Here is my upcoming Seahawk making a catapult launch from a P-6 catapult which I have added to several ships. Here it is on Bruce Fitzgerald's mighty USS New Jersey.
The sharp eyed will note I am using the RCBCO-30 gauges as the launch method rather than the Acceleration style catapult. The reason is simple; I can adjust the cat length and launch speed in the gauges cfg.ini file. The Acceleration catapults are hard wired into the sim for 200 knots at the end of the catapult. This is totally unrealistic for this style catapult, especially for the vintage aircraft I favor. I tried it with my SOC-3 Seagull and at the end of the catapult the airplane was 200' in the air pointing straight up!
The SC-1 is close to final.
Cheers, Paul
