Respawning Aircraft do not consider props when calculating height.
New, NormalPublic

Description

Obviously, when placed or spawned at altitude, aircraft spawn with their engines on at low thrust. However, they only consider height ATL, and do not check if there is a solid object below them, meaning that aircraft spawning or respawning on the roof of a tall building, offshore platform, dock, certain roadways, etc spawn with their engines on despite being supported. Annoying when you have rooftop helipads generating a lot of noise, and deal-breaking when you have jets throwing themselves off of seaborne runways.
