how to use the modified Radar and TDC created by Nisgeis to establish a contact's position, course and track, and to enter a solution into the TDC using only Radar.

First up: Establishing the contact's initial position, course and track.

OK... thanks for waiting!

Here is part two. In this tutorial we will pick up where the last one left off. We are now ready to put a solution into the TDC.

Part 2...







































Because the course setting function does not really explain well in pictures I have uploaded a brief video showing a two step process for getting the contact's course onto the TDC.

With practice you can do it in one step, but to start I used 2.

Good Hunting!

Looks good . Could it be condensed a bit with more than one image per post? You'll never fit the rest of it in like that .

How do you get those views looking down on the radar?

[John Channing]

Using TMO 1.5 all you have to do is left click anywhere except a radar screen and use your mouse to move you view around. Not sure if this works the same is later versions of TMO, but I woul be suprosed if it didn't.

I have an earlier TMO and when I try to activate the mod I get these conflicts...
"NSS_Gato_CT.dat" has already been altered by the "RFB_v1.4S" mod.
"NSS_Gato_CT.sim" has already been altered by the "RFB_v1.4S" mod.
"Cameras.dat" has already been altered by the "Clayp's Optics for RFB 1.4" mod.
"Sensors_sub_US.sim" has already been altered by the "RFB_v1.4S" mod.
"menu_1024_768.ini" has already been altered by the "Clayp's Optics for RFB 1.4" mod.
"Common_TDC_Gauges_01.dds" has already been altered by the "RFB_v1.4S" mod.

[John Channing]

Most of the mods you are using are for RFB, not TMO. Try putting it in and see what happens. The worst thing that can happen is that it screws something up, and then you can just take it back out again.

It's really worth it!

Thank you very much for this. I just installed this mod, as my previous career just ended due to a lucky depth charge and frantic gun battle. I sunk one of the escorts, but there other one got me.

Now I'll have to learn this radar stuff.

Easy to follow. I got it on the first reading. Very very cool mod. Adds a lot!

[John Channing]

I kinda screwed up the thread a bit (by putting all of the slides on seperate posts and then deleting them.... such a n00b) so I am glad you were able to follow it.

Wait until you see how cool the TDC is. When you get a working solution in it and are able to follw it as it develops while the contact is still miles away it unbeatable.

Ever since I read "Shinano: The Sinking of Japan's Secret Supership" by Joseph Enright (captain of the USS Archer-fish) I have wantd to do this. Now I can!

And so can you!

Looks really good. Hope you don't condense the TDC part ... 'cause, so far, I'm following along quite well. Each picture is worth at least a thousand words.

[John Channing]

If anything it will be a little more in-depth. But it is going to take a little while to get it done correctly.

Please be patient.
