Requesting Engine Start Up

[Ripcord]

OK, now I am still learning this thing and anytime something doesn't work right, I always suspect Operator Error. Help me understanding what I might be doing wrong that causes this:

 

Starting up on the ramp at Kutaisi, following my handy checklist, and I contact the tower to request Engine Start. He tells me negative. Why not?

 

I'm getting thru to him on the radio, since I am getting a response, so that's not the problem. When I start anyway, I still get the radio menu prompt to request taxi -- which is granted. And when I get to the hold short line at the runway, I get permission to take off. Just that engine start, can't understand why they don't allow me to do that.

 

There are a couple AI jets going by, could that be the problem?

I remember that in version 1.0.0.8 the ATC would always deny permission to start engines in the Smerch hunt mission; I reckon that the ATC should only deny permission if the weather conditions are very poor so this should be a bug.

As a test you could try to edit the mission and remove all bad weather and all wind, just to see if the ATC gives you permission.

Good idea, I will try that, thanks BR.

 

I will also try just using 1.1.0.9, maybe the problem just went away.
