from the often expressed "purist" point of view, when ya think about it NOT having mirrors on planes that IRL had them is actually just as bad as not getting the FM or performance right..

I use TIR and ironically instead of it being an advantage it is quite the opposite when having to check my 6.. so of course im ALL for adding them..

as for the "performance hit" I dont want to come across as being crass, rude or not understanding..

BUT

AH is far far from what one would considering a "demanding" game as far as what is required to run it at acceptable levels.. if your in a situation where your barely able to run the game at a mid resolution (1024x768) it is TIME TO UPGRADE.. for gods sake your pumping $15 a month into this game for How long now? might aswell run it in all its glory..

here.. drink a few beers, whip out that credit card and go here..

you may wak up regretting what you did last night when you were drunk.. but if your like me.. it wont be the first time

Mirrors won't make any difference when a good pilot is on your 6...

perhaps (or not) but at least you get to watch the carnage properly

I think that may explain why AW could put a rear view mirror in the cockpit but not in here. Huge difference in graphic resources required to run Aces High.

But, that is just my guess. I could be wrong. I was wrong once before... I thought I had made a mistake, but I was wrong. LOL

AW's graphic detail in the 3D version was considerable, given the computer processors and vid. cards available 7 years ago. Aces High doesn't require that many resources to run, given today's processors and the incredibly fast graphics cards (with plenty of memory) that go into them.

I see no evidence of a performance hit in IL-2 while using the same machine that I play Aces High with. Both games are smooth as silk.

But all of this is moot anyway. There is no way that we will get a mirror view in Aces High. Too bad. It would REALLY add to the immersion experience.
