Well, I did like you said (I still can't see in the first post anything about what you were saying.  I think I'm going blind).

But it hardly matters.  I can't get this to work anyway.  I set the OS2U to takeoff from the Iowa, and it's not even on the catapult.  It's facing perfectly fore and aft and when it launches, it just falls onto the deck and explodes. 

I have Mikoyan's USN Vought-Sikorsky OS2U Kingfisher, v1.7 (With rear gunner)

This one: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,36119.0.html

I did NOT add ten010 patch for the Kingfisher.  I saw in Mikoyan's above thread that the current Kingfisher version, 1.7 won't work from a catapult because of ten010's patch or something like that.

I am wondering if it's time to just give up.  I swear that this works for everyone but me, but I can't imagine what I'm missing.

Sorry my mistake when I checked my DBW install I forgot to look inside the engine mod so the file catapult.ini is inside that folder (version 2.6 or above) so look into folder #dbw/sas engine mod (or similar)/com/Maddox/il2/objects/catapult.ini and add the text specified in the first post just make sure that the heading of the entry for the ship  [USSIowaBB61] is the same in both files catapult.ini and ships.ini I will correct my wrong statement above

I thank you greatly.  I spent quite a bit of time on this forum, hunting down every damned thing I thought or even dreamed that I would need to make this mod work.  I think I had more fun last time I visited my dentist.

But...I got it working.  I must have taken off from the USS Iowa about 800 times!

I am a happy pony.
