CFS3 RED TRACERS effect

Red tracer effects bring Combat Flight Simulator 3 gunfire closer to period footage, replacing the default white streaks with vivid red rounds that read cleanly against sky and terrain. The revised visuals improve daytime visibility, help track lead and convergence during passes, and add sharper feedback in both cockpit and external views.
