reported earlier Mi-8 can be spawned with weapons and no pylons at the same time [2.5.6.59625.1 OB]

[Dyk]

In SP, 2.5.6.59625.1 OB, the game is unable to enforce visibility of pylons on Mi-8 when livery says otherwise. Livery argument: 

 

custom_args = 
{
    [1000] = 1.0, -- pylons off
}

IS NOT suppressed by game in case weapons are equipped.

 

Default livery, weapons equipped, OK:

Only the livery was changed in ME and mission was reloaded. Mi-8 is then spawned without pylons, weapons levitating. Livery has the "pylon off" argument line, but I would expect it to be suppressed by ME and mainly by presence of weapons. (I think it used to be so.)

Can someone please verify? Thanks

Yes, I did this last night in a MP game. Spawned at FARP, removed pylons then added gun pods. Guns didn't work, but they were still floating alongside the chopper.

If I start in an Mi-8 that doesn't have weapon pylons, and then rearm and add some rockets etc, the weapons show on the external model but the pylons themselves are invisible. Has anyone else got this issue?

Edit: Sorry my mistake, I see this is already reported.

This bug is still present as of DCS 2.7.14.23966 Open Beta

 

If you spawn Mi8 without Pylons and then try to add weapons, it adds pylons for 1 second, then they disappear when ground crew confirms rearming.

If you remove pylons via ground crew and then want to add weapons back same thing happens.
