Problem with Manual Targeting

Pisces · 01-04-10, 08:41 PM

The TDC dials (and the Attack-disk panel) locking up is an known, but unfortunately unexplained bug with OLC's gui. The only fix known to date is to go into the 3d internal view (F2) to the weapon-officer station (make sure he is onstation so you can get close) and press the TDC lightbulb (to set between auto-tma and manual). Only press it once to reset the lockup.

DO NOT use the auto-tdc/manual button on the F6 page. That is useless, you must use the 3d internal view.

Thanks Pisces!

I'll remember that if it happens again. Any ideas why I didnt get credit for sinking ship?

I really know too little about the LRT mod (Or those WB ships) to say anything about whether or not it could have caused the sinking not being credited. It wouldn't be logical for a mod that changes crew efficiency. But that doesn't say anything.

Did you only make the status update radio report, or did you also check the Captains log (key 'k') to see if it appeared there?

Sometimes it is the bad weather that deals the final blow that makes a ship sink. Then you sometimes do not get credited for it. But sometimes it can also rest on the shallow seabed, still sticking out the waves a bit. We are lucky anyway, I think, with getting almost all sinkings credited. I doubt Dönitz was so generous without confirmation.
