Give me a list of helicopters you want to spawn and i can add their classnames
to the code and then update the mission.

I was teying to spawn the ka-52 and whatnot. However, the rhs option is just not visible on the spawn sign. Pooks, usaf, and firewills spawn option is visible thoug on the sign?

Which Russian Planes are you looking for?
There are only these in the code:
"mig15bis_opfor","mig15bis_opfor_red","Su22_opfor","I_Test_Plane_01_F",
"mig15bis_green","Su22_green"
