Are you going to full zone 5 `burner, then hitting the "B" (or your mapped brake) key?

 

If you wait for it to poot you out, you're going swimming...

I've been able to launch F-4's, A-4's and A-6's in other missions so I don't know what I could be doing wrong. Is there maybey a way to increase the strenght of the catapult?

Can you post the exact mission your having a problem with?

 

The other missions your talking about using the F-4,A-4, & A-6,are you using the Forrestal with those??

 

I haven't been swimming in awhile... :grin:

I just tried the new F-14 mission set available here, the thing is I can't launch from the Forestall, I reach around 80 knots and then go swimming :search:

Really wish I had a better understanding of what makes this game tick  :cool:

 

I assume that you are using the up to date CV59 Forrestal, not the SP2a version, nor the Check-Six hack. Look at the CV59_data.ini

 

There are no "cat strenght", what it has is a cat time to launch, the smaller the number the faster it will kick you out of the deck. For heavier planes there are three things you need to worry

1- Launch time

2- Cat lenght

3- Plane total weight

 

The easiest, fastest way is to reduce the launch time. Just note that if you use a too small time with a lighter plane, you can actually redout (or blackout)

 

[Cat1]

SystemType=CATAPULT

CatapultID=1

StartPosition=-14.2021,57.8598,19.4 <- If you substract the EndPosition second value from the StartPosition second value

EndPosition=-10.4808,157.5803,19.4 <- you get the cat lenght

LaunchTime=1.0 <- This number should launch the F-14

LaunchEffect=CatLaunchEffect

CatapultEffect=CatSteamEffect

thanks guys, I appreciate it :cool:

 

Before I tried this I edited the mission to use the Victorious and an FAA F-4J, I've been waiting for a game that would let me do this kind of flying in this era for years and after downing 4 Migs and evading a few SAMs then trapping on my first approach I have the biggest, and probably dumbest, grin I've ever had :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
