OK. It sounds like you have advanced engine management enabled. This means that if you throttle up before your oil temperature reaches a certain point, you will damage the engine. This is not a bug, it is in fact something that will happen in real life, although in many cases, at least with US aircraft, the crew chief would have already "run up" the engine before the pilot jumped into the cockpit.
If it bugs you, disable it in JSGME.
To get onto the catapult, after your engine is warm, carefully taxi to within a couple of feet of the catapult. Then set your chocks. If you've done it properly, your plane will "jump" into position on the cat. Run the throttle up, set flaps and trim for takeoff and hit "chocks" again to launch.
As far as what loadouts will work, you're probably going to have to experiment.
