Mission 2, Biff doesn't take off

Flew mission 2, it wasn't until 3/4 into training I didn't notice he wasn't even with me, so looked at F10 and he was still in his parking area.

I had his voiceover instructing me the whole time, then we got to Moapa where we contacted approach. Last transmission was approach's telling me to descend to 5000. I didn't get any notification to tune to tower so did so at my own around 5miles like in the M2k campaign. I landed, didn't get a prompt to tune to ground so did so on my own and taxied back to my starting location and shut down.

As I pulled in, I got a 'one is taxing out' from Kermit. No mission complete/success notification, so shut down on my own and quit, got result of 50.

Best guess is I somehow missed a trigger while taxiing out that was supposed to have Biff follow me out? 

Really looking forward to mission 3! Learned a bunch in the first two lessons so far. Great campaign.

Something similar happened to me on Mission 4. For some reason Biff just held short of the runway after I'd taken off. I'd almost got to Moapa before I noticed he wasn't with me.

I ended up circling back towards Nellis and once I got close enough his takeoff was triggered and the mission continued as normal.

There are some weird things going on ocassionally with Nellis and AI taxiing, this also haunts my M-2000C Red Flag campaign. Can't really give any pointers as these appear to be random, perhaps as a general rule try to wait for Biff to start taxiing and keep him close to yourself, if need be make a circle after takeoff to make sure he is airborne too, if he isn't it could break some triggers. Keep me posted please about any further abnormalities!

I noticed that in Mission 1 it took Biff forever to get airborne. I was about 5 miles from the Turn waypoint when I noticed he had just taken off. Cut the power and orbited at 190 KIAS until he caught up.

I also had this issue in Mission 2.  Biff never moved from his parking spot at all in fact.  Also encountered a second issue when coming in to land, after approach told me to descend to 5000ft there were no more radio messages or triggers and I didn't get a successful mission state upon landing.
