Thank you for the images! I love old blueprints, the ones in "Shells of Fury"
were absolutely grand and added a lot to the interface of that game - something
similar should be done for SH4 mods of all kinds.

I am on lunch break now and drinking lots of coffee!!
Got a long night ahead of me, with much more interior stuff.

The animated German engine room telegraph was a nightmare to add,
this modding process really has a way of humbling you... but
now that it's in and finally displaying proper speeds I will improve it.

Think I will make the Tiefenmessers/dive gauges less colorful -
based on one of my few color sources, the depth gauges in WWI Uboat control rooms were
red, and black on a white face - no green and yellow trim, like on WWII boats.
IMHO the WWII style gauges from Das Boot etc look too colorful/"modern".
Any thoughts??

Also, a lot of brass-colored faces and trim were used for gauges and instruments,
in WWI UBoats, so I will replace the low polygon items with more detailed frames
that have nuts/bolts and a shinier surface. More news coming very soon!
