[REL] Radar Training for Nisgeis' 3D TDC and Radar Range Unit UPDATED: 7/31/10

John Channing · 07-18-10, 03:54 PM

The purpose of this thread is to show how to use the modified Radar and TDC created by Nisgeis to establish a contact's position, course and track, and to enter a solution into the TDC using only Radar.

First up: Establishing the contact's initial position, course and track.

OK... thanks for waiting!

Here is part two. In this tutorial we will pick up where the last one left off. We are now ready to put a solution into the TDC.

Part 2...

Because the course setting function does not really explain well in pictures I have uploaded a brief video showing a two step process for getting the contact's course onto the TDC.

With practice you can do it in one step, but to start I used 2.

Good Hunting!

Looks good

. Could it be condensed a bit with more than one image per post? You'll never fit the rest of it in like that

It's not really that difficult to use one then the other is it? That's one of the easier things to do in the mod

. The video is great at explaining entering target course, here it is with a link for those who are cut and paste challenged:

Thanks for putting all that together JCC.

Thank you very much for this. I just installed this mod, as my previous career just ended due to a lucky depth charge and frantic gun battle. I sunk one of the escorts, but there other one got me.

Now I'll have to learn this radar stuff.

I activated this mod last. The button on the sonar dial is missing. When I delete the mod, it reappears.

I cannot drag the triangle up or down.

I get a reading in yds., nm's, but nothing on the spaces below.

I have a few mods activated but not many. I play tmo2.0/rsrdc.

1) Not sure what button you are refering to.

2) You don't actually drag the triangle. When you place your cursor on the A-Scope screen and hold the left mouse button down, the radar screen moves in the direction you move your mouse, the triangle stays stationary. Can you move the screen using the dial on the left?

3) The White numbers are the radar range according to where you set the triangle. The green numbers won't activate until you have a solution entered into the TDC. That's the next lesson.

the sonar man yells out bearing when you have sonar check for contacts. When the sonar is looked on the bearing, you click the button and the sonarman yells merchant at x degrees. I have no button as it has disappeared when I use the Radar Range mod.

For some reason two of the sonar controls are part of the radar stack, so when the radar got moved to the right the controls did too. I didn't spot it, because I wasn't expecting it. The switches are still there, just out of place. Using the toolbar commands still works. Will be updated soon (TM).

I just figured that out on a Gar. I stopped using the Gato until I figure this mod out.

I cannot find the radar range bearing indicator. What screen is it located on?
