I have tested a few things in the first tutorial and as mentioned before RC is contacting ground before I request push. Last night I loaded again and chosse a female copilot to besure I had the comms. If you look a t the fisrt tutorial it shows the first screen to have a choice of wx or clr. I choose wx then clr. My next screen however does not have a pus choice only ground which rc contacts as soon as I ack the clr.

co-pilot doesn't do the push request, she basically responds to controllers, and changes controllers.when you engage her on the ground, she goes through each of the menus, choosing the number 1 option, essentially.if you need a push and start, don't hand over the comms until you are taxiing to the runway, for instancejd

Sorry if I confused you, I choose a female voice so the I was sure that I had the comm and not the copilot. I also tried one time with her handling the comms and noticed the difference. I think the strangest thisn is that when I have the comms the push choice is not presented to me, simply ground.

After recieving your clearance are you selecting 7-Acknowledge or 1-Acknowledge and contact? If you select 1 you will acknowledge the clearance and then automatically contact ground for taxi. I normally acknowledge only then complete the cockpit preperation, request push and start if required and then call ground for taxi. You can't do this if you "acknowledge and contact."- Jonathan

and you sure don't want to ack and contact while on arrival tower after landing :-)

Thanks, you are correct. I played around and figured out what I was doing wrong. Good to be validated though.
