Truck side mirrors show interchanged images, mirrored images not correct.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In the latest Dev branch, you can try out new vehicles like the truck.

The side mirrors display interchanged images. The left mirror shows the image from the right mirror and the right mirror shows the image of the left. I attached some images, where you can see the issues.

The next thing is, that the mirrored image is "recorded" from the trunk/rear of the truck and not from the position of the actual mirror position. You can see that issue at the attached pictures too. {F21875} {F21876} {F21877} {F21878}

This is because the images are not mirrored so it appears that they are reversed. This was already reported.

I already know that problem AD2001. But in some vehicles, the mirrors work as they do like in reality. That is a vehicle specific problem, I reported today.

I think there are only 1 or 2 mirrors in the game that work correctly and it doesnt get any better with the new vehicles. Sometimes the image isnt mirrored correctly, sometimes it doesnt show the correct perspective, sometimes the mirror is oriented incorrectly and sometimes it doesnt even have the pip-functionality. Oh and in some vehicles you cant even see the mirrors from the driver seat. And last but not least some vehicles dont even have mirrors.

@Fennecus Mirrors seem to be _very_ difficult to implement ;)
