TDC Tutorial
Since I felt I need to improve my knowledge about the use of the TDC I downloaded the tutorial by TDW in post 2.
Still I don't really get it. I watch the video and I've even made a document with notes on step by step. I see that I must swith the TDC to Manual and then set speed and AoB + send the values to the TDC. Then switch man. off. But, when I watch the video I really don't get how to determine the AoB... When I use the Stadimeter my XO returns to me with ridiculous values like speed 145 Kts and AoB e.g. -54 even if I in the scope visually can estimate it to be approx. 125... Is there any other tutorial to really teach me about how to properly operate the TDC? I've lokoed around for one but I don't find any. Could someone assist me please. // |

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=177725 The "fast90" will take you through most of the TDC use. Also the "range aob practice tutorial will cover more. When you get used to that try "RAOBF" |

Since I can now read mouse buttons and the mousewheel I'm thinking about redoing what controls the RAOBF wheel. Currently it's linked to the AOB TDC dial and I'm thinking about changing that to the mousewheel. This way you can rotate the inner dial with the mousewheel and not screw up the AOB TDC dial. Thoughts

I agree Trevally. Rotating the RAOBF inner dial via mousewheel is much better (shift + mousewheel to rotate faster) Just coded and tested it and it works excellent!
Going to do the attack disc the same way I'll send you and Magnum v10 as of now. |

What's probably happening is you have SOAN open (you clicked the cover and opened it) and you have dragged it so that the middle part of it is offscreen. Now you exit the game in that condition. Am I correct? If so, I can see how this can be a problem and I'll have to look for a solution. |

NOTE: After the first time you use the stadimeter on a contact (that you have locked on), each additional time you use the stadimeter the navigator will calculate speed and aob from that range reading and the previous range reading. This speed value has nothing to do with the value given by the speed estimator. The XO TDC dialog box disappearing I can't duplicate. I went to both the attack and obs scope and did the following: - turned TDC on - locked onto a contact (did not identify it) - brought up nav map - moved nav map around with mouse - exited navmap which brought me back to the scope I was using - XO TDC dialog box still visible I found a solution to the SOAN disappearing problem when user leaves it open and drags it offscreen and exits game. It will be available in test version 10 (for those I just sent test version 10 to it does not contain this fix) |

The stock ERM I cannot manipulate to keep the ship centered that you selected. Same goes for Reaper7's ERM (because he uses the stock ERM) |

I think that if possible you should remove the XO ERM and go
with the SOAN only |

I know that , but I am tempted to press it just because its there and I lack self control or so my girlfriend tells me.It's ok I might have to turn the entire hud off so I don't see it.
