Catapult launch with Grumman Tracker - mdv - 10-15-2012 08:44 AM
Is is possible to launch the Grumman Tracker from an aircraft carrier using the steam catapult? I have been able to successfully land it using the tailhook but taking off is virtually impossible. Do I miss a trick? I tried shift-U and shift-I, but these commands don't seem to do anything.

As far as I know, this only works for FSX with Accelerator. Add the following to the aircraf.cfg file.
[launch_assistance]
launch_bar_pivot = 5.4, 0.0, -2.17
launch_bar_lug = 5.8, 0.0, -2.23
Then it will work. I'm not sure if the aircraft is in the exact correct position, but that can be tweaked.
