ATC Mission 1

[Dr4gis]

Hey guys, I don't know what I am doing wrong.

On the first mission I start the APU, get startup clearance via F10 menu, start the rest, get taxi clearance via F10 menu, then I "automatically" request and get takeoff clearance while still taxiing, the F10 option os gone after that. After take off ATC then calls me out for violating procedures. Radios are tunes correctly, F10 menu is being used as long as possible. Rest of the mission works perfectly well. Any hints?

Thanks and kind regards

Are you sure you are selecting the F10 sub menu, not the F5 ATC sub menu, it's a common error.  Make sure you are settimg the radios to the frequencies in the kneeboards/pdf briefing, don't use the default DCS freqs as everything is customised in this campaign.

Yes, I am sure. I double checked on that. On the frequencies in regards to the kneeboard too. Clearances for startup and taxi worked. The call and answer for takeoff happened without me doing anything though, I was going to do this when holding short of the runway as I was advised. 

I also retried it, happened the same way so was reproduceable.

 

Edit: I tried a third time now, same result. ATC call for T/O clearance happens without me doing it by any menu. Violation call comes after takeoff. Track file is attached, hope this helps.

Well you had me stumped there for a while lol!  I watched the track and you did everything by the book, correct radio and comms usage, I was puzzled by why you were getting the auto takeoff message, as per the triggers that would be an impossibility.

So took control of the track and as I was taxiing I realized what had happened, the takeoff clearance wasn't for you, it's for Gunman 1-1 (you are 2-1).  The F10 option for you will be added as you approach the hold short.

Thanks, will recheck!
