Invisible FARP: AI Helicopter doesn't land

[AstonMartinDBS]

How can I force an AI Helicopter to land on an invisible FARP?

In the attached sample mission I've placed an AI Huey which should land on an invisible FARP. But instead of landing on the FARP the AI Huey is heading to the nearest Airport (= Tiblisi).

Hi, you have 2 problems here with your FARP : some tires are directly on the "runway", and makes landing impossible and helo re-route (I removed I think 4 of them to free it), and then the high structure (antenna) is too close to FARP and makes the helo to fail and retry on final (I moved it enough to allow landing).

EDIT : for the tires issue, just move the FARP icon so it is centered on a square pattern of tires.

Thanks for the hints @toutenglisse!

I've placed the tires based on the four platforms of a standard FARP because I expected that the invisible FARP has equal parking layout as the standard one.

Does the invisible FARP provide only a single parking slot at its center (which is indicated by the FARP icon)?

For what I can see yes - I mean the AI helo does land exactly on the FARP icon. Has to be tested what happens with a group of AI helos.

Yes, it works! And it works even with a group of four helicopters, if you place four invisible FARPS. Thanks again @toutenglisse for your analysis.

As far as I observed, each invisible FARP has a single landing platform. The distance from the communication tower to the closest FARP center has to be at least ~1250 ft that an AI helicopter can land without difficulty.
