    Hi!
    My mirrors (left, right and virtual) are not shown with the correct aspect ratio, see virtual mirror in the screenshot. As you can see it is compressed in the vertical direction. Happens only for March 761. Okay in all other cars, including the Brabham BT 44. Any ideas how this irritating problem can be resolved?

    Have a look in the mirror guide, linked in my sig.
    It might just be a zoom adjustment.
    Have you already tried to adjust them or is that how they were the first time in the car?

    I found your excellent guide yesterday. Unfortunately, zoom out/in with ctrl+shift+up/down doesn't change the aspect ratio. The problem was there from the first time in the car. Checked the file "all_vehicles.ini" and it looks okay.

    Edit: Actually, before trying anything below, go in-game to Options / Video Res and try combinations on/off of Widescreen HUD and Stretch UI

    Ok.
    So in the all_vehicles, find the offending car/skin/s and delete and then paste these default lines, so long as the other F1 cars of that mod have these same default values.

    FOV=0
    Seat=(10.000,10.000)
    SeatPitch=99.00
    RearviewSize=(-10.000,-10.000)
    Mirror=(10.000,10.000)
    MirrorPhysical=(0.000,0.000,0.000)
    MirrorLeft=(0.000,0.000,1.000)
    MirrorCenter=(0.000,0.000,1.000)
    MirrorRight=(0.000,0.000,1.000)

    If that doesn't work, change this to "true" in your player.JSON
    "Rearview Independent":false,
    "Rearview Independent#":"Whether width (horizontal FOV) can be controlled independently of height (vertical FOV)",

    Then I think the Ctrl +Shift + seat movement alters the vert and hori FOV.

    Combinations of on/off of Widescreen HUD and Stretch UI did not solve the problem, nor did a manual reset to default values in all_vehicles. Since no-one else seem to have the same problem, and I only encounter the problem with this mod, I will try to reinstall the mod before I attempt your suggestions for the player.JSON file,

    It looks the same for me and i would say, that it can only be solved with a better mapping of the mirrors and not with any settings.

    You're not the only one with problems. Did an online race yesterday, around 12 people: we all had our mirrors messed up, both with the March and the Brabbham. One of us was amazed cause it was fine the day before on the same track when he practiced, and he didn't change a thing!

    That's interesting @alexSchmurtz

    I just tried both cars very quickly.
    The March had the problem mirrors but the Brabham was OK.

    I have found the problem, it is a wrong sized mirror texture.
    The march has a mirror.bmp with the size 1024x256 included.
    The proper size, that the game uses, is 1024x64 and the wrong height of the texture causes the in the width strechted appearance of the cars in the virtual mirrors.
    And the mapping of the 76 and 77 mirrors is different too.
    What i, besides of that, don't understand is, why for example the mirrors are not splitted, to get them moveable.
    It is a new released car, so why it don't gets all available features?

    Good find @Bernd
    My March, as you said, is 1024x256 which is the same as the picture @optimal.lap posted and the left and right mirrors could not be independently adjusted.
    My Brabham which looks fine is 2048x128 and the left and right mirrors could be independently adjusted.

    Did someone reported this bug officially? Is there any indication of a fix from a S397?
