Also, there is no real 'bug' here. The only reason you can 'fly' particular (no cockpit) AI planes online is because the IL-2 exe has been hacked and modded. This 'feature' is actually an unauthorized 'mod' and to say that there is a 'bug' involved because the 'feature' does not perform up to your standards is stretching the issue quite a bit.
I suspect you are new to IL-2. I suggest a little more patience and investigation before posting 'bug' reports. This game has been around for over 10 years and the community is well aware of most of the serious issues.
Welcome to IL-2.

Actually, even before modding, you could put the internal code name for an aircraft in the Homebase section of a .mis file and be able to select that aircraft and fly it. We use that feature on UK-Dedicated on some scenarios to fly heavy bombers (B-17s for example) and have done so for many many years.
It's a bug but its a beneficial one in the right circumstances. This one has proved useful and I'm pretty glad it exists. We try and put instructions on the briefing of any scenario that uses that so that players are aware (if they RTFM).
