Hi guys

I am trying to create a mission using the Cup Russian faction however I cannot Get it to work. I place under the "Overide factions" tab CUP_O_RU - in the Military commander and military placement tabs and under the drop down boxes i have left the faction to none. But when i start the mission i get errors coming up and they spawn as OPfor soldiers. This must be something silly i am doing wrong but i just cannot figure it out.

I know the 2nd picture is a German Faction entered but I was just trying out various factions to see if they work. My mods are all up to date via the steam workshop

I hope what i put makes sense

I get the same results putting CUP_O_RU. I tried putting CUP_O_RU- in because that was how it was listed under the faction names http://alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Factions . Like I said I have tried both and always spawns opfor and not russians

I tried adding CUP_O_RU_ALIVE but again. No joy. Thanks for replying :)

I got it working!! The weirdest of things. The rectangular box which the russians were supposed to spawn in I put in as Opfor red. By changing the colour to normal red the Russian factions now spawn in correctly,.

I just used CUP_O_RU. Strange. Different question now. Is there a way i can select where the helicopters and planes spawn that I use for cas and transport? Im creating a mission on the Lingor map on a Airbase. However the planes and choppers spawn in among the trees and 1 of the choppers blow up on spawn lol.

Excellent. Many thanks for all your help. Its been appreciated :)
