I've used TIR since day one of sim racing and I'd be totally lost without it. I love being able to look through a corner to see where I need to be or what's coming up, plus like I mentioned above I can see a car pulling up beside me to pass.

I might give the virtual mirrors a try. My normal mirrors seem so small.

Thanks for that tip. I was always scared to move my seat because my mirrors would be off.

Great tip about the mirror adjustment and I wish I could get it to work! I tried moving my seat and mirrors all over the place and also messed with the mirror/headmovement params in my PLR file but still no luck. This is what I always see ...

Where's car 13? ...



There's car 13! ...

I've never seen a rearview mirror that would show what's beside you. biggrin

Yeah that side mirror is only going to show what's at your rear right quarter panel, not anything forward of that.

Don't worry about the mirror. You have a bigger problem. Your back door is missing. hahaha

Awww, I thought there might be a miracle cure to my "side mirror" problem smile I know they don't actually exist in real life but was hoping they would in rFactor to allow for more situational awareness.

Anyway, TIR is turned on and it looks like the modelling of the interior of these OSC cars is barely half done.

I know you are refering to real life Darren, but actually in one of Papyrus's Nascar games the rear view mirror was in three sections with the side segments showing side views. It would be great if Rfactor 2 would incorporate that idea.
