Landing at FARP, wrong helipad?

[CE_Mikemonster]

I posted this in another thread in General Discussion but nobody commented, so I thought i'd try in here as it might be a bug.

 

I started on a FARP in a campaign mission, and upon returning landed on the 'wrong one' of two helipads (the one my wingie started on).

 

My reasoning was that there were two, and my wingman was behind me, so I approached into the wind and landed at the 'forward' one, thinking he'd land on the other (being behind me and all).

 

Strangely enough he overflew ahead of me and hovered (until I quit the mission).

 

The place he hovered meant that if I were on the 'correct' pad (that I took off from) his position (in relation to me) would have been above the other helipad.

 

Any info? As far as i'm aware ATC don't give a specific pad to each chopper.

Did you issue commands to your wingmen to return to base? Maybee they are waiting for you to take off again?

Good point, I did not. If I do command him to RTB will I have to follow him in or will he land in formation with me?

 

I was assuming that asking permission to land was for my element, or whatever the Russians call it.
