so for me this is not working.
so are you sure that this works for you?
have you tried to load the belts without tracers?

No, David, I have not tried out a belt with out tracers yet, but read my reply to cheesehawk and my voodoo-words about. The appearance of tracers is not that, what I set in loadout-menu, but what I can SEE there, though.

Yes, it works for me! But, I if you ve followed step by step my intstructions, you should at least be able to retrieve your customized loadout in the QM-builder, so that you can at least SEE your indiviual settings every time. If the game interprets it allways correctly, who nows? If I will be back at home, I'll do some testing with a/p, incendiarys & bullets.
My questions to you:
# When you customize your belt without tracers in the FM-builder, is it interpreted correctly by the game then ?
#2 Can you at least SEE your indiviual belt-settings every time in the Option-menu by following my intstructions?

1-yes the game will recognize my customized belts, in self made missions.
2-yes i can see the profile in quick missions, but this can be achieved much quicker....
one just have to save a custom loadout directly in the game, and then you will see it.but its important, that one saves both the belt loadout and the weapon loadout(the section where one can set the fuel amount).and i think its important that you save it both under the same name.
then one dont have to follow your steps to be able to see the profile in quick missions....however the only thing which possibly gets loaded in the stock missions, is the fuel amount and the weapons(meaning whether they carry bullets or are completely empty), but definitely not which bullets you loaded in your profile.
although im not sure if the fuel amount gets loaded.

but if i make a mission in the fmb, i can then use my custom loadout profile and it will work.and therefore i dont have to follow your steps but only save a profile directly in game.

Hi David, you are defenitly right
Today, first, I tried to make the proof that in stockmissions my method is also working like in singlemissions. I took a lot of screenshots, showing exactly your method (and mine aswell, see below) to choose your personal loadout in the Option-menu

How bizzar, there is never the same result, depending on how much presets have been created on an individual plane, then the preset is not that, what you had put on before and so on. SIGH!
So, finaly, I did like you: went into FMB, take a 109 E3, created a preset without tracers ("ohne Tracers" in the photos), played the mission from the FMB, AND, NO TRACERS!
Keeping straight your way, I did NOT my Copy-the-userini-from-remote-to-mydocfolders/1C/CloD-procedure. I restarted the game, went into stockmission, chose preset "ohne Tracers" (#1 image). Then I checked in the preflight-optionmenu, if there's my "ohne Tracers"-preset, yes (#2 image), but then, ingame there are TRACERS; ARRRRRGH!
So there's definitly the proof, even when customized loadouts are correctly displaied, the game will it not interpreted correctly and my "sophisticaced"-method is useless aswell,
SIGH, SIGH

The only thing I can confirm definitly is, that the customizing of the convergence is possible and effective, even in stock-missions & singles, even changeable in the "preflight-option-menu, (maybe you call it "adapted").It is the only feature, which is as reliable as in ol'IL2. I have created a mission, where you can play with it on the ground and see the fx of a cross-eyed convergance. I will upload the mission and the link when I am back at home.

yes i can confirm everything you said.the custom loadouts will work in self made missions or in multiplayer but not in stock missions, except you customize them as well in the fmb.
convergence however is working!
so everything you said is correct.

Edit:hey topgum,....i just saw that you are using the german version of the game...so where are you from?are you playing online?

Yes, it is a shame to discover that I was cheated for so long time by the "correct" displays. At least I "felt" all the time that I got the option to customize each aircraft in stock&singlemissions, apart from the fuel quantity....but sometimes I wondered, why it is so hard one day to get a kill and so much easier the next.
- all in all it is just another bug in the wall !
