My back is paining me bad, so my worst friend insomnia is visiting... sheesh... Anyway, the skins go with the conning towers, and those are listed in the Gato.upc file like this:

IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1942-04-30, GatoConningEarlyWar
IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault2= 1942-05-01, 1942-12-31, GatoConningMedWar
IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault3= 1943-01-01, 1943-12-31, GatoConningLateWar
IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault4= 1944-01-01, NULL, GatoConningElite

so the #1 (early) tower runs until April 30th, 1942 and is "blank", like this:




The second sail, "MedWar" uses the T01 tex file from May 1 to Dec 31 1942, like this:



The LateWar goes from Jan 1, 1943 to Dec 31, 1943 using the T02 file in the tex folder like this:



and the "Elite" goes back to "blank"... In this particular skin, it is for any Gato boat, so should show up between May 1, 1942 to Dec 31, 1943. If it doesn't, be sure you have it activated with JSGME properly, and that you don't have a bad folder structure like "Game \ MODS \ SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES \ SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES \ Data"... You only want the one "SS238 USS Wahoo_FooBor's GATO Combo HI-RES" folder, not two of them... I should have rotated the conn around in S3D, and looked at the other side. I have no idea if it faces forward, or back, or if it's even there... - Edit: It is there, on both sides, and both facing forward - excellent stuff.

Of course, in the game, you should have the rest of your submarine, unless you do like I do, and get it blown out from under you all the time...
