Thank you, Sir.

Crew staying on the bridge when sub dives is usually caused by Alt Tabbing out of the game. Causes other glitches too.

I have uploaded a fix which I hope will correct the Deck Gun issue of lacking precise horizontal control. I removed my past fix for the TMO Binoculars and incorporated the latest fix with it.

The Deck Gun has been corrected by slowing down the horizontal movement. This will still allow for the MaxOptics magnified views, but create a more precise control of the gun left/right.

Also,

A SCAF (Ship Centered, Accuracy Fix) "tool tip" was added to both American and German side of play. The "tool tips" will explaining what is marked on the Recognition Manual pictures, and what you should do to receive a correct manually found range.

Note: The latest fix has the date 4/11/09 in it's title. I put it on the same download thread site as the previous fix so it could be easily found at the TMO 1.7 main thread. A link to "MaxOptics & SCAF fix for TMO 1.7_41109" can be found "here". Just ignore the released date of 04-02-2009 of the older fix.

Thank you so much CapnScurvy!

[JGoldrick]

Does this replace the "Max Optics for TMO1.7 Binocs", or do we add it after the mod? Thanks.

[OneTinSoldier]

Well you would install TMO_1.7, and then download and install CapnScurvy's latest "MaxOptics & SCAF fix for TMO 1.7_41109" mod.

From a previous post in this thread by CapnScurvy...

The order of activation should be:
TMO 1.7
MaxOptics & SCAF fix TMO1.7_41109 <-- this is the latest version as of today
RSRDC_TMOv163_v410
RSRDC_v410_Patch 2B

Hope that helps

One question, Im running TMO 1.7 and i'm still receiving hydrophone contacts while surfaced

any suggestions?

[OneTinSoldier]

I think that's consider normal Wolfling04. Apparently from what I've read here on the forums in response to other people that have asked about this, U.S. Fleet Boats had their hydrophones mounted on the bottom of the hull. Different from German U-Boats which had theirs mounted up on the deck.

Regards

Thank you One, i thought i had read somewhere that TMO removed the hydrophone contacts while surfaced

TMO does keep hydrophone contacts while surfaced. It was up for debate though because the chin sonar could hear supersonic sounds but only if the sub was at very low revs on the engines or even stopped. The game allows it at all speeds.

[OneTinSoldier]

Thanks AVGWarhawk,

I always thought it was probably a little silly to pick up contacts while surfaced. My thought was that surface clutter noise would be too high to pick anything greater than visual range anyway. But yeah, I can see how engine noise from ownship while on the surface would be prevalent too.

Is there any way to mod it so that at a certain speed you cant hear any hydrophone contacts?

I'm having the same issue with the radio. I know how the pull down map works but it doesn't show up. The texture is missing. It shows up as part of the recognition manual and for some reason won't stop on scripted events.

What LukeFF did in RFB was not let the sonar work until you hit about 30 feet when submerging. This is was the only way to handle leaving it working as in TMO or just shutting it off all together. Also, by doing this you are slowed down when submerging.
