Rear view mirror?

[Knarley-Bob]

On the P-51 D does it do anything (In this sim) besides create drag?

I'm lined up to use the gunsight, and it seems the mirror is useless, or am I missing something?

Thanks,

No Track IR or VR?  If so, then like me.  What I did is set my "up" view (Insert, Home, Page up, Page dawn, save with F10) on my Hat (Forward) so that I see behind me in the mirror, and somewhat above.  A compromise, yes, but it works fairly well.

I am using a Track IR. Is there a solution? Hoping so.......

I have tried to reset using those buttons, but nothing will change or move after hitting the F9. Anyway to unlock those?

The mirrors work in VR exactly as you'd expect in real life.

Have you looked into the mirror and said Candyman 3 times?

What do you mean with "useless"? Does the mirror not show any reflections? In that case there might be something wrong with your install.

 

Or do you mean it's pointed towards the wrong point or has a narrow view? You can change the mirror view by moving your head, just like you can in real life. In VR it works very well as a quick way to check your six; I suppose that goes for TrackIR too.

This is single handidly the best implementation of mirrors in any sim I know of, or experienced, they behave as one would expect.  Most other sims usually have weird effects like the reflection changes size as you draw closer or further to the mirror, not here, rock stable.  Never used mirrors as much as in this sim, they work exactly as they should, highly functional especially in VR, not just there for eye candy.

Nope, but I've seen him back there lobbing tracers in my direction a time or two.
