phoenix599 Posted February 17, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
213 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 why? if the option is available in the options, use that. "it would be neat" isn't a good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted February 17, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
average_pilot Posted February 17, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted February 17, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
