probably.......but as I cycle thru the tac categories....there's no "vehicles". Wasn't there "vehicles" at one point or are they part of "surface units". I haven't seen a convoy or a train in ages it seems....

I don't know about the TAC, but I was looking for German convoys today and never did find one. But I did see a French convoy yesterday.

Yes there have been TAC label changes over the years.
I used to use the "Ship" setting a long time ago so I would have the navigation line and nothing else.
Wish it was still around in fact...

of course, none of this in fact rules out the possibility that you may in fact be nuts...

I'm going on that assumption....as worst case is generally the rule. My tac reads All, Aircraft, Balloons, Structures, Surface Units, Airfields. Yet I specifically remember scrolling thru train cars and convoys to enjoy the eye candy......or do I mistake distant memories of CFS3?

You could be mixing it up with the 'J' key feature. In any case you probably can still target them with the Tab key and have it highlighted in TAC. Just guessing.

Nuts , I'm not a professional, so can't give an opinion. Barmy, on the other hand...

As Shredder suggests...
"Nuts" is such a hard word - we are back in the early 20th century, good boy.
We were not so rude back then - we prefer the word "barmy" - much nicer sound! biggrin

Barmy I am then.....I remember asking an Aussie one time who the fat guy was over there (typical American). He looked at me disapprovingly and said "we call 'em stout mate". Continuing education. Now that all you wits have finished exercising same on me, is there a vehicles mode on anybody's TAC or not? I INSIST on an answer (typical American)

gaw1, as already noted, regardless of the changing tac options, you may well be nuts, and/or barmy. One thing's for sure though, using the tac at all makes you a namby-pamby. winkngrin

Checked it, gaw1 - the TAC was changed indeed.
There are only "Structures" and "Surface units" now. (I never use TAC)
So, your trucks or vehicles must be among the latter, I guess.

Thx guys......I only sneak a desperate look when the chips are down which definitely qualifies for namby, but perhaps use of the truly contemptible "invincible"....which only irredeemable would rotters do....pushes things over the line toward pamby.....or do I delude myself? Delusion being the essence of nuts, excuse me, barmy.......am I in the club yet?

Oh, to be sure gaw1, you qualify for the BOC. Now get yourself over to the that thread and state your intentions so that we may begin the beating..er..umm..initiation ceremony.

It has not changed - WOFF has always been like that.

OFF was like CFS3, but for WOFF all that code is new.
