Helicopter crosses the mountains

Hi,

When a helicopter encounters a mountain whose summit is greater than the maximum altitude of flight, it crosses the mountain instead of bypassing it.
In the backup, a Mi-17 (Max Altitude of 4877m) flies at -292m AGL, the mountain is more than 5000m high.

I wonder if this problem has been fixed . Cause I ran the attached scenario on the .18 version , the AGL is still negative.

Bump.

It is still happening.

There also a fuse error with the save above running it with B1728.

Not sure it is a diffferent problem to create a new thread.

Interesting case. IRL the ground effect can indeed help helicopters fly at barometric altitudes they would otherwise not be able to, but of course there is a limit to it.
