        {
        [1] = 
        {
            Name = "AircraftCarrier",
        },
        [2] = 
        {
            Name = "AircraftCarrier With Catapult",
        }, 
        [3] = 
        {
            Name = "AircraftCarrier With Tramplin",
        }, 
    }, -- end of LandRWCategories

        TakeOffRWCategories = 
        {
        [1] = 
        {
            Name = "AircraftCarrier",
        },
        [2] = 
        {
            Name = "AircraftCarrier With Catapult",
        }, 
        [3] =

This was meant  for WW II planes but works with modern planes. On modern carriers you can have cat issues as the planes were not designed for this

What Plane ?  What Carrier ?

Upload a copy of the aircrafts lua.

That info might help.

This is it. The F-117. I tried both options. I the last option to edit the entry.lua the plane will be placed on the carrier in the editor. But the Game wont start.

F-117.lua

I'm not familiar with any new Mods of the F-117. The game runs the F-117A and most of the DCS files for that were locked away ages ago, you cant do anything to them any more. Thats not entirely true but changing anything with in game aircraft is now very difficult to do. 

What exactly is this, a new Mod of the F-117 or something you are trying to do with the DCS F-117A in the Stable version of the game.

Looking at that link there appears to be several problems with this Mod conflicting with the in game F-117A, and the Discord he mentions has nothing in it that would be of any help.  

The data I sent you above works in all of my Saved Games Mods  and should work with this, I cannot see any reason why it doesn't, sorry.   Here is the lua back again with the data as I would add it. 

F-117.lua

I managed to get an A-10C II to spawn on a CVN, but if I taxi over a hatch or lift, the wheel drops and it crashes.
