See the LWAMI manual, page 2, "Compatibility Notes."

Also, is there a (single player) campaign or a set of single missions available for the latest version of LWAMI which I can download? Have tried Commander's Academy but all I get are blank pages

Cheers for the great mod, and I'm sure I'll be back with some questions about submarine sonar soon! (Can't wait to become deadly with the 688i and Kilo)

Thanks. You can find my single-player LWAMI campaign, The Liu Doctrine, here at subsim at the downloads section.

Thanks for this, I'll give your campaign a try...

I read the section in the manual and I gather that if I want to play the original campaign I just have to revert to the old database via JGSME, but LWAMI's changes to detection range, the better platform 3D models and ai doctrine changes will remain, which will change the difficulty balance of the missions, but they'll still be playable, is that right? (Sorry, I'm kinda obtuse when it comes to these things!)

Cheers!

The LWAMI mod IS the database and doctrines, so when you remove it, those go away.

It's actually the detection ranges that might burn you in the first campaign mission. Or might not. It's very random, mostly based on where you start relative to your targets. And it's only the first campaign mission where there is an issue.
