Never seen this. Did you change from stock effects?

My experience is that add on gun effects just lag up CFS2 during missions. Remove them and go back to stock and report back.

That is an annoying symptom that came with Cfs-2 , Gun run on , has no bearing on which Fx display you use , It,s a damage result , hardcoded in game , There is also an entrée from mission file , that will show the effect , gun related , Bear Cat posted the only Temp soloution ,, Look in the Dp -- Armour section -- for Machine Gun and Cannon values eg 345 rated armour --and change those to 1200 ,
that delays the hardcoded effect,s, You can imagine 2 or 3 aircraft damaged flying around all shooting at nothing , and wasting fps .
