phoenix599 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 It would be neat if we could click on the three mirrors in-cockpit to toggle them on/off independantly versus having to check a box under game setup (I believe).:) W7Ux64|i7 980X @ 4.14GHz|12GB RAM|EVGA Classified Mobo|2 EVGA OC'd GTX 580's in SLI|Dell U3011 @ 2560x1600|Assorted HDD's @ 7.2 & 10K (no SSD)|TM HOTAS Warthog|Saitek Combat Pro Rudders|TrackIr 5|Logitech G-13|Logitech G510|Logitech G700
213 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 why? if the option is available in the options, use that. "it would be neat" isn't a good reason.
PeterP Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 No - its not so easy, 213 . phoenix599 is asking for the possibility to switch on/off the mirrors while in cockpit-view. and not just using the snap-views. or to move them.. What do you mean exactly? - please elaborate.
average_pilot Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 What do you mean exactly? - please elaborate.It's evident he's asking for the ability to adjust then as you would with the real ones.
PeterP Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) OK- here is a uneducated guess why this isn't possible in DCS right now: first: we see that using the snap-views for mirrors -even if mirrors are switched of - is working... But we cant do this in "default cockpit view"... So I get the conclusion that DCS will have to render the image of the Mirrors all the time in a view-port - even we don't see them... - so the option to switch mirrors off isn't implemented ,because - people with weaker GPU don't have to suffer from this- and they can switching them on/off in the options menu. But (looking at the evolution of Lock-On to DCS) this isn't contemporary any more... So: To overcome this restriction I think that there has to be incorporated a second "default cockpit view+mirrors" . so we are able to switch between this view-ports. Making them "moveable" will mean this second view-port of the mirrors has always be rendered as an invisible layer - and the system will be suffer the same as they are shown all the time - so it will be obsolete ( to move them only to save performance ) It's evident he's asking for the ability to adjust then as you would with the real ones. I'm just asking because I learned what might be evident for you and me ... is not always the same for others. - so I think its better to ask two times before answering once. -see post #3 Edited February 17, 2012 by PeterP
