Stuck TDC

woodstock74 · 10-21-07, 02:36 PM

On patrol and my TDC is seemingly stuck on the last attack run that was made. Reading 14000 yds and won't reaquire on a new target though oddly enough will pop up the target ID when a new one appears. Any ideas? No damage at all to the sub at the moment but I am now in low visibility.

You left your PK on.

Position Keeper. The big red button in the bottom right hand corner of your left hand TDC panel...the one next to "torpedo settings" Make sure you turn that off when you're done attacking a ship.

I had the same problem, lost 2 torps.(lucky I saved it 10 min. previously) Damn, I feel stupid but my own fault.

I've had to revisit this issue...this is the first time I've played since installing 1.4. Stuck TDC again, though I recalled the previous advice here and was unable to "unstick" it. So flicking the red switch would allow the range to automatically update though I recieved no speed or bearing information. Additionally, active sonar range disagreed considerably with the range showing on the TDC (TDC said about 5400 yds, active said about 2500--through the scope I would have guessed 2500 was closer to the truth given the size of the target in the scope). What gives? Any ideas, is this a 1.4 issue?
