the TDC

[Alrazi110]

I know people have most likely asked a MILLION times how to use the TDC manually, I think I even asked back when I first started subsimming in January, I think I was linked to a video. I dont know if I just cant wrap my head around it, or i'm just not familiar enough with the games mechanics, but I just couldnt get it. Which is a shame because i LOVE the fact that this is a simulator, and I feel that is one of the big things in the game that I am missing. So does anyone have like, a trick to it, or something like that, maybe even if someone had released a better or more detailed video, or something.... I don't know, maybe im just dyslexic, I just figured I'd ask again and maybe something would click.

I was reading this thread : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=225129

and I see that there is ALOT I need to learn, I guess the real question im asking is what is a good way to go about learning all of this stuff, i dont even know where to start and its enough that i cant just pick a place and start... :p

Hi Alrazi
Of course it depends whether you are using Auto or Manual TDC.
