Trick to getting air assets to attack and RTB?

Hi Folks,

Finally getting up to speed on this platform. I modified a scenario to game out using different blue assets. It's the VN- RP one in the Spratlys, Westpac Battleset. I added a Burke to come in from the West and launched a Romeo with four Hellfires and LR tanks. The helo tracked and ID'd the Skunks and eventually they turned Red once Side ID was established. I tried launching at that point, but the allocation screen kept saying no illumination for the AGMs. Thinking it was a min range, sensor problem, I moved the helo out a couple of miles, went active on SS, tried again, no dice. Finally got to bingo state and okayed the staff message to RTB as soon as I got it. The helo made it all the way back, only to crash, with some sort of error saying the Burke wasn't an appropriate landing spot?! I read through the Air Ops tutorial again, no clues to what went wrong. Help please? Thanks!
