Tracer Rounds

[Chips86]

Is there any way to modify the spacing of your tracers? Or add tracers to the planes that only seem to use them when ammo's running low?

EDIT: Also I was wondering if there was a way to change the colour of your gunsight?

You cant change the color. Even back than they couldnt do it either (stockversion). As far as i know changeable Gunsight colors came with laser HUDs (most likely)

If you open the mission in the Full mission builder, select your aircraft, you can modify your loadout, the type, amount and colour of your tracer rounds specifically for .303 per gun if flying Spitties. Also options are there for Armour piercing and incendiary rounds....haven't looked at loadouts for the other airplanes yet. Dont forget to save the mission when you have finished. Haven't changed it yet myself but the option is there if you want to give it a go.

You can create a profile in Full mission builder and also in the options/plane area, if you click on loadout.
There you can setup the ammo on the belts, on each individual gun, however you want. You do this by moving the type of ammo you want in the belt, in the left window.
Let's say, in hurricane you have five rounds in the left window, out of wich one is tracer (white).
What ever the sequence is loaded in the left window, that sequence is going to repeat in the entire belt. You want more tracers, just drop one more tracer from the right window into your belt (left window). You want only tracers, you remove everything except the tracer.
You can do that for every gun, and you don't have to load all guns the same.
When you are done, make sure you save the loadout with "save as", and give it a name. That name will show up in your missions screen, in the drop down menu, just under the image of the plane you selected..
Here's one example i did just for fun, to look good on screenshots.

Simply i loaded in four guns just one "Navy tracer" (because is red), one AP and one Incendiary. In the other four guns i loaded only AP and incendiary.

Here's the result:

I have tried doing as has been said here, just in the plane loadouts screen, and i cant seem to get it to save...whenever i go to select my loadout the only option it gives me is 'custom' which is exactly the same as default...am i doing it wrong?

I noticed new loads don't show in all missions in quick mission builder. Try the "dogfight' missions, not the "Just fly around" ones.
