Super Carrier Pilot Quals

[Habu_69]

When I launch from the SC and recover, then taxi to a cat for another launch, the flight deck crew just stands around picking their . . . noses and adjusting their packages. The only way I have been able to get their attention is to taxi PAST the shuttle, but then OC I am way out of position to launch. Anyone know how to the the deck apes to do their job for a second launch?

Comms menu, ground crew, request launch. Took me a bit to find that too.

Hmmm. Yes, I tried Ground Crew/Request Launch with no joy. Will try again.

Second trial: yeah, it works.

I think you need to be near enough a cat that they can tell which one you want to use. Just a guess though. I really wish the LSO understood the difference between a bolter and a touch and go... I'd like to know what my pass grade actually was... grading it a bolter when I had the hook up seems unfair ;).

 

I just discovered the Airboss script though, which seems very promising!

Traffic incoming / and just close traffic seems to stop crews also, once in a while. In particular 3, but all cats seem intermittently not wanting to cooperate. Someone also clicking 'ball' will stop random crews randomly I think I noticed.

You'll have to wait, request, check incoming and circling traffic, and/or start taxi around so to trigger the crews back on. With many on the deck and circling planes I avoid cat 3 (and 4).
