I wonder if you can practice rampstart without going to campaign mode. When I try to click "ramp start" box in -take off- practice mission(The screen where you have three boxes to choose ramp,taxi,runway) it just wont select it I can only choose beetween taxiing and on-runway. And sometimes it wont let me rampstart in campaign mode either

You have to select the ramp start 25 minutes before take off. So if the take off time is 1500 you need to select ramp start prior to 1435. Taxi requires 2 minutes prior to take off.

The take off practice mission should allow you to ramp start, I can in mine.
Check to make sure your avionics is not in simple mode. This will prevent you from doing a ramp start.

The best way is get the Flash ramp start programme. Thats what I used and after a week I no longer require a checklist.

For some reason I cant ramp start in my traning missions either......the option is there but when I move the cursor over it, it does not highlight green or select!! So when the timer runs out im only left with the taxi and takeoff option.

Im using a straight out the box version of the game.....is this a bug and I need to patch to get rid of it?

Or do i have to formally complete the other training missions before I can progress further?

You have to patch up. The out of box version didn't allow enough time to complete a ramp start.
