FastCargo Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Well, I know you can shorten the catapults....other than that, I know of no other way to get the aircraft ON the carrier in a campaign mission. You need the catapults to be able to show the aircraft in your flight. FastCargo Quote
FastCargo Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Actually, just tested shortening the carrier catapult (LHA-1) to barely a centimeter in length. Worked like a champ...was able to lift off using a combo of vectored thrust and flaps with very little forward thrust from the catapult itself. However, be careful with this technique. Any aircraft which uses that catapult will not get the velocity it needs...and your wingmen aren't smart enough to use the vectored thrust to takeoff... FastCargo Quote
Silverbolt Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 okay i found the in the data file this: [Cat1]SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=1 StartPosition=-4.9,85.01,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,105.01,22.6 LaunchTime=1 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= [Cat2] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=2 StartPosition=-4.9,55.0,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,75.1,23 LaunchTime=0.8 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= [Cat3] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=3 StartPosition=-4.9,23.0,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,45.1,23 LaunchTime=0.8 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= [Cat4] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=4 StartPosition=-4.9,-7.0,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,15.1,23 LaunchTime=0.8 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= [Cat5] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=5 StartPosition=-4.9,-38.0,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,-15.1,23 LaunchTime=0.8 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= [Cat6] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=6 StartPosition=-4.9,-79.0,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,-55.1,23 LaunchTime=0.8 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= so i delete it, and for my surprise. it starts , but after this the all other aircrafts desapear and i can walk to the deck normaly , like a standart runaway and i takeoff normaly but, i want the start position, just for Vertical takeoff Quote
FastCargo Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Dude, You need to SHORTEN the catapults...not delete them! Otherwise, the game will try to put all the aircraft in the same place. Instead of deleting, change this: [Cat1] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=1 StartPosition=-4.9,85.01,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,105.01,22.6 LaunchTime=1 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= to this [Cat1] SystemType=CATAPULT CatapultID=1 StartPosition=-4.9,85.01,22.7 EndPosition=-4.9,85.02,22.6 <------ note the change here! LaunchTime=1 LaunchEffect= CatapultEffect= ReadyAnimationID= ReadyAnimationTime= FastCargo Quote
