Tracers?

Post by :FI:ZekeMan » Fri Feb 03, 2006 7:10 pm

It just struck me the other night that I no longer can see my tracer fire from the cockpit. Has it always been this way? Does it depend on graphics setting or something? Been wracking my brain trying to figure out why my gunnery has gone to hell when a bell rung within me brain about the tracers. Thoughts? Comments? Snide remarks about how blind Zeke is?

Zeke, my friend, which warbird were ya flying?

Some birdies have less visible tracers, I think the P51 for instance.

Sir Macca, I see no tracers on any of them. I am positive that I used the tracers to direct my fire before. Then again...the doctors keep telling me the voices in my head aren't really there. Do you guys actually see tracers when in cockpit?

From in the cockpit I mean. I guess it does vary from fighter to fighter and must have something to do with the graphics settings also. I cranked up my GL settings in windows, changed my resolution in-game, and flew my trusty P-40. Viola! Tracers, not very clear, but I saw one or two streaking out to the target and allowed me to correct my fire. Go figure...
