I finally made some progress fiddling. Folks can use the downloads on Combat ACE provided they have the modernized enterprise LOD from YAP to have it functional in SF2. I went ahead and made a similar replacement for myself, but using the pre-refit CVAN type load from YAP set 7. If anyone owns that YAP set and wants to use the CVAN version of enterprise I found the following catapault and arrestor settings work well enough. Figured out the launch time setting slowed the cat shot and solved my landing gear snapping issue. For the DATA.INI:
