You really should try reading WHOLE posts sometimes instead of just every third word or so, you learn much more and generally make fewer inane and pointless responses.

Ouch... someone is having a bad day...

Don't forget, it's "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" not "do unto others before they do unto you"

I think Treize has lost it. He's talking about invisible tracers.

I would like the ability to turn them off for anything smaller than 30mm or even perhaps 20mm rounds.

I understand that a 30mm round will definately have some sort of trail simply due to its size. Is this incorrect?

Hence, I have tracers on for the aircraft is the Mk108 in.

Having to turn this off every time I jump into something with smaller rounds is tiresome.

Idealy, you could select the guns that had tracer rounds.

30mm = on
MG = off

20mm = off
MG = Off

This would be grand!

I partially agree with hub. A checkbox in the hangar would be a lot handier than going through all the clicks. I fly one plane exclusively, with tracers off. Since I'm so used to the ballistics I don't need them.

However, if I up a different plane (most of the time it's a 110 to kill ord somewhere) my aim is god awful and wish I could toggle tracers on/off in flight.

Wasn't me this time

As for the whole tracer being off and on (and yes, I have read all the posts) I like the idea of the enemy not seeing me shoot at him because he can't tell how horrible I am missing

More fun on the FG - especially when you pop one and they have no clue what hit em

I would prefer to be able to choose to load tracers in the hangar with a check box that is associated with a particular plane.

(example- once chosen I would not have tracers for F4u-1 but I may want to load tracers for KI61)

or having it in the convergence page would make alot of sense as well.

the key would be that tracers would be a preference that sticks with a plane----just like convergence

I am one of those folks that believes once you "know" the ballistics of your weapon, the hit % goes up with tracers not loaded.

Tracers work in 2 directions- no tracers can lead to a split second of confusion by the enemy -- enough time to saw off his wing

imagine resetting your views each time you chose a different plane
or having convergence set reset it across the board to all planes
