The tracer bullets have the pyrotechnic material loaded in the base of the bullet not in the tip, so it can be ignited by the propelant in the case.

As far as the loadouts in CloD, I've tried mix matching different loadouts and have never seen the tracer pattern change. Always just tracers from the 2 outboard guns and always white. Even with no tracer rounds I still get tracers!
You have to save the loadout in the full mission builder and only then you can use it. The quick mission builder is all messed up. You can't make loadouts in there.


And about the zig-zaging effect, it's been explained to death. it's the wing mounted camera that's shaking, not the tracers flying in zig-zag.

You can also make the load outs in the main menu/options/plane page, then save as

Is there a video showing where CloD is at regards tracer appearance now ? I think the main problem was the beams of light were too thick. I have not seen the smoke swirls in CloD as I can't run it yet but I follow developments making it even tastier. I did wonder if the slight wiggle of tracers was camera vibration but the aircraft being filmed doesnt vibrate as such.

The current state of the tracers ala the most recent patches is at a pretty good place.

As evidenced by the fact people stopped complaining about it

Seriously, they're actually pretty good to my eyes anyway. Load up and give 'em a look see!

Hi, Unfortunately I am unable as said to install CloD though at least I now own it. I cant seem to find any videos showing current tracer development or even stills.
