    Long time lover of the rfactor2 game......mostly post on the steam forums for the hell of it.

    Either way there are a few things I have questions on but I'll start here.

    Was able to finally figure out how to make the mirrors display everything behind me(should be default like this) but now I'm into changing all the other player.json file to get the max out of my graphics card.

    this is what it looks like so far with the graphics tweeks I have done.

    "Self In Rearview":"",
    "Self In Rearview#":"Empty for nothing, * for everything, otherwise list comma-delimited instances you want _removed_",

    I'd love seeing my own car/driver in the rear view mirror as this guy did
    https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/self-view-in-mirrors-why-not.55756/


    I've tried changing it from ":"" to "*"" and it messes up the file so the game loads a default one

    what am i doing wrong there?


    as I said anything else I can change below please feel free to do so and repost the graphics options......then everyone could go this way to get the best visusual detail possible.

    Change "Self In Rearview":"", to
    "Self In Rearview":"*",

    thank you.

    for an example - what about that Wind and Crowd motion - right now it's at false, does this mean it's disabled but there is a way to enable it? I think I tried true but the player.json crashed while starting the game up...anything else I can tweak to get the most out of my graphics card?

    what a tease should be a good addition....what about anything else in the graphics that I might be able to change?
