AI helicopters not taking off vertically

[jaz85]

Since the latest update, Oct 22 DCS 2.9.21.16362, AI helicopters with wheeled landing gear are ignoring the "Prefer Take Off/Land vertically = on" Mission Editor option when taking off from airfields.  Rather, they are taxiing to the active runway and then making rolling take offs.  Prior to this latest update, the same helicopters with that setting enabled would take off vertically rather than taxi to the active.

Attached please find Caucasus vertical takeoff test.miz and .trk files.

Thank you.

hello. just a thought. have you edited the mission at all since the latest patch? sometimes a patch will change mission parameters and needs to be tweaked. to make it easy, just edit the bits / flights that are experiencing the issue. i suggest making a copy of your mission first.
