LWAMI and ACTUV platforms

3.11 contains new models from ACTUV that replace DW/LWAMI models, as well as several new platforms from ACTUV that were not in DW 1.04.

It is 100% impossible for you to have LWAMI 3.11 installed without having the ACTUV platforms, because that would require a different database, which by definition is not the 3.11 database. Models that are missing could simply be caused by the same issue that causes people not to have any of the LWAMI models--skipping the .bat file step.

One possible cause for confusion is that the ACTUV models/platforms added do not include the ACTUVs themselves.* Try looking for other models/platforms from ACTUV..... new platforms include the P-8, Guardian coast guard PC, short range prosecutor, and sport fishing boat. New models include just about every civilian ship from DW 1.04 (+ the container ship) and the Mk54 torpedo.


*I experimented with them, but due to them being sort-of submarine-ish but mostly like a surface ship, I couldn't get the desired behavior from them. I think I left all of the ACTUVs in the graphics package, for those who like to explore the archive.
