Toca rear view mirrow

In my humble this game is unplayable without a rear view mirrow!!!!!! Tony

Hi Anthony. Yes not the best eh!. You probably realise this but just in case, you can configure a button or key so when you press on it it gives your rear view, not the best eh maybe the old patch in the sky will add one eh :-) >In my humble this game is unplayable without a rear view mirrow!!!!!! >Tony

Philip Thanks, I knew about the back view ok. It's only that every time I check it I end up crashing:-) Happy new year, Tony

Well, count your blessing, this game runs slowly as it is, with a rear view mirror it would be even worse. I kinda like the rear view anyhow, got it set up as a button on my Formula 1 wheel, very nice.

I kinda like the rear view anyhow, got it set >up as a button on my Formula 1 wheel, very nice. I find the rear view in TOCA very usable, switching between the views is fast enough. If only F1RS had a rear view available, I hate the tiny mirrors :(. -- /sami

I have to disagree with you on that one. I would contend that the way rear-view is simluated in TOCA is actually a fairly reasonable depiction of what your eyes would see if you scanned the interior and both external rear vision cars in a car of that type. The absence of any of your own bodywork/internal cagework in the view does make it less obstructed than reality but I don't think that you can slam the "arcade" tag on TOCA for its implementation of rear vision.

Nick, Your right (again, I agreed with you down the page). It isnt an arcade, but I would like to see a rear view mirror. Mike Williams

[snip] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Now you know how Arnoux allways felt ;-) Bart

Mike Sure thing, I do agree that the option for an in car rear vision mirror should be in TOCA (just like I wish the TOCA-type rear view was available in N2 !). I do like TOCA a lot but I can see that the things that are missing are going to see it being a game that has a finite life rather than sims like N2 and ICR2 that just go on forever. Given that Codemasters are looking to release a rally sim based on the same engine sometime mid-year, I guess that we'll never see the improvements in TOCA that it needs to get better broad support. That's a real shame. I guess NASCAR2+The Pits Touring Car patch is out there and although I haven't tried that route yet, it could offer a longer term option for the non-open wheel sim racing fraternity (me included !). Cheers, Nick

Are you sure that Arnoux ever used the mirrors ? I must have missed that race ;-) Nick

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What is that ??? I have been out of circulation for a while. And that sounds really interesting !! Regards Lars ___________________________________ Remove the obvious to mail me.

Hi, I have purchased the full version of TOCA, Touring Car Championship and installed the full version. I have downloaded the new patch from codemasters website (patchefg.exe version) and installed it, the problem is that after i've installed the patch, it seems to have converted it to the network version and i have only the option to join a session, i cannot start a new game or continue a save game anymore. I've tried installing the game again and then installing the patch but the same problems occurs. I have a 133 pentium, 24 Mb ram and a diamond viper v330 video card. Someone told me there is a way to get around this problem and advised me to come to this newsgroup. I have emailed codemasters but they don't seem to respond I hope someone can help me with this problem.
