Falling helicopters when entering menu

Description

While flying in arma 3 helicopters, everytime i enter a menu to change something such as, audio sound or video settings, the aircraft seems to loose all of its lift and it just looses altitude and i have to quickly get out of the menu and push the throttle again. If i do not exit the menu's the aircraft will collide into the ground. this has happened to me in every version of the game.

This also happens when you enter a console in the action menu, such as acre or a view distance script etc.

it seems to be when direct input towards the aircraft is interrupted.

This also happens online if you try to type, worse yet this has been present since operation arrowhead! It is very annoying, doing any of these basicly zeroes your controls so you lose lift.

Doesn't the helicopter autorotate?

Arma 2 no but operation arrowhead yes. It's...imagine that you get ready to do something and your collective immediately dumps to 0, pushing the aircraft down or smashing it into the ground.

ahh okay well basically lets say i want to adjust my view distance so i go into my settings the collective drops and the aircraft just falls.

This is a relation to the menu interaction and not auto rotation. the chopper fly's fine but when using a menu whether its the arma 3 menu or something in the action menu such as acre, the aircraft just calls zero collective rather than just holding the collective where i had it before entering the menu
