Want your old N1 style mirror back?

I was just messing around with Nascar2's track.txt files, and found the REMed out lines at the end of nwenglnd.txt. It turns out that if you remove the REM, you get a mirror that is very similar to the original mirror in Nascar1. You can add these lines to the end of the other track.txt files to have the mirror at those tracks as well. I'm not quite sure what the ranges of the variables are, but you should be able to adjust the mirror's magnification and field of view. With this mirror you have no blind spot, but you can't tell the distance to cars beside you. There has got to be a happy medium with a smaller bind spot that still allows you to determine the distance to other cars.

I have done this to all of my track files and am really happy with it. Blake
