effects question

I followed along with a short discussion on the .dp settings in the gunstation line for increasing and decreasing the effectiveness of various guns(the anemic stock settings versus 1% more accurate). I'd like to know if there is such a setting for tracer effects.

I fly a lot of planes with Schrage Musik guns and as is historical, many do not have gunsights. also, tracer effects from plane to plane seem to vary, from great(Akemi) to non-existent. What I want to do is temporarily increase the tracer effects so that I can fly little training missions to establish the point of impact reference on the canopy frames looking upward on various planes. Can this tracer effect be adjusted in the manner the .dp effects described above are?

Thanks

Rudel texture for Alphasim Stuka

I did the Flak 18 underwing 37 mm cannon mod for the AH Stuka, there was a skin for Rudlel's Ju-87 at the Outhouse, the link is dead. Anyone point me to a source for this texture?

Thanks

tracers

Open the dp-files with notepad and scroll down to the gun section


gunstation.0=0,-2,1,0.10,883,2,0.01,500,2,40,4d4*14,-2.826,-0.653,0.696, 0.2494260,13.010904,1.0793248,0,0,0,0,1.60
tracer percentage. [Machine gun and cannon only. All other weapons = 0]

The percentage of bullets fired from this weapon that will be displayed as tracers, e.g. 40%. Try to keep this value low. The higher the tracer percentage, the more you degrade your computer's performance.

Thank you Achim. Like I said, this is just a temporary adjustment for a few aircraft. With Akemi's Irving and Myrt nightfighters, it takes just about 5 seconds to estimate a point of impact, with other craft the rounds can;t be seen at all.

Good flying to you.
