how to add extra flares to helis?

How should one add extra flares to helicopters?

[zulu1 145]

If the heli uses standard flares and not something custom these are the class names:

 

Weapon: FlareLauncher

Magazine: FlareLauncherMag

Ammo: FlareLauncherAmmo

 

By putting the line below in the heli initialization field it should add more flares:

 

this addmagazine "FlareLauncherMag"

I have placed this code in the init field of helis to add flares -

this addweapon "CMFlareLauncher";this addmagazine "120Rnd_CMFlareMagazine";

 

but in some helicopters this adds flares to heli crew chief or heli gunships gunner, not the pilots position, so can one add flares to pilots position/control only?

Here is code to add extra flares to all types of helicopters (gunships & transport) of any side (eg.civilian/blufor/opfor) to pilots seat in helicopter.

this addweapon "CMFlareLauncher";this addMagazineTurret ["120Rnd_CMFlareMagazine",[-1]];

 

This code also adds extra flares to fighter & transport aircraft as well as aircraft which are missing flares.
