Well, now that AR was officially updated, I decided to actually look at it, and I found out that my question was quite valid: I asked what kind of mods you were using, not how many.
This question is very important, for the overall bug report, and here is what I found:
Aside of the aforementioned Asphalt Roads, you're also using Alien Biomes (correct me if I'm wrong), and one of the things that it provides is a whole lot of tiles. Together with required core tiles, it quickly climbs to 199. And given that AR also adds a lot of tiles (~70), quite a few issues arise from that.
The Factorio's engine limitation only allows 255 tiles. That's not something we (the modders) can address, but it has to be addressed by Wube.
AB re-indexes the list of tiles, but in doing so, it prioritizes the ones from the same developer (SE, AAI, etc). The rest are basically fighting for the remaining slots. And with AR installed, the number of tiles gets over the limit, and, in short, AR doesn't work as it should either. Given the comment you posted on AR discussion, you stumbled on this yourself:
Just to let you know OwnlyMe the lane markers don't work.
Now, what does that have to do with the helicopter mod? Well, simple: The helipad creates its own tile, but with AB and AR installed, that helipad tile is out of bound, and therefore excluded from the list of the tiles.
And... Is there a solution to this? Yes. No. Maybe.
1) We could ask Wube to fix the tile limitation thing, but since this is an engine thing, we shouldn't get our hopes too high. (Already been asked and addressed by them: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=56619 )
2) We could ask Earendel to reduce the number of tiles in AB (which won't happen)
3) We could ask Earendel to add the helipad tile to the list of priority tiles (but that won't fix your AR issue). In the meantime, you can fix it yourself, by adding the priority part itself (as shown here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/400025099861753856/686651301849071676/unknown.png ) (within Alien Biomes)
4) Create your own helipads, and don't rely on the one provided in this mod
5) Use less mods. With this limitation, AB and AR will never work hand-in-hand, forget anything else that's added to it...
