Ammo Load-outs?

Yeah I've had no luck getting them to work outside of FMB settings either. You can save your convergance in the "quick" plane menu, but only on a profile you made in the FMB. As far as running out of ammo goes, yeah, it sucks. Get used to the idea of getting a kill or two if you're really lucky. There's only something like 11-14 seconds worth of ammo, and that goes really fast.

That's hard news. Thanks for the info though.

Saving a profile in FMB and using it in 'quick' sounds OK.

I have managed to change my load out for the plane in online multiplayer. I go into the plane section. Find the plane I want to adjust the load out for and select that then click on load out. I then change the type and convergenes as I want. I click save but just save it as custom can't rename it. Then I click ok, not back, and then click ok out of the plane section as well. So when am spawning plane at the base my load out appears to be loaded with the changed convergences. Remember your convergences get changed for each gun not for all at once. Also seams to be plane type dependent so need to change it for each different type of plane you want to fly.

A universal covergence setting that applies to all guns would be useful, alongside the ability to set each gun.

Yep, I agree....would make things a bit quicker and I wouldn't forget to set it for a couple of guns like I have done.

Also, I would like smoking tracers for the Brit planes......someone said that the mkIV(?) tracers were smoky.....is that correct?
Actually, it would be nice to have any tracers for the spit in single/quick missions.....I'm still not seeing any - how about everyone else?

Yes ,there were smoking tracers used in the BoB. I'm not talknig about 20mm cannons. Check out some original gun cam footages. It's perfectly modeled in BoB2:WoV by the way.

However, having to fiddle around in FMB to get the loadouts right - and not even then does it work - is unacceptable IMO. Whatever happened to the good old Il2 QMB?!
