Patch 2.8.19.2w is in 1st post.
It doesn't have the contents of patch 2.8.19.1w.
So you have to apply it after installing Patch 2.8.19.1w.

- Edit total weight calculation codes from stock to reflect external fuel tank's fuel consumed amount.

thanks for the two patches, but the catapult gear still does not show up ... using the said classfile starting with 9EE from 2.8.17 solves the problem... might need to readjust the new classfiles of the same name as I have seen it is bigger than the old one....

In all modules, Griffon? Can you share a practical example? Module, Map, Carrier, Aircraft... or a ready-mission.

oh, and a screenshot

[Griffon_301]

I have tried WAW exclusively and basically CVEs and the Essex class carriers as I am currently working on converting a set of USN training missions for use in BAT...
With stock 2.8.19.2 there simply is nothing displayed when you place an aircraft on the cat...with the replacement classfile from 2.8.17 you can see the cradle underneath the aircraft that attaches it to the cat...just a small visual gimmick but it looks great and adds to the immersion...

[whistler]

Yep.

BAT v3.7


BAT v3.8.3

[Griffon_301]

That's the problem ...
While testing I also found out that the catapult works on the US CVE jeep carriers but not on the carrier1 that is the stand-in for the RN escort carriers (it's called HMS Ameer in the game)
Entries in the catapults.ini are there...

Strange .... my B.A.T. v3.8.3 (no additional mod installed) -- WAW shows catapult gears for F4U or F6F.

3do/Arms/CatHook contents existing ?



They have to be extracted automatically by BAT installer exe ....

[Griffon_301]

3.8.3 has the old classfile from engine mod 2.8.17 in, the patches for BAT 3.8.3 come with 2.8.19 and that's the problem! Try the latest version of the engine mod with BAT and you will see the problem...

[Griffon_301]

problem solved!
I checked the new classfile 9EE.... and saw that there is a lot of new cablehook files mentioned, problem is, the EngineMod as it is in BAT 3.8.3 is not the latest as per your released version plus patches!
all those sub type cablehooks are missing in the 3do folder and thats the reason they do not show up in WAW right now...
with the old EngineMod I guess you called a common cablehook for all aircraft and thats why it works with the old 9EE classfile...
so for now, I took the 3do folder from your released 2.8.19 patch and updated it with your patches and then copied over the whole monty to the WAW folder into the EngineMod...now the hooks show as they should!

Hey Wes, During the Jet age some airliners needs a Thrust reverser once Landed, like B 707, IL-2 1946 needs a Thrust reverser.
