The CS forums aren't exactly the most friendly bunch, honestly.
As for the original post, are you saying your loading up a ground flight with the shuttle, and cannot start it up? That's easily solvable by one fact: It's not meant to take off.
Try slewing up into the air above the airport you wish to take off from (and at a good height, too; Try about 100,000 feet for a few minutes of flying). Think of the Orbiter as a giant brick trying to glide through the sky. It has no engines on re-entry, having used all of it's fuel during lift-off and for maneuvering in orbit.
