Contacts on TAI map and torpedo solution line

[crozzbang]

Hello All,

I am running TWOS with latest update, wind and smoke, and real navigation.

Using the Option file editor viewer, I have the show contacts and show torpedo solution line enabled for TAI options. However, ingame I am not seeing any of these show up. Any thoughts on what I might be missing? I need to ease back into the game before ramping up the difficulty.

Also, follow up question. How do I set waypoints in the Nav map with Real navigation enabled?

Open the tai map to medium setting. You will see a circle on lower right of map. Click on it and check the boxes of what you want to see.

Yep. Did that, still no change. Does it show friendly and enemy contacts? I am using my first save in the bunker when testing this out.

The Real Navigation mod will restrict some of the settings even if you enable them you will not see them.

Does it show friendly and enemy contacts?

No, not with Real Navigation enabled you have to plot to find them.
With Real Navigation disabled all map contacts are a single color so they could be friend or foe.

I have the show contacts and show torpedo solution line enabled for TAI options.

You will not see them with Real Navigation.

How do I set waypoints in the Nav map with Real navigation enabled?

Think about the logic to your question.
Real Navigation means you have to plot your own course.
If you want waypoints and other things just disable the Real Navigation Mod.
Using the OFEV you need to disable the mods first before making any changes otherwise your changes will not be usable.

Thanks for the quick feedback. Yes it does seem quite intuitive that Real Navigation would prevent these from being used. Reading through some of the other threads, I got mixed information, so I thought I would ask to clear it up.

Thanks!

Well ...

I'm actually driving TWOS without the "real navigation" (I had that problem also using the sober mega-mod!). I am user I had a new clean installation SHV and all the other things seemed to work (a had finished the Poland-Campaign without any (other) problem).

But in my maps I can't see the most of the things, I can choose.

I see after marking it:

- the visibel sight-circle
- the torpedo solution line
- numbers 1 to 3

but: I can't see any visibel contacts friendlly or foe ships, harbour-gunnerys, etc. That might be also with sonar-contacts or with planes. Without the Mod I can see those contacts.

What is going wrong? Thanx for help!

Hi SHV
Auto TDC on the Easy New Campaign settings disables manual targeting and will give you what you are asking for.
You can also make changes in the Game Play Settings any time you are in the bunker as long as you make a manual save afterwards.
You need to make sure that the Manual Targeting System box is un-ticked.

Use TDW's Options File Editor Viewer's Nav and TAI Map tabs to set up what you what you want to see on the maps and other tabs to customize your game play.
Mods must be disabled before making changes.

You will not see colored contacts or their direction of travel as these have been removed from TWOS.
