SPPU gun pod rounds vanish before reaching target

[Reuben762]

:helpsmilie:So, I get all 4 gun pods set up and ready to go. I have the target truck or infantry lined up in my Mercury pod. And almost every time, no matter what mode (GNPD, tracking) or (ALL, non-tracking), as soon as I get LA cue letting me know I'm in range, soon after that I squeeze off either a cut burst or a longer uncut burst and then... no impact. You can often hear the rounds impacting, but don't see them. Spot on accurate line up and firing, the tracers even arc right toward the target. I watched the replay, and both in the LTV screen and up close watching the target, you can see the 23mm HE rounds just do a little air burst all up around the air space of the target on the ground, it looks much like the graphical effect of something that hits the ground but doesn't explode - except it's happening in mid-air. :joystick:

 

Does anyone know a way to fix this? Or ED, can you fix this bug? I'd really like to get my gun pod on for these rapid direct attack missions. :(

Got a track??

[Reuben762]

Yeah, just a minute, I'll crank one out and attach it in the next post.

Ok, here is the track. I approach some trucks, and while in ALL mode with the four gun pods, I have a truck in my LTV, and you can see in the LTV the little air bursts. Sometimes, rarely, it will actually work and the rounds actually impact - seemingly when I get much closer. In the track when I did it and when I play it, the truck never actually gets hit.

Also, just as an additional note, during the debriefing in the event list it shows all the 23mm HE shells that I fired as originating from a "Building". That's of course incorrect. They originated from the Su-25T that I was flying. I know the focus is on A10C and future projects but this is a blatantly obvious problem with the core software.
