Tony_West1941: It can be done in UAW160 which has a gunsight manager and a file for setting the colours of the tracers.
sebastianpons: Hi. Than kyou for your input, but I have a possibly stupid question: What is UAU 160, where do I find it, and will it work with the GOG installation?
Thank you again

It will not work with the GoG installation, but the installations are "stand-alone" so you do not need a previous version of EAW.
The latest GoG installation is their version of EAW 1.2. It has just replaced their first version which was an erroneous release of EAW 1.28 which was compiled by the code-group and released as a free patch to EAW 1.2 under an agreement with Atari who owned the rights to EAW. It was released well over 10 years ago.
Since then the members of the code group have continually developed the game, and UAW160 is their latest version.
Check the EAW forum at SimHQ. There are download links in various posts there.
