TDC Questions

btaft · 04-10-07, 10:46 AM

Hitman,

Thanks for the help!

I do have another questions.

How do I tweak the TDC, do I use the dial in the upper right hand and send to the TDC again or do I manually move the dials on the TDC?

Do I have to manually move the position keeper or does it automatically move when I send data to the TDC.

Thanks again

No, the TDC dials are not meant to be operated manually. Only the "Own ship" dial is clickable and it will make you cnage course, but it is not the best way to do that. Unfortunately, you must update or change things by repeating the step of "manual input" with the tool of the upper left corner of your screen each time you want to correct something.

Hope in the 1.2 we are allowed to manually tweak the dials like we did in SH3.:hmm:

HM, do you mean "upper right corner of your screen" ? I'm just learning the manual TDC fire control myself. thanks.

I'm sure he meant upper right.

That's where I adjust AOB, speed, and distance as I refine my solution. Don't forget to "send" the new data so it gets locked in.

Is it just me or is the AOB not updating? I was working a solution last night and the only item that wasnt updating as I cahnged my relative position to the target was AOB! I wonder if its a problem thats class related?

The AOB function of the Position Keeper can only correct for the motion of your boat, not course changes on the part of the target. It has to assume the target keeps the same course and speed throughout, so if it changes heading even a little it throws off the solution.
