rear mirrors in cockpit view extrem low resolution

[Tobias Liesaus]

Hi, my mirrors in cockpit view are very low resolution. it looks really ugly... is this normal or only on my system? and is there a mod to increase the mirror resolution.

 

[Victor Ivanov]

Well first of all I think you should have told us your system and the level of details you used.

 

[Tobias Liesaus]

oh sorry... details all maxed out. 1920x1080

Win7 64 bit
i5 2500K
2x 6870
8 GB Ram

crossfire enabled or disabled make no difference..

Did this from day on as it looked horrible as you said.
Open up the hardware_settings_config.xml thats in your documents folder with wordpad or notepad and look for 'mirrors enabled' line.
copy and paste this :-

<mirrors enabled="true" forceBilinear="false" width="2048" height="512" car_maxlod="0" car_culldist="500.0" />


and then obviously save it.

 

[Tobias Liesaus]

Thank you very much! it worked

 

[Carl Hughes]

I'm gonna try this too Does anyone know any other tweaks to make the game look even better using this file?

Interesting, because I have that setting by default .....

Really? I have everything on ultra where possible and mine was 1024 256 with car_maxlod=1

Yup ..... really

That's why i ticked NobbyMilo's post as informative, I thought 'sounds like a nice little tweak'. When I opened the file it was there already. It looks like @Mike Partington is the same, as he ticked 'Agree'; above

Yep, that is my setting by default too. I thought exactly the same. The mirrors are most definitely useable and a reason why I haven't changed my cam to be much further forward this year.

 

[Tobias Liesaus]

hmm, strange... no wonder no one else complained about this. My settings in this file were:

<mirrors enabled="true" forceBilinear="true" width="512" height="128" car_maxlod="3" car_culldist="200.0" />

 

[Mr Pibb]

Thanks NobbyMilo. I had same settings as Tobias despite monster graphics card, triple screens, maxed out settings etc - but low res mirrors. Thought it was supposed to be that way tbh since no one else had complained.

But it's sweeeet now!

 

[Daniel Lee]

Likewise thought the mirrors were how they were supposed to be.
Great tweak!

WOW! Thanks a million for really saving my $50+ hard-earned investment in this million-flawed product!! Their ego engine is absolute crap at detecting GPU-cards capabilities!

Look at that awful junk I had in my hardware_settings_config.xml file:

<mirrors enabled="false" forceBilinear="true" width="256" height="64" car_maxlod="4" car_culldist="0.0" />

No wonder I had to go the the game's graphics settings each time (so annoying), and STILL get ugly jaggies in all cockpit-view mirrors, thanks to Ignorancemasters' bs...

You saved my gaming experience! I should have sent my money to you instead of these know-nothing narcissists!

KUDOS!!

Unfortunatly on PS3 I can't modify anything and the rear mirrors are awfull.... Same for the reflection of my engineer on the nose of my F1 when I get out of the pits... It amazes me that they didn't get it right....
