[REQ] PPI and A scope empty station

The ineteriors won't take any notice of EQP files or anything like that. For an object to be added to the interior, it has to be in the CT or CR (or RR) dat file. Copy the objects into the submarine's interior and then they will show up. They are slightly too big though and will clip through the back of the hull.

I had them set up so they were operated with depth, e.g. when you were at periscope depth the radarman and the covers would be off and it would be like he was waiting to surface. At depths greater than periscope, he'd not be there and the covers would be on. Instead of depth, you could also use the radar on/off gauge to put them in place or remove them, but the radar station does look very odd with just the covers there - also the covers hide the on/off switch, so you have to turn it on from the toolbar or shortcut key. I did plan to release it, but it seems that I never did.

You can't really do it by whether or not radar is installed, as if you have SD radar, then that count as radar, even though the stations are not usable.

Now there might be a nifty way to control it with a state machine controller, but I don't know how any of that stuff works and I haven't seen anything about it either.
