[SU11] Spawn Helicopter as AI?

I wanted to test out the new Helicopters as possible AI objects, but it seems spawning them via AICreateNonATCAircraft is not possible. When adding the 407 or the G2 i always end up with a Exception 22.

Hi @FlyingRaccoon. Is this something that is coming in the future? Not having AI helicopters is breaking some of our scenarios and while I understand the flight routing and taxi aspects may not be ready, being able to spawn and move them would still be beneficial.

I can confirm this, too: exception 22 „creation failed“. At least let us create the AI helicopter object and control it ourselves (via SimConnect). Keyword: formation flight replay.


Wouldn‘t that be possible? To simply create the model?
