    Hi folks. Im on the latest build downloaded just yesterday. I looked through some old posts for a fix but found nothing.
    Mirrors were working fine yesterday but today I have either black or grey mirrors. Any fix out there ?

    Maybe it's a stupid question, but have you tried the "3" key?

    Hi Tosch,

    Yes. The free mirrors work fine but the cockpit mirrors are black :-(

    What version of mods are you running, and is it just affecting the historics? If so, you might have out of date rfmods, which should be deleted and replaced with the rfcmps you can now download from our downloads page.

    Thanks TW - I'll try that. I downloaded all the new mods yesterday (342) and it was working ok. Tonight I fired it up and no mirrors.

    The only files I have which are doubled up are the tracks. EG Belgium V1 (in use by 1 mod) and Belgium V 143. But when I try to delete V1 the prompt tells me the file is in use by another mod ?

    Hi TW, The mirrors on the new cars are ok. I must have an old file in there needing to be deleted. The only file in the mods window for historics is "1960's World Class Racing 1.0". I dont have an updated file for that one is the folder. Is that packaged in with 342 or is it a different download?

    There's your problem that's an old mod using outdated content (hence the black mirrors), uninstall it.

    You're using rfmod files that were dropped and removed rather than newer rfcmp files that have newer versions of things. Rfmod files require other rfmod files to work, rfcmp files work independently.
