Default Cosmetic Issues

There are a large number of things on the interior of the sub which simply have the wrong textures assigned to them, or the textures are oriented improperly. The errors I am referring to are not correctable by editing the textures themselves, it would take editing of GR2 files. I am sorry that I cannot get screen shots of everything that I am talking about, as there are simply too many little problems for one man to try to collect them all.

Here is a list of just some of the things I am talking about:

- Gauge labels are incorrectly set up and assigned.

- The radio room is lacking all labels, including those on the radar(it does not even have a designation for the on/off switch).

- The two communication tubes in the command room are see through.

- Also, the way that all the textures for the interior(meaning the walls, pipes, wires, machinery, etc.) is not set up very well to be modded. The way it is now makes it very hard to make the sub look historically accurate since so many different things share the same textures. For instance, the TDC shares the same textures as the pipes around the sub.

There are many more, but these are the ones that I can think of right off the bat. I know these are just graphical problems, and that a lot of people disregard graphics as unimportant. However, graphics are my specialty, and these are some of what I cannot fix, so I figured I would bring them to the publics attention.
