I like having tracers off on certain planes and on in others. As such I am constantly dicking around with that setting in options menu. Forgetting usually to toggle it between plane types. Would please me immensely if I could assign that feature to specific planes rather than sorties.

I tried turning tracers off and was starting to get the hang of it. Turned them back on because it caused problems like:
-No tracers in bomber guns but drones show tracers ifirc.
-No tracers in field ack but enemy can see tracers.
-Changing the setting for different planes requires [clipboard/options/preferences/flight/tracers] before each sortie.
Tracer selection should be in the hangar next to "set convergence". :pray

HOW ABOUT ASSIGNING DIFFERENT COLOR TRACERS TO OUR WEAPONS, if necessary have the options limited to the historical ones used....
-
Agree with Yeager and Caldera.
Additionally there should be other options as well, such as changing how often tracers appear, or no tracers except a burst shortly before you run out of ammo.
Color would be nice, but it would be mostly an eye candy option. I'd rather have function.

Ghost hit the nail on the head with that one

A different kind of tracer all together for offline mode gunnery practice. A high bright visible red or orange as every single round that can be seen clearly out to 1500 yards fired from aircraft and 2500 yards fired from soft ack. The games tracers dissapere into the landscape clutter and into the haze layer very quickly other wise.
The lead computing green cross is distracting trying to focus on it. You don't really learn the sight picture related to lead and elevation as much as you anticipate the moving green cross and the aircrafts line of travel. The cross is not as accurate as one would imagine. I miss as often with it on as off. Does it even recalibrate when you change convergence for each aricraft? It does give you a perspective on the impact point differences between MG and Cannon. But, past about 300 yards, it's not much more accurate than my knowlege of the games gunnery after all of these years.
Giving us high glow pixels like a gamey fire hose would be better. We have airshow smoke offline and in the TA don't we? That way without having to film your practice and watch the film you can see the extent of the tracer track and how much its missing in real time to adjust for the next drone in 30sec. Or, not to need to zoom to maximum to see the current tracers pass by the con which takes away your visual perspective by focusing your sight picture down to the wingspan of the con. Since game gratification and possibly retention is all about those kills, and this would be the offline EASY MODE of easy modes for all new "never pulled a flight sim trigger" customers 8yrs to 80yrs. Then couple that with the green lead comp cross............ :t
Kind of like those gamey red and green tracer pixels in AW.......... :old:

Since every other wish gets rehashed over and over, this "easy-mode" coad fix needs a bump.

How tough can it be? Just a bunch of 1s and 0s. ;)

+1000 I would love to have this option.

I made a terrain where the tracers were red. Looked really cool. Just tried to find screenies & I couldn't. If I can remember which terrain, I'll put it up for download so you can see what it's like.
