Yes it would indeed be nice to see your car frame in the mirrors for immersion, and also perhaps being able to adjust them to your preferred seat position. However, remember; if you see your own car in the mirrors you got a "wrong angle" and do not use the full view available (what is the use of seeing your own car in the mirror?).
That being said, I'd mutch rather see more details in mirrors than rendering your own car. Spending time and resources on such things is hopefully low priority as I am totally satisfied with the mirrors we have in a racing point of view. Just my opinion.

The real world must be wrong then, because when I drive I see my own car in mirrors. I will post this later as a glitch in GOD's forum

¿What is the use of seeing your own car in the mirror? ¿are you serious?
The obvious answer it's err... realism. Every race driver see in the world see his/her own car in mirrors, that gives you information about your real position in track respect the other cars. Example, if someone tries to overtake you on the inside and you want to close the line, you can see if the front of the car it's level with your back or behind. Without that information you can cause an accident.

I think that the rendering time and resources can't be the answer. We are in year 2012 and computers do amazing things, and for low spec machines you can have LOD and an on/off options in view menu.

It's a recurrent question that I have everytime I play LFS (and almost any other racing simulator), ¿why I can't see the back of my car in mirrors?

I have only seen two games that have it, Euro Truck Simulator http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBYyupsszrc&hd=1 and Iracing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNiLWAPWVLE and the feeling it's quite realistic, ¿don't you think so?

probably ive never tried to drive upside down ith rf but any table based approach is bound to go wrong if you push it past its boundaries

judging by that video lfs should at least be not completely off

I read somewhere that in rfactor you can't drive upside down because the downforce go always down. Seems that in LFS that's not a problem.

If this works in LFS, I don't mind seeing a circuit with a tunnel, overtaking someone through the roof must be really exciting

About doing this in real life, I really don't see someone crazy enough to risk his/her life doing this. As someone said before, maybe in a wind tunnel could be done.

I think LFS has the right physics to test the F1 upside down myth. I found this video in youtube where you can see the downforce working right, lifting the car, when it's upside down.

Will be cool to have a tunnel like this one in LFS to test it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHDojzNA8gs

that's what you need to join the forum police: check if it's in the right forum before you laugh...

I'm in the right forum. I'm talking about the reset option in LFS. Many people say that when you beached, race is over, and if you press reset button, you're cheating.

After seeing Hamilton incident, I can say that is 100% legal

I want cranes in S3

This one:



Tramontana
V12 Biturbo 720 hp 5513 cc
0-100 km/h 3.7 sec
Max speed 355 km/h

http://www.tramontanagroup.com/

http://www.miniclip.com/games/crash-course-football/en/

Please, get this into S3, ¡¡it's really fun!!

Before play, choose options and select hard difficulty level and long game length, you can also redefine keys if you want.

Enjoy it
