Thanks Walter.

when I Select Sarvanto D.XXI with R Cowling MG-Tracer only in QMB, it won't give me the right sight? I Tested with original D.XXI early and late series, with them they are working without any problem. I Can just see a black screen when I Press shift + F1 in Sarvanto?

Sounds like you missed to toggle the Tinted Reticle Dimmer. If you don't do so, the gunsight scope will be covered hence you see a black screen when looking through that scope.
By default Ctrl+D is assigned to this function. Try to open the scope and see if it works then.

Best regards - Mike

Okay, now I Understood and it works! Thanks for your fast response too. But when I Select "R Cowling MG-Tracer only" as loadout, what does it actually does?

Normal belting for all 4 guns (both cowling and both wing guns) is this:
2 out of 6 bullets are tracers (red).
1 out of 2 tracer bullets (this is 1 out of 6 bullets) creates a smoke trail.

Alternative belting ("R Cowling MG-Tracer only") is this:
For right cowling gun:
All bullets are tracers. None of them creates a smoke trail.
For the other 3 guns (Left cowling and both wings):
None of the bullets are tracers nor carry a smoke trail.

Other than that the belting is basically the same (same calibre, same explosive charges etc.).

*bump*
Attention online players: Since Modact 5.20 ships with Offline buttons, the famous online smoke bug applies. This means that for some aircraft (109, Hurri, some Spits, some 190s, a few other aircraft) stock players will see rich mixture smoke on your engine exhausts, which in turn gives away your position to enemy stock players.
I'm sorry for this bug, it will be fixed very soon, this time with a more sophisticated solution than separating offline and online buttons which has been a pita in the past.

Hi mates!

...

They're on the list now.

About 409&410 vs 411&412 aiming trought shift+F1:

Apart the nice effect of moving view offered from the new POW dynamic , I'm very disappointed from the complication of keep aiming in the meantime I manouver to shoot as in the actual game version due the not fixed view while in 409&410 I simply manouver then switch view when target is near gunsight , and I'm really helped from the fixed view....

....moreover the new POW management hurt rear view of old planes (troublesome to update for older or orphan mods) , missing gunsight alignement (hard or impossible aiming reduce playability and limit a lot of planes to be used as AI only) , disappearing struts , missing aiming gunsight for bombers (almost unusable apart AI)....a lot of work to do for a complete upgrade!

Any thought about?

Can a downgrade be done? (maybe more simple or acceptable as a stopgap solution waiting for a complete planes update)

Thanks in advance!

EDIT

Only to specify that the trouble I'm writing for aren't for the reflective gunsights but for fixed ring or telescopic ones!
