A-10C - Incorrect rockets loaded?

[Mouse]

I noticed in DCS A-10C that many combat missions actually have the player's flight loaded with practice rockets rather than M151 rockets. I thought that perhaps this was a glitch I had induced in my own installation with some otherwise innocent LUA adjustments. However I have this same issue too in DCS World. I haven't found anything about this error here, so I thought I'd ask. It's easy to fix, but assuming the problem is not on my end, I'm surprised it's not been fixed in the official release.

Which combat missions? Campaign missions or scenarios? Both?

You sure it's practice ones and not M156 "Willie Pete" markers?

Scenarios only, it seems. I haven't found any campaign missions with the error in DCS World.

 

In the mission editor or planner, clicking on Loadout for an A-10C flight usually greets me with the pop-up window "Mission payload has not been saved. Save mission payload?" If I save this payload and look at it, it always has Mk1 practice rockets loaded on station 2. Even AI A-10C flights will have Mk1 practice rockets. The other weapons are fine, and they vary from mission to mission, but it's always the rockets. And yes, if you fly the mission, you will have practice rockets. That's how I discovered the problem.

 

Going down the list of A-10C single scenarios, it seems like they are all afflicted with this problem, except for CSAR. (I might have fixed that one and forgotten about it though.) Kashuri Gap is a good example. It has several A-10C flights all incorrectly loaded with Mk1 practice rockets.

 

It is not the only example though. Hideout, Defend Camp Yankee, Sunset Sierra and others all have Mk1 practice rockets loaded onto the A-10C flights.
