Ok, here is the deal: I want to install these gauges that let you catapult at a desired speed just by arming it and releasing the parking brake as well the gauge that stops the aircraft when it lands with the its tailhook down in a Corsair (the DSB one)..How to do it, how to place the switches in the panel and how to make it work? :-?

Any comment apreciated very much!

Also, 3wire is worth a try. This one does not require any aircraft modification. Any aircraft with a tailHook will work, on any of the default FS9 carriers, as well as any carrier included in the package carr2004a.zip.

It has a catapult system that works really great.
The cable system will work only on the predefined zones (all default carriers + carriers in car2004a.zip), but the catapult works from everywhere, not only in a catapult zone.
I was using this software a lot back in my FS9 days , as you can see here:
