Default Someone with he skills do this?

Something has always bugged me is the Gato, Balao have same control rooms.Pure laziness on UBI's part in that regard. Thanksfully mods really improved interior of sub. While they were very similar one noticeable difference was the ladder to conning tower on Gato's was between the planesmen and in Balao its behind the diving station as in the game. I remember someone working on this and posted a screenshot before. Could someone do this for TMO RSRD? Great examples are Drum and Bowfin. Drum's is positioned like every Gato I've seen or seen pictures of while Bowfin's is as is in game. Assuming Tench followed the Balao class layout as well. Of course hatch wont be at correct angle unless can correct that also but ladder is most important.

This is far beyond my abilities so..

Vickers03 did some beautiful interiors, those are probably what you are looking for.

All I ever did was (with a lot of help) swap the aft nav station telegraph & knotmeter because they are wrong... actually that specific station is only on some boats. Also the sloppy gauges needed adjusting in earlier interiors and I got the CO2 meter to work.

Those a re excellent interiors, they are included in TMO.

I'm looking for the ladder to be moved in the Gato's.

It must be RFB then... I know I've seen that ladder positioned behind the planesmen - maybe in my dreams, ha! I don't have it installed any more because re-positioning the crew for every dive got to be tedious.

I believe ladder is like that in RFB, its been a long time. I'd like to get it like that in TMO.

Luckily it is just an Interior which should only require copying over some 'Texture' graphic files that RFB uses that TMO has different file names for in its Interiors.

I like what RFB does with most of the gauges in their Interior.

There might be a missing helmsman in the CT in the RFB Interior, (he might be in the CR) and maybe there would be a missing planesman that only appears after the above decks crew is moved when the boat dives in RFB, maybe not.

This might be an easy project or a little bit complicated.... but an interesting one. Makes me want to un-zip RFB & TMO on to cloned installs and see.
