I believe there are currently two variants available.Which is the most up to date and bug free?

Molon Labe · 10-18-06, 11:01 AM

3.02 is the flagship version, about the only issue with it are the helos occasionally crashing.

The 4.xx playtest is a very advanced version with a lot of new features. It doens't come with documentation, but you can find instructions of most of the controls here on the forum. In my observation, the homing functions Mk50s and Mk54s are a bit buggy. I think this version is fun to play with as it may well be the shape of things to come (a blessing, not a curse

), but for competitive purposes I'd stick with 3.02 for now.

I have seen v3.02 and one with jgme?? after it.Which is the definitive version?

Neither one, the only difference is the automatic installer/unistaller jgme.
So if you prefer automatic one click installation go with the lwami 3.02 jgme, otherwise go for the lwami 3.02 and install it manually.

Mk50 and Mk54 are a bit buggy huh?

This is the first I've heard of this.

Email me with the details Ken. Thanks! (I don't frequent the boards commonly at this time... although I hope that changes soon)

Cheers,
David

I thought I emailed or PMed you awhile back. Lemme see if I can find my old message, if not I'll do the best my memory allows for.

LWAMI 4.xx Doctrines work message:

Doctrine 'Torp5365' Completely does not work,
Doctrine 'Torp6576' - cruise speed only between 22-28 Kts...

Mistake Doctrine or mistake NavalSimEngine?:hmm:

LuftWolf · 11-03-06, 10:59 PM

Those torpedoes work much differently now. If you haven't read the instructions, I doubt you'll get them to work.

Just a quick update on that very topic. I have reason to start working again on the LWAMI project, so expect to see a Pre-DW 1.04 Preview version of LWAMI 4.xx very soon.

ML has sent me a few bug reports that I'm going to work out, and I'm going to finally write a formal instruction manual on how to use the advanced torpedo controls.

Somewhere between what I want to happen and what I think will probably happen, DW 1.04 + LWAMI 4.xx will actually exist at some point in some form. I hope I don't have to scale back any of the torpedo controls... it's just that every time I think we've got a chance to make a "final version" of DW+LWAMI something else that sucks pops up.

Good thing this is a long term hobby, I've had a nice break, so perhaps it's time to be SCS's proctologist once more. Cock

David

Are all of the scenarios hosted by Bill Lwami compatable?

That's great news LW! Sure hope SCS can deliver on 1.04........

This mod ver 3.02 undo the repair for clicking the Narrowband to get the DEMON display. After installing LWAMI 3.02, clicking narrowband display wont' let you see the DEMON display(This was fixed in official patch 1.03).

I love this mod. I think it's great. I hate the idea that countermeasures blow up the torpedoes. Pls get this mod tidy up to minimize bugs. Thx for the great work.

btw i've forgotten my username & password to this forum and the admin didn't recognised my email. So here i am starting all over again.

Dr.Sid · 11-05-06, 04:03 AM

I seriously doubt that LWAMI could ever fix NB-demon problem. No version I had fixed it and I can't imagine how it could it could. LWAMI ss 'just' a database and doctrine mod, and this bug seems to originate in the code.

XabbaRus · 11-05-06, 05:19 AM

It is not a bug, to get the DEMON display to work you have to designate a contact on BROADBAND FIRST if you designate your contact on Narrowband first they DEMON won't work.

YOu always see your contact first on NB because of the way the system works, so you either designate it on NB first to start your initial track, then when it becomes visible on BB you drop your NB tracker and redesignate on BB and you will get your DEMON display.

Sheesh this has been explained a hundred times.

Please reference these definitions...

Broadband sources create acoustic energy over a wide range of frequencies, similar to a thermal source in electro-optics. Typical broadband sources are noise from either the propeller/shaft, flow noise and some propulsion systems. Noise from the propeller and shaft is generally at low frequency, meaning less than 1000 Hz. The rate of rotation can amplitude modulate the noise, and this propeller blade rate tonal noise can be detected and demodulated to measure the shaft or propeller blade rate.

Narrowband sources radiate within a small band about a particular frequencies, or class of frequencies. Typical sources are the various pieces of machinery found in every ship, including example, pumps, motors, electrical generation equipment and propulsion systems. When specifying narrowband sources, it is important to also specify the frequency at which it occurs.
