Question about aircraft carrier catapult

Wingberry · December 10, 2025 at 10:26 AM

Hello IPACS,

First of all, thanks for the update, it is amazing. I found something, but I am not sure if this would be fixed any time soon. I wanna do cold and dark on f18, everything is ok, so when I am ready I taxi to the catapult area. And here is the problem. I cannot use it, I need to go to menu and click on spawn position to use it properly. Is there a way to make it work even if you taxi on the correct position? Thank you for answer. If you don´t understand something from what i have written, feel free to ask more details.

For now, to use the catapult launch go to the location menu and select the catapult launch start position. You'll be hooked up to the catapult and once you apply full throttle it catapults you away.

It's not implemented optimally. Going from cold and dark to the catapult and then back to the menu? The positions for cold and dark are also poorly chosen; sometimes...Vehicles there. The process should take place from the parking space to the catapult and subsequent launch.

Yes, the carrier in its current form is first of all an entry. I have looked at the data in the PC version and it is clear that the preparations for further optimizations have already been made. However, the process must also be clearly defined, how to roll onto the catapult in such a way that the aircraft is then suitable.
