Download the latest version of this mod from HERE.

If you have a prior version of this mod installed, be sure to remove it by deleting the existing @SIX_Tracers folder and the existing @SIX_Misc folder from your default ArmA directory (C:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA for me). Then, to use this mod, simply unzip it into your default ArmA directory. Finally, create/update a Windows shortcut to include -mod=@SIX_Tracers -mod=@SIX_Misc in the Target line. For example, the Target line for my ArmA shortcut is:

"C:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -mod=@SIX_Tracers -mod=@SIX_Misc -mod=FDF_Sounds -nosplash


Note that this is an optional mod (like the FDF Sound Pack), so you don't NEED to have it to play on the Tactical Gamer ArmA servers.

SIX_Tracers-README_v0.1.txt:

Code:

6thSense.eu Presents: Tracers v0.1 ArmA v1.08 Compatible. (By Sickboy)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Tracer Addon uses a tracer model instead of particle source. We are still considering using a particle source at the bullet as ignition/light source. FPS should be seriously increased compared to the hundreds/thousands of particles we used before ;-)

This tracer addon is based on many peoples addons, ideas, thoughts and other contributions. Though the current state of the package; config wise, model wise and script wise is a nearly completely rewritten and rebuild package, by Sickboy and Garlay. Credits are found at the end of this Readme.
Installation

    * This addon requires you to install @SIX_Misc. Please review the Docs.
    * Place the folder: @SIX_Tracers into your ArmA Installation Folder
    * Place the dta folder into your ArmA Installation Folder, so the contents of the dta folder should be copied to your arma\dta folder
    * Edit your ArmA shortcut to include the mod, add: -mod=@SIX_Misc;@SIX_Tracers
          o or if you have multiple mods, per example: -mod=@ModWar;@MAP_Air;@SIX_Misc;@SIX_Tracers 
    * If you wish to configure the Tracers manually (SinglePlayer?-only), please review dta\SIX_Tracers.hpp
