Hi! So I have a huge problem. After a counterattack on Drassen airport, Skyrider is gone! I can't find him anywhere, not in the house I found him first and I have no idea if this is a bug, if he got killed, or if I am doing something wrong.

Please help if you know anything about this, having to walk constantly is a huge pain in the ass.

Use the helicopter. He's with that.
This is the thing though, I can't do that anymore. I had used the helicopter before his disappearance following the attack, but I can't use it any longer. I can't select the grid and fly from it in the map screen, I can't click on the helicopter in the tactical view.

Is there something I am missing here or is it simply a really lame bug?

Thanks for your reply though!

You cannot use the helicopter in any area where you have not recaptured the SAM sites, and that includes the airport!
As previously stated I have used the helicopter before and the SAM site nearby is currently in my control. This isn't a problem about SAM sites.

Ok, fair enough. Well if you have the airport and the SAM sites back, then I can't think why you wouldn't be able use the helicopter. I tend not to use Skyrider very often, so I've never come across him going missing like this. I can't say if it's a bug or not, unfortunately.
Just out of curiosity, you said you were engaged in the Drassen Counterattack, does Skyrider dies in that attack or is there any automated battle in said attacks? Happens to me once, where i was auto the battle in B13, the airport since my merc was injured from previous attacks and sadly out of ammo so i though with 40 light blue militia would be able to fend off the attacks, since i had previously whittle down the attacking forces surrounding drassen.

Found out that after that im missing skyrider and my log did not register his death, after that heli is out but im managing with icecream truck and eventually hummer so no worries for me there.

Oh btw i played the 1.13 version though not the vanilla JA2.

I don't know if it was the official Drassen counterarrack or just a regular invasion, but when it happened my mercs weren't there because I was busy trying to retake a SAM site. I autoresolved it with militia, so you are probably right on the money when you say that Skyrider somehow died in that attack. My log did not register a death either so my best bet is that this is just some bug. Really annoying but not gamebreaking I guess.

Well yeah trus this could be some bug, anyhow if you manage to get the IceCream truck it would be better and cheaper to move around, though heli is faster but thats some additional challenge i'd say, just need a little revision on how you tackle the game now.
