Title: Steal the B17-II tracers!
Post by: gatt on November 26, 2000, 10:37:00 AM
The tracers in B-17 Flying Fortress are awesome. When you look at them from the cockpit of your fighter they have the same shape and irregular behaviour of the WWII gun-cameras.

HTC give a look to them!

Have you got a pic of them that you can share Gatt?  I'd love to see tracers that leave more of a spiralled puffy smoke effect... it will happen one day!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hi Replicant-Nexx,
I'll try to take a screenshot and post it, but I doubt that we can see the tracers. Anyway, they are very nice, irregular, zig-zag tracers. I was looking at them through my 109G gunsight and they reminded me the LW air-combat school VHS I have at home ... really.

You do know why they are zig-zagy, right?

i think they look kind ziggy because of the camera wobble, but they did leave that wierd corkscrew trail.

It's one of those nice cinematic effects like "lense flare" and "prop strobe"  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I think to summon the spirits needed to steal the b-17 2 tracers and place them in AH, one must cover himself with avation fuel and light himself on fire and dive off his roof into a wading pool of butter.  This and only this shall appease the wrathful god... Than and only then can one achieve tracer bliss.

Do you want the prop to appear to spin backwards too?

The tracer in B17-II is very good - far better than AH. Don't know how many people would want it - it's harder to hit things in B17-II with the tracer set as it is. Very authentic looking though.
