Not strictly a bug, but annoying nonetheless.

So I was playing msn 3, Requested takeoff countless times waiting on the taxy side A hold short line (the runway boundary line) and red lights. Al Minhad ATC would not give me clearance for TO until I crossed it and requested clearance again, at which point Tower answered and gave me clearance. 

In my understanding (at least when I trained for my PPL) you ask and wait clearance before crossing the line, not afterwards as, once you cross, you are on the runway already and you need clearance to do that. 

Seems to me like a script/trigger issue, but it ate 4 of my minutes while I was sitting there trying to figure out why Tower would suddenly stop responding to me.

Noted and thanks for the feedback. There's a few design decisions I made that in hindsight show a little naivety in my early mission design.  Future missions and campaigns have these leanings very much in mind.

That was msn 4 "downtown". Sorry, seems like I can't count? 
Other than the minor stuff, I'm thoroughly enjoying the campaign so far! Well done!
