How do I do that?
Like I said before I m new to DW

New users generally don't mess with DWEdit. But it's actually rather simple, and this task in particular should be fairly straightforward.

First, make a backup of the mod database. Just copy and paste the database folder someplace safe.

If you don't have DWEdit (and why would you, unless you're a modder), it's available at subguru. The mast dialog page is accessed through the icon with the black symbol that looks sort of like an old train's locomotive. From there you'd select the mast you wanted to change, e.g. "688I TA Stb" and double click the name to populate the entry. One of the fields that would be filled in with a reference to a sensor, such as "688 TB-23." I haven't done this part before, but I'd imagine if you double clicked that field a window would come up allowing you to select any of the sensors in the database, so you'd select 688 TB-16 and click OK. Then you'd click Apply to write the changes to the DB, repeat for the port array, and click the Save icon to overwrite the old DB.

version of LAWMI

ok Thank's for the tip I will try it

Is there any version of LWAMI that doesn't swap the TA (TA on the right place as it were on real-life) or do I need to downgrade the mod before the version that swap the TA..??

BTW Is there any reference sheet of this mod regarding platform, sensors, weapons..??? All I can find are reference sheet for stock DW but no LWAMI. It's very difficult to make the necessary tactical estimate let alone judgment without having reference sheet

Thank's beforehand

The TB-23 was added in version 3.00 as the starboard array (stock DW has two TB-16s). There is no version of the mod with the TB-23 on the port side.

The current package includes a platform/weapon reference guide.

Already try it to swap the data on mast dialog, but it's only change the name/label but not the sensor it self. Since the sensor performance it self is control trough the sensors dialog (Am my right or wrong here...??? since I don't have the slightest clue of what all those numbers on sensor dialog meaning for)
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but by swapping the value on mast dialog I only managed to change the name/label but the sensor still TB16 on the portside unless the value on sensors dialog is swap too

Is there any LWAMI 3.11 with object.eod with TB16 on the starboard side..?? or could someone please create it..??

If you have a database with the TB-16 on the starboard side, it is not LWAMI 3.11 anymore. It is a "new" mod. That may seem nitpicky, but if you're trying to join a multiplayer session, it matters.

On changing the sensors. I was wrong about the mast's sensor assignment being on the mast dialog. It's actually on the sensor dialog, on the top of the page, over toward the right. The data shown on the mast dialog just displays what sensor was assigned to the mast via the sensor dialog page.

On the sensors page, select the 688I TB16 by double clicking it from the menu on the left. At the top of the page, toward the right, there is a drop-down for masts. From there, select 688I Stb TA. Click Apply to save the changes. Repeat for the 688I TB23, but select 688I Port TA instead. After the changes (and after making sure you've backed up the original database somewhere) click save from the main window.

That's it.

BTW you still need to swap the mast assignment in mast dialog box too because swapping the sensors did swap the sensors but the graphics representation still control by mast dialog.
This modding stuff look fun just need to learn one step at a time.

Just check the result of swapping the mast and sensor assignment, still doesn't work. It's still TB-23 on starboard side
Any idea where I get it wrong (I swap the sensor on sensors dialog box and swap the value on mast dialog box)
