Hey guys,
Im creating my own cheapo sim rig, just getting my g27 now.. VERY nice upgrade from my old thrustmaster enzo ferrari... Anyways, I have 2 spare Amazon Kindle devices, both of which are Android. I was wondering if I could make those display as mirrors for in game, so i could make my own in-car feel. Im using my phone right now as a dashboard. Is there a program that will show my mirrors on an Android device? Thx a lot.

P.S. sry if this is in wrong section of forum

sounds super cool as an idea

I doubt Kindle would work for displaying any kind of videogame content because the screens of those ebook readers have very slow refresh rates.

The only way is to stream the complete picture to the tablet. For this you need a Pc and a LFS account for each mirror.
These you set in the views on the mirror and stream with Trinus or Moonlight to the tablet. Too complicated and expensive for such Simplen things. Sorry.

A program for it does not exist as you imagine.

He says Android, that means it's a Kindle Fire - a rather ordinary tablet with normal LCD.

Oh ok. Ill just have to settle with the one virtual mirror on the top. Sry to ask more, but is there a way to get virtual side mirrors on the bottom sides of the screen? Im trying to make the view on the hood so i can make my real car interior in my sim rig.

Ya, a mostly normal tablet with the worst OS ever till u root it and flash it with a custom ROM, at which point it suddenly becomes wonderful.

Nope. Only 2 options - 1 virtual mirror on top or only real mirrors.

You are not the first one with this idea.
Good luck and let me know if you can find a solution other than mine.

thx

Haha isn't lfs work?

wish it pays the bills

thats cool Xenix, but you must not forget when you are in real car, that its not LFS then...

Oh come on, you should be able to discover a similarity with your avatar image.

Maybe u should join our team We all born to race

Old thread I know. But wouldn't it be possible to make a 2d virtual mirror using outsim data? You can get the frontal views of the cars from the skins folder, use outsim data to figure out angles and distances. Scale for distance like an old 16 bit game... Or use unity

But your center console is from an Opel, the one in XFG is a mk1 Punto... not saying that they don't look similar but there is an identical option too

EDIT: I noticed, but just wanted to point the obvious thing out

I also said a "similarity" xD
