[2022.1] Realistic VIIC Exterior & Camouflage Skins

IMPORTANT: Clear your Cache & Data Sheets before running this update for the first time - and read everything below! WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO? It's an extensive, detailed exterior re-skin of the game's hull & conning towers (currently only default Turm & Turm I). The new textures have been carefully drawn, painted and weathered based on research of technical plans, photos & accurate scale model parts. The positions and sizes of some deck details have been improvised to suit the UBOAT Type VIIC model. This version also includes camouflage skins and a deck gun mount cover which you can use to remove the deck gun and cover its mounting. These features are available as upgrades you can buy from the warehouse in port. WHAT DOESN'T THIS MOD DO? It doesn't change any 3D models. Several of these need modifications to make them more historically accurate. MODIFIED TEXTURES & DETAILS INCLUDED IN THIS VERSION: Please read the notes on the slide images above. COMPATIBILITY - Doesn't require you to start a new career. - It replaces vanilla hull and conning tower textures so isn't compatible with other skin mods. - Fully compatible with the Emblems Expanded mod! KNOWN ISSUES - In wet weather, the snorkel cover may render in a lighter colour. - Incorrect texture scaling on some sections of the jumping wires. (these are bugs which also occur with the vanilla game textures) TROUBLESHOOTING If you can't see the new textures, exit the game and delete your Cache & Data Sheets files (C:\Users\ \AppData\LocalLow\Deep Water Studio\UBOAT\) then load your saved game. WHY ARE THE NEW UPGRADES 'BETA' FEATURES? These kind of upgrade mods haven't been done before. If you want to try them, I recommend you create a new test career and see how well they work for you before trying them in your main career. CAMOUFLAGE SKINS (beta) HOW TO INSTALL A SKIN There are two skins included which you can see in the slide images above. I will add more in future updates. To install one, visit the Warehouse > choos
