fixed ATC does not turn on runway lights for helicopters

[some1]

I contact ATC and get inbound vectors. But ATC will turn on runway lighting only when tower has given permission to land. For helicopters, tower gives permission to land only when the aircraft is at the runway threshold. The result is you have to fly the whole approach in total darkness. 

There is a runway straight ahead....

Ahhhhh! Yeah, I got the same. Thought it was an error in the (Argo) campaign I'm flying. My issues are that I cannot contact ATC so they do not turn on the lights. And even landing on the runway won't help.
Hmmm, re-arm/re-fuel didn't work as well come to think of it.

If you can't even contact ATC then you have a different issue. Here I can talk to ATC, but it won't turn on the lights until I'm literally above the runway.

Well, then it might actually be the campaign. Gonna check in another mission.

Caucasus airports currently don't light up runways. The bug has been reported.

Oh so that's yet another issue.

Helicopters do not get "Confirm Landing" call from ATC until they are on top of the runway, so they don't even get the spotlights in 2.1.11.

In 2.1.11.21408, after the Inbound call I can see the blue taxiway lights, but no white runway lights. After the Confirm Landing call on final, the spotlights would be turnoed on, but still no white runaway border lights, or red runaway approach lights

Fixed in today's OB update.
