Mk84s appear floating when mounted after re-arm, after firing off AIM-7 Sparrows.

I first noticed this when playing online where after an air to air sortie, I rearmed with Mk84s and noticed the pylons were mounted incorrectly.

I tried to recreate this offline, but usually it worked correctly. After some quick testing, I found a way to reproduce most of the problem.

My steps were as follows:

1. In the mission editor, place down an airstart F-14A with 4 underbelly Sparrows
2. Put a target at front to lock and shoot at
3. Fire off all the Sparrows at the target
4. Land and do a Ground Crew -> Rearm to replace the Sparrows with Mk84s
5. After doing this, the two rear Mk84s are mounted incorrectly

Attached is both a track of the mission, and the mission itself. I've also uploaded a video of myself doing the above steps.

Thank you, this is a known issue rearming after aim7s, the pylons are missing.

Hello Mike. Just thought I'd let you know it's not specific to the AIM-7s. I was able to reproduce this bug simply by removing the 3 and 6 pylons then attempting to rearm right after. Simply put the pylons don't re-equip after you remove them symmetrically on the center fuselage pylons for any reason, whether that be from you equipping sparrows or from removing all pylons.

This is July 3rd version 2.7.15

It happens whenever you load anything that requires the pallets after removing the pallets.
