I was looking back at some of the first beamng videos on cryengine and noticed that the side mirrors could dangle about without detaching from the vehicle. Check out 1:45 on the linked video. I think the dangly side mirrors were cool and realistic. They were also detachable like they are now. I suppose it would be easy to implement? While I'm at it i would also like to make another suggestion: detachable windscreens. It would solve the warping glass issue. Many mods already have them. These two suggestions are probably a breeze for the developers to implement. I apologise for any mistakes since this is my first post although I've lurked here without an account since the creation of the forum. Thanks.
it would be harder than you think. it would be alot of work nd development, glitches, and collision issues. although these ideas may seem cool, they would be alot moe complicated than you think... sorry.
Well, considering they already had this in the first version I assumed it would be easy. I think it may have something to do with the parts detaching code of the side mirrors or something. --- Post updated --- Really? I have never seen it happen. Strange.
what? how do you even come up with these things? while the graphics engine has changed the physics engine is the same so it cant be harder to do than it was back then. for every single suggestion on this forum the answers are always the same. "its impossible" or "it would be way too much work" or the good old "it would make the game run like shit" which i can understand in many cases. but this is such a simple feature that there is no reason to believe it is more complicated than for example having a door or the hood pop open in crashes (which already happens).
Around 3:30, I get nicely vibrating mirror I guess mirrors are kinda strong, but wouldn't want them fell off too easily either.
