Task 1 - No response when calling ground crew to eject for takeoff

[Tomcat7320]

I taxi to carrier ejection position #3 as instructed by the ground crew after completing a cold start, but after hooking up the tow bar and saluting (SHIFT+U) there is no response from the ground crew, so I can't eject from the carrier for takeoff. What should I do to solve this problem?

Turn your exterior lights on when hooked up to the catapult, that is the launch signal at night.

Set the switches on your right console to on prior to taxiing to the catapult (I always switch everything on, bright, flash), but keep exterior lights off via the master lights toggle switch until you are hooked up and ready to go. Once you are ready to launch, use the master toggle to turn lights on. That should initiate the launch sequence.

当连接到弹射器时打开外部灯，这是夜间的发射信号。

在滑行到弹射器之前，将右控制台上的开关设置为打开（我总是打开所有东西，明亮，闪烁），但通过主灯切换开关保持外部灯关闭，直到您连接好并准备好出发。准备好启动后，使用 master toggle 打开灯。这应该会启动启动序列。

Thank you, the problem was solved when I turned on the lights. I mistakenly took the night ejection signal as a salute...

或者只使用 salute 命令，而不是 radio 菜单项

Thanks, everything got fixed when I switched lights, maybe I should have read the manual more!
