Ok I give up.  What's the secret to making AI helicopters work?  I know that with certain exceptions you need to use helos with landing gear, not skids, so that they can taxi to and from the runway for T/O and landing.  

I can make fixed wing AI work without problems.  But whenever I try to use a helicopter such as a CH-47, no dice, it doesn't show up.  Yet if I go into the aircraft_helo.txt file and swap that same CH-47 for any fixed wing aircraft in my folder, it shows up and works like AI should.  

So I'm thinking it may be a parking issue.  I've used the recomended parking radius from the AFCAD aircraft editor as well as the recomeded parking types and still no dice.  I've made a parking spot just for the helo and designated it MIL_CARGO with CH47 for the type.  Still nothing.

Any ideas??  What's the secret??
