Increasing catapult power

[ignacioc91 101]

Hi!!! I would like to increase the catapult power of aircraft carriers. I was trying with the LHA Tarawa, as my Harriers do not gain enough speed and I end up in the water. Taking a look at the DATA.ini, I found this:

 

[Cat1]

SystemType=CATAPULT

CatapultID=1

StartPosition=-7.15,-10.0,16.70

EndPosition=-7.15,-10.0,16.70

LaunchTime=0.1

LaunchEffect=

CatapultEffect=

ReadyAnimationID=

ReadyAnimationTime=

 

 

What entry should I modify?? 

 

 

                       Thanks!!!!

Maybe launch time, minus time more aceleration......

How are you taking off with the harrier? Are you vectoring the jet's nozzles properly? Try a lighter load.

I am taking off with the nozzels i a horizontal possition. What is the propper way for take-off?

With sky jump i believe that its correct, but with flat deck like Tarawa maybe lighter loadout

Even with the ski jump UK carriers use full flaps and nozzles are vectored down about 1/4 the way towards vertical thrust as your airspeed gets to 150kts you can start to vector to horizontal thrust.

Thanks very much!

Ignacio, 

 

The catapult end points can be adjusted to simulate VTOL quite easily, as evidenced by this video that I created a couple of years ago:
