I've flown four or five missions now and it works. The fix seems to be that I need to hesitate before or on the blast deflector for at least 5-10 seconds and that will wake the ground crew.

Yes. I did request launch. A few minutes ago I just did get the crew at catapult 2 to wake up and I did hesitate for a bit longer at the deflector. Not sure if there is a specific timer that has to run down before they wake up. Still can't seem to wake up crew at catapult 1 no longer how long I park there. Thanks for the suggestions, though. At least I can get off the boat now.

Flying cold start mission on Supercarrier. All switches and procedures followed with wings folded. I pull plane to heat ramp behind catapult 2. I wait and wait and ground crew will not recognizes that I am waiting for direction to extend wings and pull forward to shuttle. Even if I pull up to shuttle and engage launch bar , crew still never recognizes that I am there and waiting for direction. What am I missing?

There's no place like home! _OK_ 4 wire at night. Took three passes, two bolters. Knees shook just like the real deal.
