[SA] Minor but huge feature with cars

[purplish 70]

I think that is the standalone would have rear-view mirrors and side view mirrors working in cars it would be very helpful for those who drive in first person and cars whose back is blocked by a tarp or other things. In Arma 2 they do not work and show a fuzzy image. A few games now a day have it (e.g. Bf3, far cry 3 ect.

edit: Rocket just replied to me on reddit, it is already a feature in the current engine for the stand alone

Could work out good for the servers that disable 3rd person view.

Tottaly agree, huge feature indeed, that adds the bit missing in vehicle realism.

One thing I would like to add to this is that having working mirrors in houses and elsewhere might be good way of making it possible to visually detect certain diseases on your character. Aside from the obvious boil-inducing diseases, just having your character go visibly pale (if you're caucasian) when he is about to catch a flu could work as a warning for players that something is off about their avatar.

Thoughts?

This should be very plausible if the engine already supports mirrors. I play only in 1st person because I feel that 3rd person totally breaks my immersion, so this would be a very essential feature for me.

Nice idea. Have some beans.

or you could find a small mirror to carry with you (so you can fix your makeup from time to time :))

full reflections usually have a heavy impact on performance, but if they managed to get it in cars, i believe they can do it for other stuff.

probably so you can't see more then one mirror at the same time.

Yep since this feature is useless on 3P servers...
