By the way, if anyone noticed that in stock(and in V1.2) there are some gauge needles around the sub that are stark white. Well, I found a way to fix that. V1.3 will have those things black like the rest of the needles.
Oh, and the manual is on it's way, I just have not had the time to take all the screen shots I need for it, that is why I am taking so darn long to get it out.

Hey Steel, been a while since I've been on SH/Subsim, 1.2 is looking pretty good so far!
On the topic of the grease stains, I agree with Abd von Mumit, they are too black and flat looking. The pool of fuel or whatever under the drum in the sub pen looks a lot more like what these stains should be but that pool of fluid was obviously part of the floor texture, not a shadow on top... The only proper fix I can imagine is to add new transparent textures to the game and place them on top of the floor in the relevant compartments, but naturally that would involve either a lot of hexing or some other method of modifying the GR2's. Then again, if we get to that point we'll be able to fix just about anything that bothers us!
As for bugs I noticed, (not sure if it's been said before) the inner dial of the compass in the CT is actually a speedometer dial and the radio officer's desk shadow still has a hole under the compass.
I have a suggestion for the engineer's panel, though... In reality, I believe most of those gauges were used for indicating oil pressure, fuel pressure and perhaps fuel flow so could we put in dial faces for various pressures and have the needles move with power output like in the motor room? I suppose it'd make sense to leave a fuel level gauge on either side but it just seems silly to me that CO2 would be indicated on a panel specifically for the engines...
On a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen the extra telegraph positions on the real engine telegraphs? Check it out!
They've got positions for switching to electric motors, switching to diesels, charging the batteries... Not sure what it means by "Beide Maschinen 10 Weniger," though.
Anyhow, nice job Steel and keep up the good work!
