Korea carrier cats work, check new catapult.ini to ensure configured correctly.  Default was not for my install.  See stationary.ini for carrier reference.

Monty and I have them working in DBW for the Korean campaign we were working on, mine still work (Valley Forge/Boxer).

Cheers

Here are the Settings in Engine Mod "out of the Box", what changes can be made to correct Carrier Take Off behavior?

dCatapultOffsetY -130
dCatapultOffsetX2 27.6
dCatapultOffsetY2 -137.5

now look at stationary.ini entries for those ships.  See the fix needed for cat.ini?

[352nd_Hoss]

Why don't you just tell us Wind............. I'm not a Modder, so I wouldn't know...........What would the Stationary.ini have to do with moving Carriers anyway?

On mobile, will post fix when on il2 rig.

[352nd_Hoss]

Okay, fixed it, in the Engines Hot key folder under !SAS_Engine_Mod_4111_v26/com/maddox/il2/objects/catapults.ini you will find those settings you were talking about for the Valley Forge and Boxer, change them to look like this..

[com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.KoreaCarrier$USSValleyForgeCV45]
dCatapultOffsetX 9
dCatapultOffsetY -130
dCatapultOffsetX2 27.6
dCatapultOffsetY2 -137.5
catapultPower     16
catapultPowerJets 22

[com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.KoreaCarrier$USSBoxerCV21]
dCatapultOffsetX 9
dCatapultOffsetY -130
dCatapultOffsetX2 27.6
dCatapultOffsetY2 -137.5
catapultPower     16
catapultPowerJets 22

works in my install anyway.............

Yep, that is the fix!  just back to my il2 rig and saw your post.  Good stuff, and yet that update to the catapults.ini will fling the birds off the Boxer and VF.

Also, keep an eye out for any other modded carriers that may be in the ini (or perhaps not, but can be added) by following this config trace. 

Basically the stationary.ini reference of:
USSValleyForgeCV45    ships.KoreaCarrier$USSValleyForgeCV45       1

Must be same reference in catapult.ini:
[com.maddox.il2.objects.ships.KoreaCarrier$USSValleyForgeCV45]
