I was using one of the LW&A versions yes, the latest I think, with the modified helo behavior. I haven't tried the misison with the stock yet.
But at the time where my radar was failing me I had already recovered my helo and put it back into the hanger (to protect it from SAMs).
What's also curious about this particular scenario was that the helo, once put back into its housing, kept trying ready itself.... this probably is a completely unrelated bug, but was a curiousity nonetheless. I would assign the helo to Alert 30, but after a while is would reassign *itself* to alert status 15 and then 5. Once put back at 30, it did it again and automatically readied itself to Alert 5...

To tell the truth, I don't know what's going on with this engine...
