Cannot Airdrop RDU from remote Offensive Airport (Fearless Blue)

This are the problems that I faced with RDU: I create new RDU in a new offensive airport that I buid in an ally's country. (1) In the 'show landing forces' page, it shows the current position of my unit as within my country, even though the coordinate is in my ally's country.

(2) When I select the 'airdrop' option for my newly created Air Base Construction Unit (ABCU), it gives the following error:

Boarding

Elkton must be within a 100.00km range of an Offensive Military Airport before you can schedule an Airdrop.

The nearest is Chaos Military Airport in Kingdom of Dalmasca. The distance to that airport is 2,502.88km.

Please move Elkton to an airport.<!-/Quote-!>

This is clearly a glitch since I build the unit in an offensive airport in a foreign land. On top of that, players can't manually move the unit as suggested :P Hopefully the GM can rectify this problem.

Similar difficulty:
I want to drop one in a c3 which I am having a war with.
My mouse changes when in an area that my forces have not visited, and it won't click on such areas. It will drop on areas which I have visited, but then the message says that I can't drop it in my own country, Alekzander...
You know the areas which are colored orange...

Please try to rectify this too when you work on the above situation..

I have found a solution to this problem > i declared war on a second C3 and now when i ordered the air drops there was a drop down menu showing the two countries i am at war with. so i selected the one and it loaded the map of that country. I was then able to click on the map to select a Drop Zone.
