i guess you can't even please half of the people half of the time! this was possibly the biggest 'want' from peoples wish list for icr2, ie some way of knowing where the guy beside you is. _________________________________________________________ Harrier Storage Solutions Legato NetWorker 42 Ivanhoe Road, Finchampstead AMASS, Baydel Berkshire, RG40 4QQ EuroLogic, Banyan http://www.harrier.com HP, IBM, Sun, DEC Uk Phone 1734 328 282 SG, NT, Novell Fax 731 130 _________________________________________________________

Directly to the left & right of the***pit. Of course you can now use the spiffy "ARCADE" view option. Since there is no PADLOCK or scrolling***pit type view, you can only look directly ahead, or in the mirrors. The left & right views are left to luck and improved AI. IMHO...

Here's a neat trick with mirrors for you... Turn your car completely around and face oncoming traffic. If you watch your mirrors, you'll see the cars directly IN FRONT OF YOU. I noticed this on the demo version on the Laguna Seca track. Mike

BTW, I think Papyrus got it *RIGHT ON* with the mirrors. No more guessing if an AI car is beside you or not. Now if only I could get them to stop driving into me.....

The super mirrors were added to make up for your lack of peripheral vision. since in the sim you can't turn your head and see if someone has a front wheel up on your sidepod, the mirrors let you know if it is safe to turn in.
