LuftWolf and Amizaur's Realism Mod Poll #10: The SLAM-Poon

Well, the long and the short of it at 9:34 EST on Easter Sunday is that its working... I had to do a bunch of extra things to get around a problem that essentially amounts to "these missile don't like time compression" only to find the only way around it is to NOT use time compression during missile testing (because it totally fudges all the range calculations and if something is a bit off with these SLAM-ER hacks, the missile is going into the sea), and I'll leave it at that for now.

So I'm going to do ANOTHER build from the bottom up, without all the unnecessary work arounds and test without time compression.

It looks like TC+missiles are bad combo in general... all kinds of things might be messed up because the game can't calculate the ranges properly (they are moving too fast to calculate with TC on), so I'm going to say here now that I don't recommend using TC with missile in the air.

Ok, maybe another build of LWAMI is around the corner after all... this one seems worth doing 3.03 for.

Any other things people want to see in a new LWAMI build that you don't think will take forever and a day to do?
