Amazing: Ilja's lights shader mod now has your car reflections in mirrors

[Mascot]

Apologies for the badly-worded thread title. I'm a little excited!
This is simply incredible in VR. Immersion goes off the scale.

Download the review51 version of Ilja's light patch
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachme...0168374293/lights-patch-v0.1.23-preview51.zip
(drag the zip file into CM)

In:
steam/steamapps/common/assettocorsa/extension/config/smart_mirror.ini
paste the following and save:
[REAL_MIRRORS]
ENABLED=1
SHOW_CAR=1

And you now will have the inside of the car and the rear window showing in your rear-view mirror, and the sides of the car showing in your wing mirrors. And if you are playing as God intended (VR) then.... the view in the mirrors will move when you move your head.
You know when, in real car, you lean forward to check your blind spots in your wing mirrors? Yep. That's now possible. BUT YOU CAN NOW SEE YOUR CAR IN THE REFLECTION TOO.
Amazing in tip-tops, amazing in open-tops.

The app for the in-game adjustments (including individual mirror adjustment L/R/U/D and FoV) is here:

(don't forget to tick it in Assetto Corsa -- Apps in CM settings)

Ilja is a bloody WARLOCK. He's starting to scare me now.

Thanks, I don't appear to have one, what should it look like and what should it's name be and contents?

create a folder called extension under %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg

Sorry for my ignorance, this works only with CM right?

Excellent works perfectly. Cheers

I'll have to try this and see the impact on CPU performance. Pcars2 also does this and it looks great.

thanks!

Does pCARS 2 reflect your own car in the mirrors, so the rear window/back seats are in the rear-view mirror and the sides of the car are visible in the wing mirrors? I must say I never noticed that in my pre-refund time with the game. It was a long time ago though.

I thought this was pretty much a first for sim racing mirrors?

Looking forward to installing this when I get back from the holiday! Looks great!

I tried it yesterday, very cool! The rearview mirrors finally behave as real rearview mirrors. The config file is a bit garbled (all in one line? I cleaned it up before adding the new lines).

Looks fantastic. And minimal FPS hit on my triples.

A lot of config files are like that and yeah, it's annoying. How hard would it be to hit 'return' once in a while when writing them?

Installed latest preview54, but mirrors app no longer works. Was working fine yesterday w/ preview51. Anyone tried it?

EDIT: Dang, default sets Real_Mirror to disabled.

Thanks for the direct link to the app! Where can I find it on Ilja's discord, in case there is an update some day?

I don't know if something changed in preview54 regarding the config files, but I found if you open them in Notepad++ they look very nice:

I think updates are normally posted in the #custom-shaders-discussion channel or the #updates channel.

Notepad, VS word pad

Notepad, VS word pad

Notepad vs almost any other text editor.

Very, very, very cool. And the fact that all mirrors can be adjusted to suit and saved for each car is brilliant.

Certainly adds to the immersion and no noticeable hit in VR either from what I can tell so far.

Huge credit to the developer!

Just a quick question - does it work online?

How do you save the mirror adjustments? I can't find any save feature, views reset each time I go back on track.
