Hey
I started this Panther campaign but I can't get my or AI planes to take off. We all stall into the water after a few meters after take-off

After reading this I added these lines to the mis file

Code: [Select]

 
[mods]
  CatapultBoost 1
  CatapultAllow 1
  CatapultAllowAI 1
  CatapultAI_EssexClass 1but still can't take off. What am I missing?
Any help appreciated.

Is your ship moving or stationary?

Mr. “Fhechene”. I have a question.

Are the planes lined up on the aircraft carrier before takeoff?
Is this part checked?

Is your ship moving or stationary?

The ship is moving at 50 knots. Max speed is 56 knots

They start at the carrier's deck, side by side, not lined up. The option is checked

They use the catapult but drop off the bow?

I feel Ive had this problem in the past but it was just something simple to change.  I can test it.

EDIT:
I tried it in the QMB with a flight Panthers taking off of the USS boxer.

I turned on AUTOPILOT to watch the takeoffs.

So my Panther went up to the cat, but did not engage the catapult, so it just accelerated off the deck into the water.

All the AI Panthers attached to the cat and launched off the deck just fine.

To "fix" this I can just taxi up to the cat and engage chocks to attach to the cat, or shut off autopilot for a second to attach after auto moved me up to the cat.

Also: this was the same with the carrier not moving.


So was it all of the aircraft not taking off, or just yours on autopilot?

This was it! Thanks!
If I taxi to the catapult and engage chocks, the catapult activates for me. The AI waits for me to take off before taking off themselves.

Notice that the original campaign has the .mis files set in 1940, so I'll correct that in my own files.
