Nice!
for VP the mod works for 512 resolutions but when i try the 1024 i either get nothing but a mirror text or half of its actual size, if i change that to 2048 in the config it worked but the angle of the mirror is off it shows the back of seat only. i wonder if a minimum screen resolution is required because i use 1366x768p

So the mod is up and running

Tested on the MiG 15 and Helldiver - it works

How exactly can I add this to stock aircraft? I'm trying to add this to the TBF Avenger for example which us a stock aircraft

Where can I find the folder for the stock aircraft and install the 2 files?

Just a little lost this time

In this mod's root folder are a number of sub-folders for plane cockpits. You need only create a new folder, properly named for the desired cockpit, and copy/paste the two files from any one of the other cockpit folders into your new folder.

Of course, the cockpit must already have a mirror incorporated.

To get the correct cockpit folder name, you can start the Il-2 Selector, select the dump mode check box, start the game, load up the desired plane or planes for a quick flight, exit, de-select the Selector's dump mode, then look inside the dump folder that will have been created in your game's root folder.

Hi WxTech,

Is dump mode "Exit Selector when IL-2 Quits"?

I tried ticking this box, loading the game, flying the Avenger variants in QMB and then quitting the game

There is no 'dump folder' which you have mentioned

What exactly have I done wrong?

Thanks,

Hi..there is a box to tick in the selector s "change IL2 settings" which says Dump mode.
After you've finished the qmb mission, in your main game folder there should be a new file created called dump.

Hi,

I use Selector v3.1.1 on my VP Mod Game

There is no option whatsoever to select 'dump mode'

What version do you recommend I switch to?

Surely a new version would give me permission to tick that box

Thanks,

Don't give up too quickly.  ;)

1)  Make sure the mod sits above any other cockpit mods.

2)  In every one of the cockpit folders contained within, you will need to paste a copy of two files; mirror.tga and mirror.mat. Assuming the .tga is 1024 pixels (copied from the 1024_MIRROR_TEXTURE folder), write in the [Mods] section of your conf.ini...

3)  mirrorWidth=1024
mirrorHeight=1024


There will be the occasional plane whose cockpit folder is not included already. If you are flying such a plane, you will need to add a new folder for it, containing the pair of mirror files. You can ask hereabouts for the correct name of the cockpit folder for any plane you might need to add.

I've previously posted this, and there have been over 100 downloads...

Here's a ready to go install for B.A.T. 4.1.2 and later (I hope it's good for the very latest B.A.T.). The various cockpit folders all have the 1024 pixel texture present. The mod folder name should put it safely above any other cockpit mod in your mods folder. You need only add these two lines to the [Mods] section in conf.ini:

mirrorWidth=1024
mirrorHeight=1024

Your folder structure should look like this:

#WAW3
    ! ! ! CARSMASTER Hi Rez Mirrors BAT 4.1.2+
        3do
            Cockpit
                F4F-3\MIRROR.mat MIRROR.tga
                F4F-4\MIRROR.mat MIRROR.tga

and so on.

I have done everything as supposed but I get the same problem as expressed before by fresh... Am I doing something wrong?
