It took a little digging since I have the AvHistory Effects files always as part of my installs.

If you have only the plain vanilla effects then the weapon files will need to be edited for the stock tracers to show up.
In the Weapons folder:

37mmNudelman_round becomes

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<UnitData>
<General Allegience="" LongName="" ShortName="" ModelName="" BlastDamageScale="1.0" ImpactDamageScale="1.0" FireDamageScale="1.0" Priority="2" Type="weapon" EnteredService="01/01/1943" BlastDamageMod="0" ImpactDamageMod="0" FireDamageMod="0" AllowSpawn="n" Category="weapon" Country="Germany" Mass="0.685"/>
<Description String=""/>
<Weapon WeaponType="shell" ImpactDice="1" ImpactDieSize="1" ImpactOffset="650" BlastDice="1" BlastDieSize="1" BlastOffset="3300" BlastRadius="3" FireDice="1" FireDieSize="1" FireOffset="71" ExplodeEffect="fx_grndexpl_t" GroundEffect="fx_grndexpl_t" AirEffect="fx_airexpl_s" WaterEffect="fx_bltwtr_l" TracerEffect="fx_tracer_m"/>
<Loadouts/>
<GunStations/>
<DamageBoxes/>
<Systems/>
</UnitData>

23mmNudelman-Rikhter_round becomes

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<UnitData>
<General Allegience="" LongName="" ShortName="" ModelName="" BlastDamageScale="1.0" ImpactDamageScale="1.0" FireDamageScale="1.0" Priority="2" Type="weapon" EnteredService="01/01/1944" BlastDamageMod="0" ImpactDamageMod="0" FireDamageMod="0" AllowSpawn="n" Category="weapon" Country="neutral" Mass=".531"/>
<Description String=""/>
<Weapon WeaponType="bullet" ImpactDice="1" ImpactDieSize="1" ImpactOffset="65.39" BlastDice="1" BlastDieSize="1" BlastOffset="52.8" BlastRadius="2" FireDice="1" FireDieSize="1" FireOffset="25" ExplodeEffect="fx_grndexpl_t" GroundEffect="fx_bltgnd_m" AirEffect="fx_bltpln_m" WaterEffect="fx_bltwtr_m" TracerEffect="fx_tracer_m"/>
<Loadouts/>
<GunStations/>
<DamageBoxes/>
<Systems/>
</UnitData>

The lines that are missing from the Effects.xml to support the intended green tracers are:

<tracer_23mm_green ClassName="TracerEffect" TracerLength="2.5" TracerWidth="2.5" TracerRorationSpeed="500" TracerBlendMode="Add" TracerSideTexture="tracerend7.dds" TracerEndTexture="tracerend7.dds" SmokeLength="1600" SmokeWidth="2.5" SmokeRorationSpeed="1200" SmokeBlendMode="QuadSprite" SmokeSideTexture="tracerSmoke4.dds" SmokeEndTexture="black.DDS"/>
<fx_tracer_23mm_green ClassName="GroupEffect" Effect0="tracer_23mm_green" />

and then you would need to add tracerend7.dds to your Effects\Fxtextures folder.
black.dds and tracersmoke4.dds should already be part of the basic install.

I don't fly at night too often, but with my recent effort on the RF-61C night recon missions, I realized that there was something amiss with these tracers at night. With AnKor's shaders the sprites are dimmed at night unless you specifically exclude them in the texturemagic.ini file in the shaders30 folder. To correct this you should add tracerend7.dds to the list in the [FullbrightSprite] ; section. If you've noticed any other effects that seem dim when they really shouldn't be you would correct them in the same way by adding the appropriate dds file to the list.

Thanks again for the vital info Major! I was racking my brain trying to fix this.

gosd · Dec 30, 2016

I would like to check this out. Which version of the mig uses these weapons?

gosd · Dec 30, 2016

Found the planes that use these weapons. Made the changes to the files; all it did was change the collor of the tracers from green to white in night time and day time.
What is the purpose of this mod ?

MajorMagee · Dec 30, 2016

They are supposed to be green. White would mean you don't have the AvHistory Effects installed, but if they used to be green I'm not sure what you've done.

gosd · Dec 30, 2016

In 37mmNudelman_round and in 23mmNudelman-Rikhter_round
I replaced TracerEffect="fx_tracer_23mm_green" with TracerEffect="fx_tracer_m".
I already have <tracer_23mm_green ClassName="TracerEffect" TracerLength="2.5" TracerWidth="2.5" TracerRorationSpeed="500" TracerBlendMode="Add" TracerSideTexture="tracerend7.dds" TracerEndTexture="tracerend7.dds" SmokeLength="1600" SmokeWidth="2.5" SmokeRorationSpeed="1200" SmokeBlendMode="QuadSprite" SmokeSideTexture="tracerSmoke4.dds" SmokeEndTexture="black.DDS"/>
<fx_tracer_23mm_green ClassName="GroupEffect" Effect0="tracer_23mm_green" />
in my effects.xml
and I have added tracerend7.dds to the list in the [FullbrightSprite]

MajorMagee · Dec 30, 2016

Sorry if I've caused confusion.

If the original flies worked to provide green tracers then no editing needed to be done, other than adding tracerend7.dds to the texturemagic.ini so they would be bright at night. Hopefully you made a back-up of your xpd files before you made any changes.

just to let you know, currently I am working on a next version of the MiG-15bis add-on (initial North Korea skin pack).

there will be only one and only main package which will include all the original STD textures and specular / reflex masks + all the M3D ariplane AK material patched models. this should allow to fly the original STD "silver" metalic skins with / without Ankor Shaders.

as optional replacement stuff there will be included the original AK version textures and specular / reflex masks (only). this should allow to fly the AK original "grey" metalic skins with / without Ankor Shaders.

in another words if the user dislikes the alluminium skin paint, he may simply replace it with the alternative paints
