If I'm reading DW edit right, it's set at 2X30 right now. If your info is right, that should be an easy fix to make though. I wouldn't recommend issuing a new release just for this, but if a chunk of updates need to be made maybe we can get him to put it on thie list.

It is now clear why I experienced my mentioned above strange event!

====================
It simply gives to know why so happens.
But it does not speak for global replacement. :p

Hehe...

Sounds like I'm getting encouragement to actually make LWAMI 4.xx, which will FINALLY give DW some significant differentiation between various weapons in parameters other than range, speed, and warhead size.

I'm only one man... what I really need now is a partner to take up the role that Amizaur played, as he is now gone deep and comms are infrequent.

I am not a naval weapons expert, nor even a hobbiest for that matter. My area of hobbiest knowledge lies in WWII-era land and air weapons and combined arms doctrine.

I need a person who has been an active member of subsim for at least as long as I have to step forward and commit to doing some database editing for the new platforms. This work is time consuming but extremely easy, the person needs no familiarity with DW, only the general processing of modding software (DWedit is easy for anyone who uses Office or database tools) and a thorough knowledge modern naval weapons.

The ideal candiate is TLAM Strike, but he's also gone deep. Next would be Molon, but he's a stubborn PITA.


If you guys know anyone, let me know.

Cheers,
david

That's so unfair LW.

Stubborn pain in the ass? People who've had to deal with me should know that I'm far more arrogant than I am stubborn! I even let you get away with the Yu-8 without bitching forever about it! :p

You can make up for it by adding the the non-playable platforms from SCXIIc to the LWAMI database.

Cheers,
David

When it comes to math and stuff when determing the seeker cone or range and such I'm not your man.

Molon would be a good choice even if hes a stubbon and arrogant PITA. But hay John Holland was a stubbon PITA and Rickover was an arrogant PITA... oh wait he was just an ass...

How the **** did I get on the short list?

Lucky you... I didn't even make the list.

[Molon Labe]

Yeah! LW, why don't you pick on the better scenario designer!

[OneShot]

Actually he just needs someone to research dry data (Naval Weapon Systems, Aircraft, Ships, etc) and enters that stuff into the database - where necessary correcting existing data and if they are available (modellwise) adding some new non-playable platforms.

Most of that sounds a lot like being a lawyer (you know ... researching dry data and such) and you need someone to be very nitpicky ...

I wonder why you were only #2 on the list? :rotfl:

TLAM prolly had his modding experience going for him as the deciding factor ... :p

@Bill : If you want on that list, I'm pretty sure Lw would be more then glad of adding you .... :p

Cheers

We need a 'flip off' emoticon like they have at Frugals.

Hello Lufty, you old fogey!

I discovered, you bamboozle us some birdseed about USET-80 torpedo! But this torpedo is optionally WIRE-GUIDED weapon! Where did you find these false informations??? In the stock DW database??? You stated yourself there are many bugs there, you have been still correcting in LAWAMI mod!

[Molon Labe]

God forbid he doesn't find everything wrong with the stock DB.

Care you provide us with a source, btw?
