LuftWolf and Amizaur's Weapons and Sensors Realism Mod

You prolly know this already but don't install anything to Win7's or Vista's default folder (Program Files (x86)). Create your own installation paths. Avoids a lot of headaches that way.

You shouldn't make such a blanket statement like that. It may apply to you if you install as a user rather than an admin, but I have DW installed without issue to the x86 programs folder on W7 and run it without issue as an admin.

I just recently install DW and LWAMI and I notice that the TA position (TB-16 & TB-23/29) has been swap. How do I switch back the TA position just the way it is..??? I relatively new in this mod things so I don't have a clue how to do it and the reason I'm installing mod is to improve "realism" so I prefer thing's the way it is in the real-world.
And thanks beforehand

This isn't something I've played around with in DWEdit, but my suggestion would be to swap assignments in the Mast Dialog. If that doesn't work (causes a crash?), you could just swap the specifications and names on the sensors themselves.

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.

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

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..??
