I don't want you to change your mod as others might like what you've done, so I'd like to ask what file do I need to edit and where is it located in your mod folders so I can customize the scope to my liking.

Thanks for your help in advance,

I meant for the periscope shaft to be a metallic silver/chrome like they were historically. However, I was not able to get it exactly how I wanted due to some weirdness in the controller files. I was at least able to get the periscope shafts inside and outside the sub to match(they did not match in stock).

Anyway, the file for the texture on the periscope shaft is data/Textures/TNormal/tex/tile_metal_11.dds.

Let me know if you need help getting it to look how you want.

This looks about right. Can we see this in the next update?

That's a great picture of the typ XXIII "zentrale". Have you got pics of the accomodation crew/galley/tubes compartment ?
Thank's a bunch ?

Thanks a lot, really.
I'm a bit surprised. I've got a really precise plan of the XXIII and there is something different in your pics.
On the plan I have, the galley is on port side just after the control, the very end of the forward compartment is occupied by the two tubes.

BTW : If someone wants the plan, just PM me (it is a .gif file).

One thing i find really lacking in the boat is a fuel gauge. I prefer to look at gauges rather than a HUD feels more immersive and correct. It would be nice to see some "Useful" gauges around different rooms other than just the command room, for instance, a fuel gauge in the engine room would give you a reason to walk the boat from time to time.

Otherwise there's not much point to leaving the command room!

This boat is not a type XXIII, it is a type VII.

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate the hard work you have put into this mod. I've installed it and it is amazing the detail you have brought out on the sub. It's great to see there are still some skilled modders dedicated to the Silent Hunter series.

I hope I don't run into too much difficulty getting the shaft to look the way I imagine it to be. I've worked on a fair amount of graphics for other games in the past and have all the tools needed. If I do have an issue I'll take you up on your offer of help.

Cheers,
