Just to let you know, the current downloadable was updated with new visual and aural effects:
What this means is that now the ZPU-2 will shoot green tracers, the ZU-23 will shoot red, and the mobile ZSU-23 (Shilka) will shoot orange.
The tracers are now implemented differently - instead of being a visible object, they are an invisible one with a light effect attached. They look very different now, but based on film and video and descriptions they seem more realistic to me (never having been shot at in at airplane I can't say from personal experience - thankfully); however if you like the old tracers they are still there, just modify the Weapons.cfg file and taken the colors off the tracker SimObjects so they read "AAW_Tracer" - that's the original.
The lighted effects are very visible at night like they should be, and they also flash the interior of the cabin in P3D v4 when you get hit or with a close miss. Not sure how realistic this is but it adds to the drama.
Sound has been overhauled a bit too. Sound effects when you get hit have 12 variations instead of just three.
As always, get it here, and let me know how you like the new effects: fscaptain.proboards.com/thread/3218/latest-version-fscai-right

- New tracer object and effects, now colors red, green, blue
- New sound effect matrix with much more variation
- Targeting is now quicker, but units with higher skill levels will wait until firing
- Other small targeting and aiming improvements
- User display new status "Targeted User Aircraft", previously it just reported "Searching".
Now "Searching" means it has no target and is looking for one.
What this means is that now the ZPU-2 will shoot green tracers, the ZU-23 will shoot red, and the mobile ZSU-23 (Shilka) will shoot orange.
