Yes...I remember a post by Ducimuse stating this.

I would reinstall 1.9 and not sweat it.
If memory serves Ducimus is preoccupied with other IRL jazz but even when he gets back to finishing 2.0 he mentioned doing more documentation, which is least enjoyable. Give him time.

Sure! All the time he wants or needs. Just wondered if I had missed a update. Be happy to reinstall. Thanks for your reply.

new computer
loaded TMO1.9 and RSRDC. I have not played awhile since Ducimus finished off my old motherboard with a well placed depth charge from one of his merciless subs.
Two questions. I have a laptop with a regular keyboard. I do not have a gaming keyboard. How to I man the deck gun which is blocked by the ship's dials? ./del is not a key on my keyboard. Do I use two separte keys? Also, what is the shortcut key for heading to periscope view and vice versa. I forgot. Actually, I asked four questions. |

Your laptop should have a means to press Del key, possibly by means of a function key in another colour.
= is head to view. View to heading is... not defined as far as I know.

View to heading is "-", not the one on the numpad.
(At least on mine.)

nisgeis
Thanks, Captain Nisgeis.
A few more quesions. When setting the aspect ratio, do I line up the keel of the shadow target with the flag, the mast or the deck? I have overlayed TMO with RSRDC, so their is no highlighting of those points on the enemy ship drawings viewed during the game. As I recall, merchants and warships had different demarcation points for aspect ration determination in TMO, but I could not find a discussion of them in the literature supplied with the mod (i.e. the readme.) I forgot how difficult this game is. I missed 6 easy shots on a freighter because I could not get an accurate aspect ratio. I fianllly sank it iwth my deck gun. Also, my custom Gto is not operational even though I selectd a Gato for my boat. I think this occurred because Gatos were not available in early 1942 and Ducimus wrote them out of the game script. My first mission was a disaster. I forgot to uncheck "no map contacts" at the start of the campaign and forgot to unckeclk "no camera" views. I finally spotted two junks, but they were so far away, I lost them. Then I ran into airplaines and could not man the anti aircraft gun to command the crews to engage on them. Fianlly, I had fuel problems, and limped into Midway on battery power. Further, I modded in a Midway start. That apparently wiped out the various mission start dates input by RSRDC, and left me with start dates of 1941,'42. '43 etc. I wonder if the Midway start mod overrides RSRDC or if the RSRDC mod is still acitve? I disoabled the Midway start mod just in case. I spent all day yesterday getting familiar with Vista, but I have a ways to go to get back to the semblence of competence that the caption of the USS Barbarrina used to have. I need a shore leave already! |

@Nisgeis, If I am correct he needs the numpad-Del not the Delete.
@IGD You could remap to another key if one is available, or you could go into the towers.upc file and change "IDLinkCrewMember= NULL" and in place of NULL put a rank or NR if TMO allows that. Then they would be manned all the time. Peabody

i forgot where to set aspect ratio
I have been out of action for quite some time. I resumed playing and noticed the Recognition Manual does not indicate where to line up the shadow ship with the target for establishing range. I think merchants have difffenent points of contact than warships. And carriers are different still.
Could someone let me know what the contact points are for merchants, carriers and sarships other than carriers. Thank you. |

that leads to a fiurther question
I have enabled TMO1.9 and RSRDC v502. Their is a SCAF mod for each. Do I enable one or both of the SCAF mods? I will try the SCAF mod for TMO1.9 and see what happens re the red dot appearing.
