Planes Disappeared from My Created Portal Games

[Semper Fight 0311]

I am unsure if it is due to the patch, but there was a patch today.
I have a bunch of Portal games saved. They almost all have air vehicles in them. Today, I tested every one of my portal games that previously had planes and helos, and I can't choose them, nor do they show up in the list of vehicles to spawn into. I checked the portal saves on EA though I know i've not altered them in any way. The vehicles ARE checked as they were, to be spawned.

Edited to Add: The selection to spawn was set to you Deploy Menu Only. I am going to try to set it to call-ins, and on-map, to see if that makes a difference. Maybe they changed something?

Update: It seems that they have either removed planes from some maps, or they bugged something with those maps. The Bulge map no longer has the 1942 planes, yet they are still in other maps, such as El Alamein. I can also confirm the same for the portal games I have created where I chose 2042 troops, and some of those maps are without planes and helos as well. I haven't tested every conceivable combination, but in general it seems that some maps simply no longer have Air in them, regardless of the troop type, or air type set-up for portal maps.

This really sucks. And knowing DICE this might never be fixed because no one else probably plays Portal like we do. Everyone else just make quick XP servers. It was the patch at that time because I remember playing the game the night before the patch and no problem using air vehicles at all.

Personally, I enjoy running around solo, or with a friend or two, flying, shooting, killing bots, etc. Sometimes you just want to relax, and kill AI. The same maps missing Air Vehicles, definitely had them in those maps prior to the patch directly before they disappeared (as stated in my original post). One annoyance is that no matter how many settings i've tweaked in the portal server basic settings, and even the "editor," the game seems to refuse to place human players on the same team, and prefers to just throw them back and forth between teams. This seems like a basic feature that shouldn't need to be an issue. I've gone through MANY hours using the basic settings, and even watched many videos on how to "code" the editor to do what I want, but the game seems to ignore the directives given.
I was a HUGE fan of BF4 (best BF in my opinion, to date), and played it well beyond the amount of hours one might consider "sane." I like BF2042 as well. However, the company seems to be less than concerned about some of the basic bugs, and issues, some mentioned above, some not. This truly causes me to not want to bother with their future "BF" titles.
But...hey, to each their own...just thought i'd expound on my original comment.

Has anyone figured out the fix?
I know it's broken for everything but air superiority

Not to my knowledge....It seems they (Game Devs) don't care...

I don't think they ever did, or we wouldn't have this pile of poo.

Logical point...
