I used Ail's white interior last night in a mission and I must say I like it very much.

Regarding the boat being grey in Iron Coffins, I remember in the Martindale pdf that he mentioned the KM being more lax about boats being painted to spec due to shortages of paint and schedule crunches so it's very likely there were some boats near the end of the war (Iron Coffins covers the late war) that were possibly painted with grey interiors.

And the funny thing is, painted the proper lighter color... monitor, aesthetics are fine. My monitor didn't break looking at the modded screenshots. Someday UBI will make it the right way the first time.

I have the feeling that the Devs were inspired by DAS BOOT, where the inside color is the wrong one too.

I hope that can be modded in the future, with all the baked light in the textures ...

Here's a mod you might want to try. It makes the interior white: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166161

This mod has a couple of alternate floor colors to chose from: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=1683
