hollowman8904 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Since the latest patch, I am unable to turn my mirrors off. Is anyone else experiencing this?
razo+r Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Are they still functioning or do you just see a static picture? also, check in your options -> Mirrors on
Cal.50BMG Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Mirrors are on in options and I only see a static picture. Greetings
razo+r Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 If you only see a static picture, then they are turned off
FSKRipper Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I experienced this also but loading a second mission and pressing LShift+M worked. i9 9900K @ 5,0GHz | 1080GTX | 32GB RAM | 256GB, 512GB & 1TB Samsung SSDs | TIR5 w/ Track Clip | Virpil T-50 Stick with extension + Warthog Throttle | MFG Crosswind pedals | Gametrix 908 Jetseat [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
hollowman8904 Posted September 12, 2016 Author Posted September 12, 2016 They are turned off in options, but they are still rendering. The mirrors are not clickable, so I can't turn them off in game either.
Cal.50BMG Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 If you only see a static picture, then they are turned off Nope, they are turned on.
razo+r Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Well yeah, you have an image, but if it is static, DCS doesn't render it, it will just keep the last image rendered there, until you turn them on again
Cal.50BMG Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Well ok, so although they are turned on in the options menu I somehow turned them off in the cockpit? Did I get this right? I should try LShift and M? Greetings
razo+r Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Turned on in the options does only mean that they are available and turned on when joining a plane For example: KA-50 with mirrors turned off has no mirrors, when enabled, the two mirrors above the cockpit will appear
Redglyph Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I confirm the bug in 1.5.4.56500.154: - when the mission starts, the mirror are hidden - when clicking on the mirror the first time (or equivalent shortkey), they rotate and turn on - when clicking on the mirror again, the reflection is not updated anymore but it's not rotating to "hide away". (then it cycles between active and static reflection). The user must quit DCS in order to get the mirror rotated and blacked-out again, simply restarting a mission just shows a static image again. The static image is prone to induce the pilot into believing there is no rear threat. I'm not sure it was intentional, but if it is, it might not be the best option? :) System specs: Win7 x64 | CPU: i7-4770K | RAM: 16 GB | GPU: GTX 980 Ti 6 GB | Thrustmaster HOTAS | MFG rudder pedals | SATA3 SSD | TrackIR
Frederf Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 I think the very best is to animate the mirrors physically swiveling so the reflective surface cannot be seen if the real mirrors can be moved so. If the mirror mount cannot be moved so as to hide the image surface then when the mirror effect is off there should be a placeholder image (gray, generic, witty joke, whatever). But the "last updated image from when you turned it off" is kinda bad.
