[DCS ISSUE] Loadout preview not showing phoenix pylons if rearming after loadouts that do not include them

[JohnnyHo]

I have my DCS updated to the latest OB version. As you can see on the screenshot, the bombs still float around the aircraft pylon on the mission editor.

Working fine for me earlier, have you tried a repair?

[IronMike]

Thank you. I rechecked and looked fine, too. Maybe the install was faulty, or there is a version mismatch. You have to be on Open Beta, to state the obvious, and I would also recommend running a repair.

On your screenshot there are no Phoenix rails, which are needed afaik.

I have deleted the UnitPayloads folder under the f-14 folder and have ran a repair, but the problem still exist. The pylon disappear when I swith the payload without hoenix rails to the payload with phoenix rails(i.e switch from aim-7 to aim-54 or bombs) . The pylon didnt show up in mission editor, but they did show up when I begin the mission and start flying.

Yeah this looks like a ME preview issue. If it's fine in game then I don't see this is too big of a deal.

Thank you Johnny, I see. We'll take a look, despite it being just a preview issue, still ugly though. Thanks again.

I noticed the ME loadout thing pre-patch. If you remove the phoenix pylons, and try to re-add them they wouldn't come back on. You had to reload the AIM-54 and just remove the payload only.

[IronMike]

We checked, this is unfortunately an issue in the Mission Editor, and cannot be fixed on our side. Due to the nature of it being purely cosmetic, only under certain circumstances, only in the loadout menu preview, the priority for this will likely be extremely low.

doesnt happen only in ME previews.

 

reloading does this too

 

[b1n4ry]

can confirm, also the phoenix missiles are missing the rail after reload.

 

How to reproduce:

Spawn in a f14, with mak79

rearm a loadout without mak79 (e.g. 4x Aim7 on Stations 3-6)

rearm a loadout with mak79 (e.g. phoenixes or mk20s)

 

This is also reproducible in the ME preview, by following the above steps.

@IronMike can you recreate the problem with those instructions? (sorry for tagging, but i though this might get overseen because it is labeled as DCS Issue)
