RV Mirrors

[Puffy Sandvich]

Topic: Add a bar to your HUD when in a car in first person.



Short explanation (in notes):
-Add a bar to the top of your screen as your "rearview mirror"

Detailed description (why should it become added/...):
Currently there is no way to see behind your car without toggling 3rd person which is unrealistic.



Optional additions:
-Remove 3rd person from cars.
-Make it an option in the options menu.

I see no issues with this suggestion and it would increase realism on the server, slightly.
This suggestion has my support until any other points are rasied.

+Support from me... Don't really need a reason why except it would avoid a lot of accidents and stopping the habit of using 3rd person to look behind you.

Also, I do REALLY think 3rd person should be removed, that way people dont have a "Spidey Sense" For accidents or muggins etc.

Well, I don't think 3rd person should be removed completely, first person driving can become annoying and cause more accidents.

This idea is all well and good if you have a good PC, but think about the amount of times you have been crashed into and the response you get is:
R4nd0mSwe4ter [LOOC]: Sorry, lag
Now imagine the amount of times that's happened and multiply it by 100. Having to force players PCs to render what they can see but to also render a part of their screen to look behind them at the same time, correct me if i am wrong but i can see this making a lot of people lag.

On one hand I really like this idea as for its usefulness but on the other it may take up too much of your screen and when you do go into third person you would still have it being a nuisance. I like the third person on the vehicles and don't think it should be removed, also while we are at it what about the wing mirrors? The only way I would see this adding more roleplay is if it was part of the vehicle which would take far too much work.

We'll look into it, but it will probably just kill your FPS
