I haven't read the whole thread but I think this is an absoutly excellent Mod and thank you. I have been chatting with a Flying Instructor in my Squadron who has done many real Cat launches. He says he never noticed any noise from the Cat but did feel the jolt as the sling released as the aircraft left the deck. If this Mod can be improved it is mainly from the asthetic point of view.... Just to look nice...
Maybe some steam - I expect someone could come up with that.
Maybe a jolt throught the airframe when leaving the deck.
Maybe a Sling that falls away as the aircraft leave the deck
As I say, these are all just asthetics on what is an excellent Mod.
As for functionality, maybe the Cat could only actually work if the Engine power is above say 80%. Anyone releasing the chock below that is clearly trying to taxi and above that trying to launch. Just an idea.
As for locking in when not required. Well, just make the diameter of the lock in area small. My friend said this was actually the case and he would feel the shuttles moving his aircraft sideways into position so this is pretty realistic really.
Just thoughts on what is an excellent Mod and very very well done...
