Mirrors gray in Championship

The Iron Wolf · Nov 16, 2020

Hi,
I know it's a long shot - but maybe someone knows a cure. Enjoying F1 1994 mod, and weird problem I hit is that if I start a chamionship, side mirrors are gray. If I do Open Practice or Race Weekend - they work fine. Same track/car. Any hints? Cheers!

Strange indeed but just to be more complete: in championship when the mirrors are gray, do you have the virtual mirror active ?

It might maybe help to find the right answer

... as mirrors are always gray when choosing the virtual mirror in the options.

Thanks for trying to help

I never use virtual mirrors, and I did not do anything to enable them intentionally. But your hint suggested me that maybe Championship has separate setting for Virtual mirror, just as few other settings have, will check it out

Figured it out: reducing Opponent Detail from 3 to 2 fixes it.

Thanks for giving the solution .... this one doesn't seem obvious to find as ....
What have the driver's mirrors to do with Opponent details ?

it is another curiosity bug of RR/steam gtr2.exe : bug of mirrors where you can also see driver hands, bug of UI (no images)... these bugs do not exist in nocd GTR2.exe... but there are also bugs in nocd as non working swaying trees or no changing weather during a race

If only someday a gentle hacker would like to make a new GTR2.exe with the benefits of all available exe without all these bugs...

Paul - I believe driver hands can be fixed by adjisting mirror clipping planes in the .plr.

I can only speak for myself here - I intend to fix some bugs and even add a few features, but I have to be clear that it is unlikely that other exe's will get supported, and my priorities may not match everyone's. So with luck, some things will get better in Steam .exe world, but not all of them.
