Hey guys, followed your posts on this " firing solution/TDC " . You've already dug out more info than the manual gives for sure but you say you can type in data related to a solution. What data exactly and where/how????
please and thank you!

edit: My observation as well Neal !!!

Hehe, this is an informative thread indeed.

You can type your numbers into the screen you have been seeing in the screen shots. Everyone was worried that you could only set speed in increments of 2. You can type in any number actually via the keyboard.

Simple fast, effective for on the fly math and real time adjustments.

Yeah, i just been playing with it.

And now that i "see the light", i think it's awesome you can type in the values.

I would prefer a better AOB entry control though. I much prferred the more natural SHIV dial than the SH3 "scraatchpad one". I want to rotate a ship so it matches my scope.. not rotate an arrow around a stationary ship image.

I type in the AOB once I have done the math I never touch that dial on the notepad.

Yes, but there are some times when you'd want to do it visually.

Atleast it's linked to the scope. So you only have to set it once.

wowowow, wait, you can TYPE values?! Oh god please tell me this is not just for a few hardcoded items, please please....

Gutted, can you post a pic when typing the value for range for example?
And question, once you set a TDC solution, save and load the game. Does the game remember those values?

gutted · 03-01-10, 05:26 PM

I dunno if it saves the solution.. but one thing i noticed is that currently it does not save any of your map plotting. Bummer.

As for typing, you can type in the AOB, the Range, the Bearing & the Speed.

The TDC entry is menu driven. You have to click the range hotlink, then go to the next page and type it.. then back out.. and select speed etc. etc. Somewhat combersome.. but pretty nifty that we can finally type.

I'd still like some dials. I dont really care for the menu version.
