Since Arma 3 Jets DLC (v1.68) it is possible to catapult Jets off an aircraft carrier. For this system to work properly a few new definitions need to be made inside the plane's config. This page will show an overview over the definitions and explain what they do.

Requirments: - Compatible aircrfat must have an animation for arrest/tail hook selection defined in CfgCehicles and modeled in 3D model (model.cfg) - Compatible aircrfat must have a memory point for cable attach position

CarrierOpsCompatability Sub-Class

class CfgVehicles
{
	class B_Plane_Fighter_01_F
	{
		tailHook = true;																		// Allow to land on carrier
		class CarrierOpsCompatability
		{
			ArrestHookAnimationList[] = {"tailhook", "tailhook_door_l", "tailhook_door_r"};		// List of animation played to animate tailhook. Defined in model.cfg (type user)
			ArrestHookAnimationStates[] = {0,0.53,1};											// Tailhook animation states when down, hooked, up.
			ArrestHookMemoryPoint = "pos_tailhook";												// TailHook memory point in plane model.p3d
			ArrestMaxAllowedSpeed = 275;														// Max speed km/h allowed for successful landing
			ArrestSlowDownStep = 0.8;															// Simulation step for calcualting how smooth plane will be slowed down.
			ArrestVelocityReduction = -12;														// Speed reduced per simulation step
			LaunchVelocity = 300;																// Speed required for take off
			LaunchVelocityIncrease = 10;														// Speed increased per simulation step
			LaunchAccelerationStep = 0.001;														// Simulation step for calcualting how smooth plane will launched from carrier catapult.
			LaunchBarMemoryPoint = "pos_gear_f_hook";											// LaunchBar memory point
		};
	};
