Also, can't seem to remember how to get back into realism panel top adjust it.

Shift + I with Command Key mod. You have to have the target locked and scope pointed at it before it will work.

Hmm, can't seem to get it to work.

The way I do it is to turn the tdc on (via the WO) with the target locked.
Where it says unknown "freighter" click on the freighter and it should identify the target.

I then turn the tdc off and use auto targeting.

Thanks again for the reply

Thats exactly what I needed to do. I wasn't turning on the TDC to get the ID thing happening. However, in my efforts of trying to figure otu what i was doing wrong I found a simplified manual type of targeting which I would suggest to anyone still using auto type targeting.

It really is not much harder then auto targeting yet you get more of an idea how solutions are reached. In my opinion it is a great basic step to try before going with the No Contact 100% realism setting.
Or, just sticking with it and having fun is all good too
