Ah no, the missions are based on aircraft type, regardless of how many you have of that aircraft type.
So it doesn’t matter (except for passive income to your companies) how many agricultural versions of the h125 you have, the missions available are the same. But they cannot be flown with the agricultural version of the 500c.
It is decided by some kind of algorithm that generates new missions every couple of days (maybe??). But only if you actually fly some missions?? Not sure how it actually works.

But isn´t that only true for flying as an employee? With you own company you can select a mission of a certain type and then select the aircraft to do it with. Like with smal cargo - you only select the mission first, then select the aircraft that is available to you, and you can select all aircraft that can do small cargo. Same should work for Aggricultural Spraying. If not an employee, you select the mission, then the aircraft you want to use.

Ah, so as a employee you are dependant on what the algorithm offers you from time to time.
But the benefit of your own company is that you can always fly that mission and choose what aircraft you want to use?
I think you might be right, haven’t tested that yet.
I’m just testing this and it seems like unfortunately it is not as I though in my previous post.
But this is going to far off topic, so will probably create an extra topic to discuss how that works.
Edit,
actually, it does work as I mentioned.
I just bought a Cabri for flightseeing and wanted to see if I could do the one single available mission on Oahu with my Cabri. As employee, this mission is done with the H125. But with my Cabri the mission is not available. Then I bought a H125 and now the mission is available as freelancer too. So I got into the mission brief and then I tried to switch the helo, but it said that the Cabri doesn’t have to enough passenger seats for this mission.
So I guess, yes, as a freelancer you really are free to choose between available aircraft as long as they all fit the mission.
Theoretically yes. I havent seen it in any other way on my time in career mode. If you haye multiple valid aircraft for a specific mission type, you can choose between them. But you have to pay transfer fees depending on how far the choosen aircraft is away from the mission start airport. But the aircraft has to be VALID - meaning it has to have the capacity for instance. For Spraying I believe, all aircraft that just have a Spray System are VALID. For Passenger and Cargo Missions - there are different categories, like Small, Medium, VIP etc. Not every Passenger Aircraft is VALID for VIP for instance.
For those of you still wondering how the new Ag Nav System in the Cropdusting-Variant works, I made a short video tutorial on it. Although I made the video with the Cessna AgTruck, the Ag Nav works the exact same way on the helicopters:

Is anyone else having issues with the battery cart? I click the box and it’s not showing up.
The right cockpit door must be opened. The connector is in the cabin on the right seat. So open the right door.

Noticed that the Iran mission had 2 small helos that got downed - OH-6?
Not downed.
There were MH/AH-6 Little Birds in the C-130s that got stuck.

I purchased the 500C today, but I’m having an issue with a grinding engine noise in the cockpit that is really bothering me. It’s very dominant. When I watch YouTube videos of this heli, I don’t hear that sound at all. It feels as if this specific noise was mixed too loudly. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could get rid of it?
In the MSFS audio settings, there is an option to reduce the engine sound.
