Check that all your guns on the Brit fighters are actually firing bullets

In single player loadout is a part of a mission file, not aircraft setting AFAIK. You can open any single player mission(including QMB ones) in FMB to check what loadouts a player's aircraft has in this particular mission.

Some of my loadouts don't have tracers at all. To check my planes I created a multiplayer game and tested loadouts. Sure enuff some had the glitch. So I recreated the loadouts and did some testing with and without tracers (firing into the water to check for splash) until I ensured that all guns were actually sending out bullets. I need to do more testing along these lines but thought I would share this finding so u can all check.

Well there you go. I saw this while back, when firing into water. Only two sets of splashes, which were the tracers. The other guns were flashing but no bullets. Even on bombers,when shot at, only seem to be taking damage from the guns that have tracer rounds.

I wonder if the damage we're doing represents 8 guns and not just two?

I tested my guns, by putting yellow tracers on the outboard guns on both sides, and red tracers on the inboard on both sides.

That way I could watch the fire from both sides and check both sides were working. I also checked by firing blip bursts into water, when I could see all 8 rounds hit.

My guns were fine, but previously I had manually copied and pasted all my guns settings into the "User" file in my "Documents/1C Softclub/il2 sturmovik cliffs of dover/ after I had problems with getting the 100 octane Spit to accept custom settings. People might want to try this if they are getting problems.
