Default Mods descriptions??

Sorry if this was answered already, but I've just reinstalled DW after that long time and now I reckon new mods but no info on them.

I remember LWAMI great mod and I can see its announcement's topic, but no real info regarding RA mod or Alfa Tau, just a "discussions here" which looks more like a feedback thread instead.

Can someone forward me to their websites?
Is it possible to use them altogether?

cheers

36 views and no answer, thanks!

I think I've downloaded them all, but dont know how to install.

What mod is most recommended?
Is AlfaTau the same as RA? What is DWX mod?

Default Mod status

Lwami is a very big job for cosmetics with edition of database for added realism, Alfa Tau is adding playable platforms but seems sleepy at the moment, RA is similar to Lwami for database work but as they are Russian and not shy to modify the exe files they have been able to remove some bugs of the stock game and to add new playable platforms, a thing the others obviously have not been able to achieve due to the limitations of stock files.
Millsab of France has a mod to install on top of RA.
BTW RA 1.33 is coming shortly with some new bugs removed.
Hope this helps, the community has gone a long way to improve the original game.

Thanks a lot dd149, Im going for RA then.
One more question tho, I have downloaded 2 files. RA OPFOR and RA/DWX 1.32

I use the download from the Russian site but I think the one from CADC should work too. Do not forget to install the latest fixes also for Russian site.
I will have the problem with win 7 soon as my new computer is on W7, but for time being I still run on the old one with W XP SP3.
I will check with the French community about the W7 install. Mostly it semms that when you are logged as administrator with uac deactivated it should work.
Millsab mod is not a fix for W7, it is an additional mod that can be installed on top of DWX 1.32. with some additional obejcts and database fine tuning, as our modders have a different view compared to RA team for some issues.
