[REL] 3D TDC and Radar Range Unit

[I'm goin' down]

I went back to my Leyete Gulf Mission. I figured I would treat it as a practice mission. So I tracked the second task force, American, as I noted earlier. I was gigantic. This was a night time exercise. I began tracking this ENE of my original position at around 3 a.m. At about 4 a.m., after several ships passed, I fired four torpedoes at an American troop carrier. Range around 1200 yds. determined by sonar. Speed 7 kts. via plotting. Map contacts disabled. 3D TDC used to plot course (327 degrees) and speed measuring points. Too many ships to use 3D TDC to track an individual ship for purposes of a radar only attack. Note: dds didn't bother me as I was considered a friendly. Six shots with a spread and 15 ft. running depth. 6 hits. Target exploded. I never had a good aspect ratio via the stadimeter because it was too dark, so I relied on my course plot and sonar for the attack.

Your TDC is ready for the market. Make your final tweaks and you are there. Congratulations. This may be the mod of the year. I like it. Now for celestial navigation...

I realized a couple of days ago that I could not zoom to 3D TDC. For some reason my zooming capability quit on me. That prevents me from reading the bearing tool on the ceiling, and getting close the Target dial and Target Course dial. It is impossible to read any of them without great difficulty. When zoom capability is intact, they are easy to read. My solution was to deactivat the mod. I downloaded a clean 3D TDC version and overwrote the exisiting one. I reactivated the mod. That fixed the problem for one mission, but now I cannot zoom in on the 3D TDC again or the bearing dial on the ceiling. This is the last mod activated. Also, sometimes the program lags when I am in 3D TDC. I have no idea if the issues are related. Any idea?

There isn't a zoom in the mod, that may be down to TMO's camera. Did it always lag in the 3D TDC screen, or is that new?

Is anyone else getting lag in the 3D TDC screen?

it started with the mod. As for the zoom, I could move closer to the Target and Target Course Dial for example. Much like the close up on JC's tutorial and on your shot of the unit in this thread. I cannot get there most of the time. Sometime, rarely, I can get close. The problem is really bothersome as it makes using those tools very difficult.

When the system slows down, the clock slows and it is hard to control mr. mouse. It ususally last 1-3 minutes.

the reason I cannot read the dials I mentioned previously is because I am looking up at them, particularly the Target and Target Course Dials, which are angling away from me. If you can somehow make the numbers on the dials easier to read, especially the inside degree numbers (1 - 8) on the Target Course Dial, it would make it a lot better. The camera will not move to the left and get close the the Target Course Dial, so those nos. cannot be read. The bearing tool on the ceiling is readable if I could get closer. I reloaded all of my mods starting with TMO 2, RSRDC 502 plus the patch that goes with it, and SCAF for RSRDC. The other mods I have shouldn't affect the 3D TDC .

I just deleted SCAF and replaced it with Max optics 4 for 1.9. And I deleted the TBT filter (red) for TMO 1.9 and stock. The mods for 1.9 had not been updated to 2.0. I will check and see if this fixes the problem.

I just checked. Still a lag at times, and I cannot move the camera to get a good look at the Target and Target Course Dials. It is a problem.

sorry I misread the problem

I do have a spyware program running. I can disable it during game play and see if that helps. I do not have many mods.

TMO2.0
RSRDC502
RSRDC patch
Convy Routes TMO+RSRD
Extra Allied naval bases for SH4 + UBM + TM...
Fooskin Combo Custom for the Bararinna
Max Optics IV for TMO_2
3D TDC and Radar Range Unit v1.02

Pretty basic stuff.

I plan to add the TSAC,and SCAF if there is version for TMO 2.0

Not here. I never had a zoom feature or experienced any lag. Thje pics on the tut are straight off of the screen. I am running TMO 2.0, the revised Gato interior, RSRD and your mod (1.02).

Sounds like you are getting some mod conflicts (although lag usualy means a competition for or lack of system resources. Spyware running?)
