1. Make sure you have your mouse set to turn the periscope. Line up and Lock On to the on-coming target. The XO will say he's following your Target.

2. Now Break Lock. . Click #1 to Turn TDC On.
Now lock on to your target again. The recognition manual will now show and you will see your target. Figure out what type it is if you can, and look to see what it's Draft is. Remember it.

3. Now Break Lock and click on #1 to turn off the TDC. TDC On should now show... this is TDC Off. Go back and line up your shot before your fire the torpedo you've selected. If you leave TDC On on you've just wasted a torpedo, as it will not follow thru to the target you selected.

How do I set up a fast 90 with parts magui?

Hello and congrats for this awesome mod! I'm loving it but I just cannot figure out how to set up a fast 90 attack with your mod.

Previously, I used to sit at a 90 degree angle from the predicted target course and at a known distance from such course; then I keyed in the TDC this distance as range, the speed of the target and an AoB of 90 degrees; finally I adjusted the bearing in the TDC till the gyroangle read 0, and waited. When the target came to such bearing, I fired the torpedo and I expected to hit it as it passed accross my bow.

With your mod, every time I change the bearing, it changes the AoB too and I just cannot figure out how to zero-out the gyroangle like I used to. Also, I have an hard time understanding what the gauge on the left of the AoB indicator in the periscope or UZO view is: it looks like one of the two gyroangle gauges but it behaves differently.

Thank you for your help and suggestions, I am surely doing something wrong here but I cannot get on top of it.

Default Travelmode

Hi DrJones,

First of all thanks for all the effort you are putting in this mod. I played SH5 when it came out for a while but stoped for over a year and a half and now I am finding my way back into it. TDW UI is great and I played it a bit and now I found yours and I think yours is providing a bit more feel or flair to it. I think it is like with scale models of planes, when they look like new and shiny out of the box they just dont look and feel right. It is the cracks and dirt and Oil streaks that make the model alive. I hope you will find the time to finish this mod as you intend it (if there ever will be an end to these things )

But right now I am trying to go through the Nord-Ostsee Kanal and I am stuck in the 8x time compression. I can not find the button to change the travelmode to be able to increase the compression. Can you or somebody help me out please.

Thanks.

MiBao

I am looking forward to it.

Until then
