Bagpipe Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Have the mirrors been mentioned yet? They are terrible. Like...really bad. Don;t get me wrong the systems are tremendous and i am seriously, seriously loving this thing but them mirrors need looked at and quick. Is this part of the WIP cockpit? Cheers
Tiger-II Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 They seem to have a very narrow field of view, and don't seem to be aligned correctly.

It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
Bagpipe Posted December 26, 2019 Author Posted December 26, 2019 Yes. FOV is very narrow, everything is zoomed way in. Also at night, the reflected lights look like my GPU is having a meltdown. And when i hit M key the mirrors fold back and freeze the previous image instead of turning off?
Bagpipe Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Having gone back to the FC3 aircraft, the mirrors in the Jeff resemble the quality of the mirrors in those modules. Just expecting better between EA and release. Not sure if new API etc. will have an impact on reflection rendering.sky box etc. so prob not worth rushing into fixing just yet anyway lol
Fri13 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Best mirrors are in L-39 and Mi-8, those has very nice wide angle mirrors that you can actually use in BFM with others, as you can see what is happening behind you. Even the Su-25A had a very nice mirrors, but now it is as well very zoomed in and there is some odd obstacle block just front of the top mirror. Rest of the mirrors has gone from bad to terrible etc. All the time just changing all the time. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.
Harlikwin Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I noticed the reflections are really "jaggy" in those mirrors, moreso than other modules (F18). Not a huge deal, but its noticable.

AeriaGloria Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I always thought it was because of the displays. L-39 and Mi-8 can pack all their display pixels into little mirrors, but JF-17 has more MFD space then all other planes Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Bagpipe Posted January 10, 2020 Author Posted January 10, 2020 So we are now trading off basic/fundamental aspects of modules for more complex? Fair play but...mehh?
AeriaGloria Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 What would you do? You can see in the setting for cockpit display it’s limit is 1024 probably 1024x1024 pixels. It’s not like they maliciously cut mirror resolution, I’m not sure there is another way to implement such large MFDs. You can kind of also see the limit in planes with one or multiple mirrors. It is as if a display that stretches across all mirrors has to be rendered. I’m not a software person but I’m sure it would take some level of re writing the cockpit graphics aspect of DCS itself to change it to have high resolution mirrrors and MFD, and then you will have people saying their performance has tanked but aren’t willing to fly without mirrors. Unless something drastic changes in the core game very soon I don’t see it changing until Vulkan. One reason to look forward to that Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Bagpipe Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Perfectly understandable but in which case i refer to my comment on post #4 regarding the mirrors freezing the image when switched off. They need to fix this small aspect of it and then i am happy, personally not bothered about mirrors provided they at least a) fold away (yes) and b)turn black when switched off (no) :)
AeriaGloria Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 True, would be nice if possible Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
