Notice anything... off? (notice how the engine is like, blocking the center rear view mirror, but nope you can see right through that
Shoot, if I remember correctly, this is an issue that isn't very easily resolved. I saw a forum post a while back from a dev a while back explaining why mirrors are kind of funky - I believe it had to do with multiple cameras? Moral of the story was that mirrors were going to stay the same, though, I believe. My apologies for the vague description, I tried to find the post but no dice.
beam's mirrors use the same reflections outside the vehicle, so they're kinda shitty. dont think anything can be done about it easily
It's to save on performance. Mirrors that reflect the vehicle they are on are very taxing on your computer. The less it has to reflect the better the performance
I think it's more to do with how the dynamic reflections are done; the entire car's reflection is only rendered from a center "camera", so even if you included the car in the reflection, the rear view mirror might work as you would expect, but the left and right outside mirrors will show the same reflection as the rear view mirror.
I was thinking more of the mirrors that have the picture in picture stuff. Arma 3 for example. IIRC it uses both a dynamic reflection system and a picture in picture system. The car body is not reflecting itself but the mirrors are "reflecting" the car.
Yea that'd actually be cool, if only we could have multiple reflection maps so the side mirrors are usable
