Catapult trouble.

[dasuto247]

So worked up my first mission of an upcoming CVE campaign supporting Saipan Invasion.Install catapult as before per the readme in the FM-1 revised folder.Install it in TBF, FM2 as before, except now it does not work.I hit set brake, lower flaps, full power, hit the WEP key, no launch.Driving me crazy this will not work, it is key to the CVE's so can fly loaded TBF's.Any ideas?

...I hit set brake, lower flaps, full power, hit the WEP key, no launch....

Dasuto,

Pardon me, but you didn't mention that you released the brakes in the sequence above. I have to assume you did, but not leaving anything to chance i thought we should ask.

Hi Dasuto

to enable a catapult launch with any piston engine aircraft it's got to have 'Emergency Power' in the .air file.

Open the.air file with AirEd - scroll down to 505 CFS Piston engine - click on the + ( to the left ) to expand and scroll down to


'Emergency Power type = 0' ( 0 means no WEP )

change the 0 to 3 , save and exit , your War Emergency Power is now available ( delete cdp file and restart game )

or did you know all that already?

cheers
