Default Fixes Accomplished As a Result of this Thread--Ongoing

#1 Porpoise Aft Gyro Compass
Fixed the relevant setting in the SH4\Data\Interior\NSS_Porpoise\ NSS_Porpoise CR.sim file, Dial Index #79. Edited the Display Value to min-180 max180 and the Real Value to min180 max-180 and now the Aft Gyro Compass points true.

#2 Porpoise Helm Knotmeter
Edited same CR.sim file as above Dial Index #35. Dial Type-Speed
Changed Real Val Maximum from 46.3, which was too slow, to Real Val Maximum 12.3*, which after trials appears to be very close to correct. May need final anal adjustment.
*Changed value to 12.8611 to agree with value found in Porpoise_CT.sim file. Reads accurately now.*
*Then again the stock value seems to lag about half a knot. Maybe my value was better.

#3 Fixed Aft Starboard Engine Telegraph
Found correct values in Porpoise_CT.sim file at Dial Index #15. Edited Porpoise_CR.sim file at Dial Index #89 to be exactly the same. Changed dial Type from Rudder to ThrottleStarb. Changed DisplayVal to min225 max165. Changed RealVal to min 0.0 max 10.0. Changed Command from nothing to Command=Set Telegraph.

3A Fixed Aft Port Engine Telegraph
Made same edits as above to Index #85 with the following difference--Type was changed to ThrottlePort

#4 Fixed Aft Depth Meters Values taken from meters that work.

Edited Porpoise_CR.sim file at Index #87 to fix Shallow Depth Meter. Changed DisplayVal to Min-134.0 Max 137.0. Changed RealVal to Min 4.572 Max 50.292. Changed Command from Nothing to Command=Set Depth.

Edited Porpoise_CR.sim file at Index #91 to fix Deep Depth Meter. Changed DisplayVal to min-162.5 Max162.5. Changed
RealVal to Min 0 Max 137.16. Changed command to Command=Set Depth.

#5 Fixed Compressed Air Gauge
Edited Index #65. Changed Dial Type to ComprAir. Changed DisplayVal to Min-150 Max 150. Changed RealVal to Min 0.0 Max 200.0.
Gauge now reads at 100%. However, sitting in place with engines all stop and sinking to 300 ft, then rising back to the surface produces no depletion of compressed air--neither on the Gauge edited, nor on my Taskbar Gui Compressed Air meter. Realism is set to 100%.
?
Apparently compressed air goes a lot further than I thought. Was able to sit still and drop to 300 ft then rise back to 50 ft over and over before the Gauge droped at all. Compressed air did drop though, and the Gauge read accurately.
