[REL] 3D TDC and Radar Range Unit

The latest version works just fine with TMO.

John Channing · 08-02-10, 07:37 AM

I have used both versions with TMO and it works fine. You lose a little camera functionality, but you will be too busy tracking contacts and setting up the TDC to worry about eye cancy!

Oooohhh, my mistake. I thought it conflicted with the interior's. Downloading now!

Be nice if it can be integrated with the eyecandy though. I'm all for gameplay > Graphics, but it's still very nice to have both!

Finally got this to work; four for four!

Thanks JC for your help and instructions. Next I will try this in foul weather.

John Channing · 08-02-10, 10:27 AM

You are welcome but the real credi goes to Nisgeis. If it wasn't for him you would have just downloaded 34 blank PowerPoint slides!

Nisgeis, Do I need to uninstall either of your radar mods-
Nisgeis' Radar Range Mod v2.05
Nisgeis' Range Ring and Bearing Line Mod
to install this? I am hoping to be #5

Wow....

Loving your work, this is fantastic. Complicated, but takes a successful hunt's satisfaction to a whole new level.

Edit: having used it a bit further, what are the odds of getting a Send to TDC button onto the TDC to prevent us having to go between the TBT and the TDC?

Seriously, are you asking a question to which Mr. sergei has posted a response? Unless I missed something ,,, (well, you can figure out the rest.)

Won't work with 'Radar Range Mod v2.05' as this replaces it. Range ring and bearing line mod... should work in theory, if there are conflicts, install that first and then overwrite with this radar mod.

If some clever person comes up with a way to do it I'll put it in. As far as I know though, it's just not going to happen and the TBT is the only work around that works.

You'll lose the interior eye candy, but otherwise functions well with TMO. Remove cameras.dat before you install the mod (from the mod, not the game or anywhere else).

That's a pity. I'm not familiar with the game code, but i guess there's no way to add a button which is linked to the same code/function used by the TBT?

Regardless, thanks again. Still getting the ropes, but it's a lot of fun. Reminds me of teaching myself manual torpedo targeting =P

razark · 08-03-10, 11:04 AM

Alright, first try at tracking a target with map contacts off. This really makes an approach take a lot more time than it used to.

The plot beginning to take shape:

More points, now entering data into the TDC:

About 45 minutes into it:

At this point, I had a visual on the target, almost exactly where it was supposed to be.

Since I could see the target, I waited a couple more minutes and took another radar range. I jumped to the periscope, swung to the bearing, and watched him fire the first starshell of the night.

Now I get to practice evasion tactics.

Shouldn't this topic be Stickied?

Nisgeis-Will these two mods conflict with this?
TGT DIALS TO PK FIX-TMO
HiRes PPI-Radar
I wanted to finish a career before using this but I have been following the 2 3D TDC and Radar threads and I can't stand it any longer. I'm going to install TMO2 and the 3D TDC and Radar mod and have at it. I know I'm losing some eye candy with this but I'll switch to the TMO compatible version when it comes out since I've been wanting to try TMO2 also(currently running TMO1.7).

John Channing · 08-03-10, 11:38 AM

You won't regret it.

When you have a working solution in, sitting in front of the TDC watching the solution develop, watching the range count down, watching the positional relationships change, checking that your sonarman is listening on the same bearing as what you have in the solution, watching the range indicator on the radar to see if your solution matches the generated range...

simply amazing.

What was it? A lone destroyer? *thinks* merchies don't fire starshells do they?

Nah, if the likes of TMO and RFB aren't stickied, then there's no need for this to be. If it becomes unpopular, then it'll sink. If it stays active then it will stay on the front page.

I don't know about the TGT DIALS one, not sure what that mod does.
The HiRes PPI-Radar is definately not compatible.
