But at least, we can fly co-op missions even with spawn-points and it work´s the same.
Another problem is that when we are flying about 5-10 minutes in the channel map often the game crashes and I have to restart Cliffs... :´( but I think this is for another thread...

Thanks for info.
Yes, please post your crash dumps in this thread to help the devs.

I did some research yesterday and found out that the same issue exists with all the servers which are up now. If you join a server running Fields or Islands map you can see a list of available planes immediately after clicking a flag (it is a list below flags you should use, not icons on the map).
On Repka#1 or ATAG running channel maps when you click a flag you can not see the list.
To see the list of available planes on channel maps you have to do the following:
1. click on a spawn point
2. create a useless plane that you do not need
3. hit ESC to get back to menu
At this point you can see the list of all available aircraft in the air and on the ground which you can enter by double-clicking the desired plane position.
I reported all the details on sukhoi.ru in the bug-thread. Hopefully it is fixed in the upcoming patch.
If you want to fly a big coop
now you can use this
temporary workaround: put one spawnpoint per side somewhere on the coop map, spawn some useless plane there like a TigerMoth and hit ESC for a list of planes. Then occupy your positions and type GO in chat when everyone is ready. Players aircraft must be put on Idle in FMB to prevent AI from taking off I think. Sure all this will be fixed in 1-2 patches.
Quick training coops can be flown on small maps which show list of planes upon selection a flag already now. Not sure if you can spawn simultaneously though if a host already pressed "Battle". Try selecting aircrafts and positions before the host press "Battle" by double-clicking the positions in the list/table. Then you should spawn into these positions simultaneously after the host pressed "Battle" hopefully. Please advise if it works this way.
ps. BTW you do not need to reload the map after all/most of planes are killed. You can use this ingame menu
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=25941 to reload just the planes of your coop into the map. You can ask someone with better knowledge of C# to fine tune it to your mission if you upload your mission in a separate thread with script request.
