BETA12 pack (Link is erased)
Changes from BETA11 - Island fix, flight deck collision fix (*.ini are not changed)
Changes from BETA10 - many parts fix, useless files deleted
You have to erase BETA10 or older install folder completely. Don't overwrite BETA12 onto BETA10 or older folder.
(onto BETA11, overwrite BETA12 OK)
BETA12 needs Ship Extention 2.10
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,18742.0.html for full functions.
UP3RC4 isn't compatible to Ship Extention 2.10, in limited functions (without rotating radars) you can use BETA12 ships in UP3RC4.
And this Essex SCB-125 has Catapults , but they work on only this new Catapult MOD.

At 27th Dec. 2011, DBW or UP3RC4, HSFX5, SASModAct3 - all the MOD exvironments are supported by this Catapult MOD and we can use Catapult on Essex.
HSFX5, SASModAct3 (
without Jetwar ver1.2)are 25th Feb. 2012 version is latest.
Only UP3RC4 is 27th Dec. 2011 version is latest and some functions limited.
DBW1.71, SASModAct3 with Jetwar ver1.2 are Anto's AI~Carrier MOD v2.5 is latest.
But for AI, enabling some new Jets use Catapult is need to version-up Carrier Take-Off MOD.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,20339.0.htmlUP3.0RC4 and DBW1.71 have CTO functions inside.
(But DBW1.71 version is a few buggy, I released a patch version5.7.2 for DBW1.71.)

How to use catapults?
1. install new Catapult MOD
2. You have to taxi you airplane from spawning point to the catapult starting point and push "Toggle Chocks" key, then airplane will be set on the Catapult.
After you make full-throttle, push "Toggle Chocks" key again, the catapult push your aircraft to take-off.
3. When you enable "Carrier Take-off MOD", AI airplanes jump to the catapult starting point, not taxi.
