As I'm sure every F12K player knows by now, mirrors exact a large framerate penalty in the game. What you might not realize is, they cost framerate even when you are in a view where they are _not visible_! So, if you are watching a replay, or a race after you retired, and are using the TV or other external view, try switching to in-cockpit, hit "R" to toggle off the mirrors, then go to whichever view you prefer. Shoddy programing?

Well, i think it's becaues of the big TV-screens around the track. They also show the "rearview" and can also be turned on/off with "R". <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws 8cou06$7050$[email hidden]... > As I'm sure every F12K player knows by now, mirrors exact a largeframerate > penalty in the game.
