It’s related to the beta SU5 according the new color of the visualisations, you have to post here:

Sim Update 5 Beta | MSFS 2024

Probably on the Traffic category ?

[DementedCorn327]

Reported issue is about “passive” (static) helicopter. If OP is using SU5 Beta and able to replicate this issue with a base airport and static helicopter (having Parked Aircraft Quantity option enabled) then yes they could report it in the Sim Update 7 Beta | MSFS 2024 > Scenery & Airports category. This is not related to Live Traffic.
If issue only happens when using custom airport, then report should be done in the dev support forums.
