I´ll check the extension... and verify the Steam folder...

Side switching should be also enabled in difficulty settings to make side flags clickable in the menu.

Well... I made my missions in FMB without any premade missions, from scratch.... althought I´ll verify if any aircraft has checked as player.

Thank you for your answers.

Yes, my mission is a simple Spawn point and some enemy Bombers with escort. My Squadron is still flying 1946 and is slowly migrating to Cliffs. These missions are for encourage them and begin to train together.
I can´t upload the mission now, but next post I´ll try it.

Ahh, if it has a Spawnpoint then it is not pure 100% old-style coop. I wonder if clients can spawn without spawnpoints when you host. As you can see others have this issue. I am trying to figure out what can be wrong in order to isolate the problem and inform the devs if necessary.

Then you should spawn into these positions simultaneously after the host pressed "Battle" hopefully. Please advise if it works this way.

Well... yesterday we try it and we can spawn only if the host has pressed "battle". Then the flags appears on the screen.
If the map is one of the "small" , the aircraft´s list appears and we can select and fly by double clicking on the position.
If the map is the Channel map then in server aircraft list is available but the client aircraft list is empty. Now the clients have to create an aircraft on a spawn point as you said and esc to show the aircrafts on the list and select them.
Once a client has been shoot down, can go back to the flag´s menu and if there are any other aircraft available (not flying by another client) then he can choose it and refly.
If one client join to the server, can show the aircraft list with the spawn method and join the battle.

We will continue testing with this method to try it with other maps.

@ Pato Salvaje
Thank you for all the detailed information.
It is very strange that the issue is map-related.

Today I was testing a mission with spawn-areas on a Steppe map and I could not change the aircraft by just clicking a spawn-area. I had to click on my side's flag again every time I wanted to create a new aircraft. Never happened to me before. All difficulty settings were correct (allowed side and plane switching, etc.)

Have you try it with other maps?...

We´ll made some tests about this on Steppe and Scimitar map´s next day.

Yes, it turns out it happens on all maps but for host only Host has to click a flag first to change and aircraft. Probably this is the reason aircrafts lists show only to hosts in coops.

Please try coops again with the new patch taking into account this information http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=27190
