TLAM's right about the Quick Missions... those missions are designed with platforms already in range of each other. Surface platforms especially will see each other immediately and start shooting immediately.

About not starting what you can't finish... keep in mind that you don't have to play a campaign with the same database all the way through. What you can't do is start a mission, save it, change the DB, and then load the mission in progress.

But moving on...

In the first campaign mission, the player is sometimes detected at startup. That's it. Nowhere near a campaign-killer. Before we released 3.10, I played through the stock campaign with the mod installed to look for bugs. The campaign wasn't futile... It was easymode.

Don't feed the exaggerated myth!

Thanks again.
Just about everything that ships with the game works well with the mod. That first stock campaign mission is the known exception, it just gets a lot of "press."

If you haven't checked out subguru.com, that's "the place" for aftermarket DW missions. Another site is CADC, although there is a lot of overlap, there are some missions there that Bill never posted to Subguru. Many of these missions are specifically designed for LWAMI, and even those that aren't are still going to work. I know of 2 missions in the whole DW world that were designed for stock DW that don't work with LWAMI. I've invited others to name more, and I don't think I ever got an answer.
