Before RL got in the way I managed to DL some of your videos. I was looking at them last night and thought I might be able to run them through an AVI compressor to get them down to a more manageable size. Unless or course you've already done that.

Does SubSim have a place to upload them? If so is there a size limit?

Is there any basic tutorial that shows how to use navigation tools for plotting course, finding bearings etc. Tired of zig-zagging and making "donuts" in the pacific. Ubisoft manual leaves a lot to be desired for beginners.
SH4 is fantastic! Just tired of dying and not knowing why. Help greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the boat mate.

It's pretty easy. Go to the navigation map, that's the second button in from the left on the top row. Double click this button. That opens the navigation map.

On the lower row of buttons the third on in from the left will say "Plot course". Just click this and a line will show on the map. One end of the line is anchored to your sub. The other end is at your mouse pointer. Just move the mouse to where you want to go and left click, that will place the end of the line where you click and the sub will follow that line, it's your course. You can click on the second point and start another line to a different place on the map and click there and a second line will be locked. You can set way points in your course to take you any place you need to go.

At any time you can click on any way point and drag it to a different place. You can also click on any way point and release the mouse button and draw a new course from that point and any way points after the one you clicked on will be erased.

If you turn off the plotted course using the compass you will head where the compass is clicked. If you click the E you will change course to the east. To return to your original course there is a button in the bottom row that says "Return to course" Click that and you will head to your next way point. If you have a way point set anywhere you will see a line from your sub and it will go to the next way point.

The three dials on the lower right are for speed, course and depth.
there are tabs under each and clicking the tabs will bring up different dials that will do the same things.

Read the sticky post at the top of the main page and there is a ton of information there.

The second link in Magic's post contains a link to Legion's Noob Tutorial. That is a good one for players starting out.

Many thanks for your kind response and all of the info and links shared. I'll start hitting the books and doing my homework. It will be great to point my sub any where but straight down!

The SONAR ONLY (BY GOD) video has been removed

WernerSobe link to "Sonar Only Manual Targeting" is not working.

Rockin Robbins · 04-13-12, 10:14 AM

Thanks K9, I'll look into it and get it working.

Got a new mic yet? The crowds (well, only me, really, but I'm wide enough for three!) would like to see the O'Kane Sonar Only video

Werner's Sonar only attack is a dud link?

Digger Heinz · 11-09-13, 06:49 PM

I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for the thread and all who participate... it means a lot that noob like me can come here and get info that makes the game so much more fun than dumb luck and trial and error.

Thanks!!!

I, too, want to thank all of the modders and people who have contributed to this massive list of items!

Reading the real TDC manual really humbles me. IT really makes you appreciate what people have been able to do. It blows my mind that years ago mankind could generate mathematical solutions using mechanics... and today we barely understand how to download apps..

WernerSobe's Sonar Only Manual Targeting doesn't work. The Link has died. The same situation with Dick O'Kane Sonar Only (after waiting few seconds "403-Forbidden" occurs). May anyone correct it or suggest any materials instead of these? I'm new here and the first thing I want to do is learn how to hunt correctly

. Best regards!

Great thread : )

Hi,
I would like to try my luck with 100% reality settings in the game options. I know my way around the TDC fairly well but i want to know more about tracking and intercepting a target or a convoy without map updates, how it was done using sound and visual observation and later adding radar in the mix.
Any good tutorials out there?
