Sometimes during the VCR files, the fighters fly right past...

Sometimes during the VCR files, the fighters fly right past their target and don't appear to fire. I thought it was a bug in the Simulator. But now I'm seeing it in actual games too. Is it really a bug, and something that needs addressed?

I think its a visual bug and not a combat bug.

So the combat is not effected, just how you view it.

I think someone had the theory that it gets worse if you rush through the VCR's before they are ended.

I get them all the time and don't think its a problem.

Try the Super Refit mission on your VCR player

I have just looked at a set of 4 VCR's. If I jump to the second VCR before I see the explosion of the ship the next battle can have the fighters keeping on going. But if I exit the VCR's and go back in and wait for the explosion at the end of each combat the VCR recording is fixed.

So if you want to watch the battle of the Carrier taking out your SB's in the full VCR you have to watch that VCR of the Carrier destroying the freighter in orbit right to the very end.

I get the feeling that the actual result determination is sound, just a little bug in the graphics. But I wasn't sure.
