Career cannot request IFR clearance, therefore cannot request pushback or do anything

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
After catering truck when you’re supposed to request IFR clearance, pressing Enter to continue does not request IFR. Doing it manually through the comm menu also does not work. If you press request IFR nothing happens, no mater how many times you click it.

Another possible scenario is you will request IFR and the ATC will reply with silence. Then they say “did you receive my last transmission?” even though they didn’t say anything. If you acknowledge the last transmission you reply with silence also and the mission cannot continue.

• Not at this exact spot but I’ve had the automatic ATC hang on me like this quite a few times at different places. It often clears up if I use the manual ATC panel to push forward but not always.
