This is a simple mod that adjust the tracer frequency for the projectile data to all bullets have a tracer/vapor trail effect. By default only 1 out of every 4 rounds from rifle have the tracer/vapor-trail effect and none of the pistol rounds have tracer/vapor-trail.
Far Harbor compatible. (but not required) New Calibers version available.
I made this mod because I noticed that mod weapons that use the vanilla 5mm ammo have a tracer/vapor-trail effect on all shots fired because the vanilla 5mm has the tracer/vapor-trail effect for the Minigun.
Now Available: Reduced versions with 50% and 25% tracers
