SU-33 Instant Action Cold and Dark Can't take off

[Pmedic548]

I'm new to DCS and slowly learning the different aspects and aircraft. I'm now selecting the SU-33 Mission, "Instant Action-Cold and Dark" Persian Gulf map, cold start on an aircraft carrier.

I receive permission from ATC to start the aircraft, and after I start I don't get permission to takeoff. Nor do I see the AI aircraft positioned in front of the ski ramp, unfold their wings or take off. I've accelerated time (thinking that it might take a few min for the AI aircraft to take off) but nothing happens.

What steps, if any do I need to take to start the mission?

Thanks

The ATC is bugged sometimes. Just take off and you're good.
