Mirrors field of view and angle.

[Fri13]

I find it odd that unlike in hornet, mirrors in Hog are very narrow by their field on view.

and as well the mirrors are pointing at odd angeles, like the top mirror doesn't show to rear but almost 25-30 degrees upwards (approximate to see a horizon while climbing in altitude).

 

IMHO the mirrors are pretty much useless as you are seeing top of the wings and then not even backwards, limited seriously by the mirrors FOV.

 

comparing it to cockpit videos, they should have wider field of view and be angled more to show rear hemisphere.

Totally agree, the way it is, is useless.

+ 1. That's why I toggle the mirrors up, when I'm entering the cockpit. They are simply useless.

It would be great if we could adjust the mirrors. Especially for warbirds, and especially in VR where everyone's seated heights are going to be different.

+1 I've always wanted to be able to adjust the mirrors. Seems like we could left click to fold the mirrors down, right click to fold the mirrors up, and use the scroll wheel (CW/CCW) to 'pivot' the mirrors for adjustment.

 

Side note: I've always wanted to be able to do this with the interior flood lights in the cockpit as well.

+1 on the floodlights. I believe the Harrier has that feature.
