Why do you go through the PPI radar screen in the video?

Force of habit. I just go to the Radar screen and right click... voila!

Second tutorial continued. went after the target that was at 189 degrees. Followed your advice re reading from the back edge of the target. I fired four torpedoes. Four hits!!!!

Then I went after the last ship at around 311 degrees and did not follow your advice. I missed six shots. I am going to the gym, but will take another crack at the third target tomorrow. The it off to the third tutorial.

It is pretty cool to take out a ship in a rain storm using sonar.

IGD, you keep saying sonar. Do you mean radar? Or are you talking about the blue triangle?

If a TM Version comes out, I'll be first in line

The latest version works just fine with TMO.

John Channing · 08-02-10, 07:37 AM

I have used both versions with TMO and it works fine. You lose a little camera functionality, but you will be too busy tracking contacts and setting up the TDC to worry about eye cancy!

Oooohhh, my mistake. I thought it conflicted with the interior's. Downloading now!

Be nice if it can be integrated with the eyecandy though. I'm all for gameplay > Graphics, but it's still very nice to have both!

Finally got this to work; four for four!

Thanks JC for your help and instructions. Next I will try this in foul weather.

John Channing · 08-02-10, 10:27 AM

You are welcome but the real credi goes to Nisgeis. If it wasn't for him you would have just downloaded 34 blank PowerPoint slides!

Nisgeis, Do I need to uninstall either of your radar mods-
Nisgeis' Radar Range Mod v2.05
Nisgeis' Range Ring and Bearing Line Mod
to install this? I am hoping to be #5

Wow....

Loving your work, this is fantastic. Complicated, but takes a successful hunt's satisfaction to a whole new level.

Edit: having used it a bit further, what are the odds of getting a Send to TDC button onto the TDC to prevent us having to go between the TBT and the TDC?

Seriously, are you asking a question to which Mr. sergei has posted a response? Unless I missed something ,,, (well, you can figure out the rest.)

Won't work with 'Radar Range Mod v2.05' as this replaces it. Range ring and bearing line mod... should work in theory, if there are conflicts, install that first and then overwrite with this radar mod.

If some clever person comes up with a way to do it I'll put it in. As far as I know though, it's just not going to happen and the TBT is the only work around that works.

You'll lose the interior eye candy, but otherwise functions well with TMO. Remove cameras.dat before you install the mod (from the mod, not the game or anywhere else).

That's a pity. I'm not familiar with the game code, but i guess there's no way to add a button which is linked to the same code/function used by the TBT?

Regardless, thanks again. Still getting the ropes, but it's a lot of fun. Reminds me of teaching myself manual torpedo targeting =P
