No Auto+Manual TDC switch like in SH3?

You seemed to have answered yourself.

Auto or Manual - that seems to be it; I don't know if it has been modded, 'cuz I have a feeling it's hardcoded.

Have you trued to assign a key combo in the keyboard controls file and see if it somehow switches on/off the TDC?

I also think this must be hardcoded, due to the different way the TDC operates from the german one. The US TDC was created to be autonomous from optics input expect in the exact moment when a bearing is sent from TBT/Scope. Therefore I also don't see any interest in being able to switch it on/off manually, just curious what would you gain with that?

if you have S3d you can add one yourself to see what effect it would achieve. It's much easier to do it in 3d that doing it in the menu1024.ini file. Just find a suitable 3d object (or add one) in the interior DAT files and link it to a Focusable3DObj modifier in the SIM file. For the command, add "Toggle_TDC_autoupdate". Then see what it actually does for US subs

. I'd do it myself but I've modified the menu.ini so much for german subs that us subs crash on me
