Capun & Gramps,

Thank you guys for these ships.

 

I made a test mission using the CV-43 Coral Sea & F-9J Cougar & noted if you don't launch quick,,the plane will roll off the end of the deck,,and if you do launch the second your on the cat,,it will fire you off at over 600 kts,eyeballs pined to back of neck!! lol.. :grin:

 

What edits to the carrier cats,,can be done to decrease launch speed??

 

Will put up mission if needed...

 

Thanks again for your works.

JSF_Aggie found a couple of typoe in the data ini file

Open up the file and make the following edits

 

[MovementSystem]

MaxRoadSpeed=18.78

MaxOffRoadSpeed=18.78

PowerAvailable=17151097.0

MaxTurnRate=1.5

MaxDeceleration=0.10

SuspensionConstant=0.0 <- Correct value, otherwise the ship pitches and throws the plane off the cat

 

[Deck]

SystemType=FLIGHT_DECK

FlightDeckHeight=14.5837

FlightDeckLenght=280.178 <- There was a typo here

 

[Cat1]

SystemType=CATAPULT

CatapultID=1

StartPosition=-8.2838,52.7304,14.5837

EndPosition=-8.2838,132.7502,14.5837

LaunchTime=0.5 <- Play with this value. 2.0 works with the high powered planes, but you need to reduce it to launch the slower planes

Do the same for the other cats.

Horah...Capun,

Got it fixed,,thanks for your help.

 

I checked all entrys in mission & CV-43 Data.ini,,made necessary changes as per

your advise.

 

A funny thing happened though,,,i experimented with the LaunchTime entry...

changed it to LaunchTime=0.1 thinking it would make cat speed slower,,,but instead,,when i released brake to launch,,,i blacked out for a few seconds,,when i came to i was at 15,200 ft, & 1,200 kts inverted over the carrier....LOL... :grin:

 

So i adjusted LaunchTime to 2.0..now my cat launches are perfect....for the Cougar... :) Here's the test msn.

Launch Time = Time It Takes For Piston To Go From Catapult Start to Catapult End.

 

Not to Be Confused With Launch POWER...

 

0.1 BASICALLY tol dthe game to throw the piston from one of the cat to the other in .1 seconds... which would result in a warp drive :)
