All the credit belongs to Nisgeis. I just followed along in his wake. Without his coaching and feedback I would have got the whole thing wrong from go!

JC-you figured out before I did!

FYI. I posted a link to yours and Nisgeis' threads in the main forum. I am on practice mission no. 1.

I finally got around to trying out the TDC Targeting (Part 2). Using the RADAR for plotting course and track of target works well, and I am able to get a pretty good estimate (even though I was tracking a fishing fleet).

When I went to the TBT/Periscope screen and pulled out the tools, I noticed that the ATTACK/DATA TOOL does not have the 'Send to TDC' or the 'Clock' buttons - only smooth metal where they should be. The Stadimeter (Range), AOB and Speed buttons are present and working, but not the other two.

No one else has complained here, so I must be unique. What happened to the buttons, and how do I get them back?

I tried disabling the TDC Mod, then enabled the Submarine School training mods and the TDC Mod, but still no buttons.

Installed Mods:
TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Convoy Routes TMO+RSRD
Radar and TDC Training Missions v1.02
3D TDC and Radar Range Unit v1.02

Sounds like you're rigged for auto-targeting rather than manual-targeting.

You get the standard compensation of the tears of a thousand unicorns. I have taken the liberty of placing them in your house's water system already.

I have tried to set course via the triangle on the 3d TDC target dial. I set course to 115 degrees (or 118 degrees, I forgot?) but the dial on the right does not match, nor does the ship snap to its new course. I set the new course when the stadimeter is showing the Aob dial. I have tried setting course with TDC off and with radar turned off. I have tried it with TDC on and radar turned on. I have tried it with periscope locked on the target and with periscope unlocked. What is wrong?

Something your doing isn't right. Read the target course off the target course dial, nowhere else. Post up a screenshot of the TDC settings where you have the white triangles in the position for 115 and we'll tell you if that's right or not.

Just like in the tutorial . Well done captain . Now try some of the other radar missions and see if you can hit them.

Exactly that. Thanks NorthBeach.

Sure enough - my bad. I've never used manual targeting before, so didn't even think to rig for it.

Thanks for the enlightenment

Now that I have rigged for Manual-Targeting, it is no longer possible to 'Lock' the TBT/Scope on the target, yes? I don't see those handy-dandy yellow/green triangles anymore.
