- A functioning Catapult system on the carrier where we could "attach" and then lunch with a full combat load

*NB* - i'm discussing a new aircraft, in theory, rather than a replacement/plugin modified existing - in the eventuality that the sound mod gurus can eventually add-on completely new AC and keep the existing code *clean* of FM/DM changes to existing AC. I don't see this happening yet, and preferably after 4.09 comes out to keep the On-Whiners happy.

I wonder if the code used for launching the V1 off of the ramp could be somehow harnessed for this?

Is it possible to modify the take-off portion of the Hurricane, and replace it with take-off characteristics of the V1 buzz-bomb, and call it a Hurri-Cat, as was launched off of Freighters in Mid-Atlantic convoy duty?



Would make some interesting Scenarios involving FW-200's..

Take a look into how the I-16s are attached to the TB-3 SBM(?). You taxi up close to the attach point under the wing, hit "Y" and presto! You're hanging there with your gear retracted, ready to go. Once in the air, you hit "Y" again, and you're falling away.

If the secret to the catapult launch system for the V-1 can be figured out and applied to the carriers, wouldn't the same attachment/launch system for the I-16/TB-3 work here as well? Just taxi up to the catapult track, hit "Y" and you would be snapped into the exact correct position on the catapult. Run your engine up to takeoff power, and hit "Y" again - WHAM! you're off to the races!

This would be a tremendous boon to the DF servers with carriers in them, but would also help out in coops as well, especially with the CVEs!

OH Yeah, and hooks on the Hurricane and Gladiator too
