Title. Is this intentional? Can't think of a reason why.

not necessarily intentional, but a side-effect of the mirrors using one rendering view. Because the virtual mirror has a wide aspect ratio, the mirror rendering FOV has to be widened to fit

I assume it's done to save resources then? Not really an issue since I've only just noticed it, but I did think to myself that it would be nice to have it with a normal FOV.

yes, rendering an extra view like the rearview mirror is basically like rendering the game a second time for our engine, so it gets really expensive!

Good to know, will experiment with turning off the virtual mirror on cars that have one already 🙂 Thanks!

#

Can't believe I only just discovered this 😄

indigo flax yes, rendering an extra view like the rearview mirror is basically like renderin...

but you can duplicate the mirror picture and cut and resize it to fit the proper FOV of the in-car mirror

#

that would be an option, but you would have terrible resolution

#

i'd probably prefer just lowering the aspect ratio of the virtual mirror 😄
