Bump.

Right next to the weapon/ord loadout or convergence tab could be a checkbox - "Load Tracers?  Y_  N_"

Right now you have to bring up the clipboard, then hit options/preferences/flight/tracers/back and then pick your plane.  If you like having tracers off but occasionally fly a bomber, you have to remember to do all that to enable tracers before you take off.  And also do the whole process over again before you fly a fighter.  Were the choice of tracers set up just like convergence, weapons, views and gunsights; they would only have to be set up once for each plane.  If the default setting is having the "load tracers" box checked, people that keep them on won't have to do anything.  But with the option available, players can have certain planes with and certain without tracers.  As well as having field guns, bombers and flak vehicles with them on - and not have to go through the tedium of switching (and bailing if they forget before spawning in) back and forth.

It would save those of us who choose not to use tracers, a great deal of time.

+1 I like the idea. would be useful for me. I dont use tracers in anything unless its a wirbel. pain in the arse to go through that procedure just to disable them for one or two sorties.
