Well i guess that mean i should go into greater detail. (I can send you the mission if you wish)


Well the mission is in Guadalcanal(Online version) There's a fleet of 2 carrier's and several ship's, Both of these carrier's are the intrepid. One ship is loaded with Sbd's and the other with f4f's. Prior to when i installed this mod all the f4f's would taxis forward unfold there wing's and went on there merry way. (BTW it's a rainy mission with high seas carrier heading 95 ) Now after i installed the catapult mod Now immediately when i spawn my screen freezes for about 5 seconds before i see the next frame. Then all the Ai unfold there wing's and every one in the way gets destroyed. After there done destroy all the other planes where wingtip's are still intersecting. By this time FPS went up to playable. After i catapult my self off, they take off normally and when there all off the carrier does my game return to normal.

I ran this mission again with the Catapult mod Off and it work perfectly fine nice and smooth.

Computer spec's:
2.6GHZ dual core AMD processor
2 Gig's of DDR2 RAM at 800MHZ
Nvidia 9500GT 512Mb's core clocked at 550Mhz and Memory at 800Mhz
250gig HD (Only using 30 and i recently defraged)
(No over clock)

I am also going to add that Planes like the RWD can;t be launched properly. They get launched straight up and usually the engine fires or wing rip's off. (Not like it's meant to be launched just want to know if some thing can be done)

Fireball,
Thanx for the Catapult mod! but, unfortunately, it will not launch the Corsair up, up and away. There is not even close enough catapult power to launch it without the plane falling off the end of the deck. It needs serious punch to launch planes. As it is now, I cannot use it at all. Sure, I can park the plane by it, put the chocks in, and it sets the plane and catapult, it simply does not have enough Puuuushh!!! Ummph!

Thats only on the static carrier's. In reality planes wouldn't be launched from a stationary carrier.

If you have the carrier moving it should be enough. If it's Really just not launching just go all out and set you wind mod speed you carrier to the max (In the .mis file) and Then try.

Just make sure that you have the carrier(s) heading aligned with any airfields that you have set up as Home Bases.

This is a great mod.Thank you.

[Muas]

Top stuff! It launches a TBM quite easily. Top stuff indeed!

Not historical but fun I launched a P-38. Thanks Fireball for a great Mod. it makes our carrier operations with more immersion launching our Hellcats.

Hi all,

[American]

Well i ran the mission that i was talking about hundreds of time really. It was the first time it lagged that bad. And again i shut it off tested it and it worked fine. BTW i must correct my self it;s not a rainy mission it's just cloudy. When i was making it i intended it to be rainy. Ill run further test.

[VF-51_Cobraj]

Clouds or anything for that matter affect FPS. Fog is the worst, and mix in some rain and you have a slide show

Are you using the newest Carrier Takeoff Mod? CarrierTakeoff_b4

It is possible FPS are affected I just don't notice it. Are you using XP?

[VF-51_Cobraj]

Send me the mission America. Cobraj@airgroup51.com

Thanks! I'll have a look.

Cat still not sending Corsair up with weapons even in coop with ship moving at full steam..

[American]

Have you tried the wind mod yet?

One of my computer teachers usted to give me advice for example. the 15-20 min rule. If your having a problem finding or doing some thing spend 15-20 min on a way to do it more efficiently or to figure it out (What ever the case maybe) before you ask a question. It can save you the embarrassment and time. Just keep try configurations.

[VF-51_Cobraj]

I agree Ramstein the cat on a heavy loaded Corsair or any very heavy only gets 60-70 kts off the front of the boat. I couldn't launch one either.

Fireball needs to add some steam pressure.
