  CatapultAllowAI 1            -------------- 1 = Allows AI to use catapult
  CatapultBoost 26            -------------- sets Boost power for the catapult - it has an upper limit where it only goes to default high 20's    low 30's good for any load out carrier planes or heavies, have fun and see what you like.

@Phlegethon

I think you need to set the carrier as a home base.

I've done it for Coral Sea to add all CV's as random scrambles in QMB. You can do that too, calm down and read the Tutorials I gave you.
Player must be Plane 1 (Sqadron 1/Group 1), check then select Player. Not 2,3, or 4 and then select Player, won't work. Set the carrier you want as Homebase, you can alter the CV type and speed in .mis file with notepad later. Just make sure place the take-off point near the carrier, set target to CV. After T/O point set the point 1 in line, so you'll be on the safe side. Make the Waypoint 1 in line with runway or CV, just a few miles away, then head to the mission cordinates, lets the AI get up in line and head towards not cruising while in Take-off procedure. It's unlogical to take off and head in 90° almost direct to target, have seen this in a lot QMBs, it's getting me mad.
Hope this helps

you will have AI taking off if you put yourself in a flight of more than one (1) meaning  you.
click your plane you want, any plane just one, fmb, first click on carrier, click waypoint drop down "takeoff"
click "set" make sure you put the crosshairs spot on the carriers icon so the carriers icon shows  make another waypoint to your liking, and even more waypoints , same with landing , , landing waypoint at carrier, click dropdown "landing" click set place crosshais on carrier icon . enjoy   
just your plane, 1 or 4, in your flight will be cool as.
