i think FOTRSU team re-did some of the gauges thats why they are so
good quality. my gauges are based on OakGrooves original work with more
contrast added.
of course there is no need to ask for permission for mods like this, all good

Hi vickers!
in the file "Gato_Gauges_02.dds" I think that only the gauge shown by flaminus is better and is placed next to the hydrophone. What exactly that gauge can do I haven't figured out yet but I don't think it's fundamental. I saw that you increased the contrast in various gauges and complemented them aesthetically. Good job! Exceptional are the quarters you added!
The "plane angle indicators" and the "rudder angle indicator" have a red background. Were some gauges red?
Last question: was the radar screen red or green?

@ Torpedo: That gauge is for bearing of radar contact. Yes, it's not fundamental, because we don't need very accurate radar bearing and we can also get it from PPI screen.

@vickers03: Thanks. I will make a personal mod on that. And may i ask in the next version of interior mod, is there any new compartment?

Hi vickers!
thanks for your clarifications! Now I have much clearer ideas and it is evident that the red background was used at least in certain configurations. Also for the PPI radar, I finally have confirmation that it was red, while the A-Scope was green.
I customized my sub as you explained. Now there is my real name in "LABEL_CPT.dds" and my wife's photo in "CPT_PICTURE.dds". LOL! Thanks you did an outstanding work!
The only minor thing is that the typewriter can be heard in the captain's room. I try to see if I can reduce the distance of the sound in Sh.sdl
