Some cracking tracers, makes an A-10 run look so much more satisfying.

All we need now is those lighting and effects addons your hiding ;)

Yep, ive tried this and its awesome, i never really liked doing any night missions because of the stock tracers just looked... fake! imo, and the fake looking night sky with its cut out effect..

Nice work...

[EDIT] Ok as im playing around with night time in editor i finally play around with the months/dates etc which give all sorts of cool night time atmospheres.. theres still the cutout effect which is alittle anoying for me, but yea... this game doesn't stop

Can you make them "glow" pretty please? :) Make them into "light sources" so they lit up everything they pass close to. Worked in ArmA1: 6th sense made the first and ACE1 refined them later on.

Is this compatible with Pistolified's tracers? Or is this an alternative? Or can the two be combined?

It looks like Pistolfied's modification of tracer sequences does not become active with this mod.

That would be a great addition to this one! I prefer turning tracers on for most of the rifles.

What about a user config file to switch via variable(s) to your own choice?

Well the thing is that the config is pretty simple you can easly unpack the .pbo and change the color of whatever ammo you wanna change to something like green, red, yellow in the config settings.

Anyway ere u go.

Awesome! I've been waiting for this for a long time, thank you!

note: Would anyone be so kind to post a config that changes tracer colours similiar to ArmA2 default? OPFOR - Green and BLUFOR - Red.

As long as Opticalsnare is ok with it ofcourse :)
