Noob question: missions don't get underway?

[burncpt]

Hi all,

 

     I'm relatively new to DCS but have spent a lot of time flying around and practising gunnery in the warbirds. I tried a couple of the basic missions that are baked in, like the bomber escort (not sure with which module, Channel map I think)? 

Most of the mission briefs state something like "start to taxi on ground crew saying "chocks away"" but after starting up you just sit there waiting for minutes on end while nothing happens with all your flight buddies next to you engines running. If I do try to taxi they just sit there for ever.

Am I missing a key element of mission protocol?

 

Cheers
