I modified a stock mission in BS2 putting a FARP helipad in the empty country side near an airfield. Just want to practice night landings. FARP has an ATC truck unit, Fuel Truck unit, Ground Power truck unit and a regular military truck. They are all the same side as my KA-50 (RED). I get the FARP frequency on the ATC channels. I tell ATC at the FARP I'm inbound. They say I'm in sight. Yet no FARP lights come on when I'm near the FARP.
Or does this feature only work when you START from a FARP at night in your KA-50 when you communicate with ground crew? Is there a minimum distance the support trucks have to be from the helipad?
I did a forum search and I couldn't find anything except items that I know about (Radio frequency, number and types of ground units around FARPS).
TIA.

Solved it
The Ground unit that needs to supply power has to be a STATIC OBJECT. I was using the truck from the VEHICLE GROUP. Which didn't work.
Everything lit up once I radioed in.

Nailed the landing FWIW with a Saitek AV8R-01 and a Saitek Quadrant as my collective and throttle.
