Hi guys. I compiled another cars file with cars 2017, but I have the view of all the mirrors in reverse. What can I do to have them properly?
Thank you.

in reverse in what way, is left the right etc ? how about a picture !
normally you can change the the mirrors with gp4 builder under edit and invert the x or y co-ordinates but i am unsure what way you need these changes .

You are right. I will take a picture. Anyway, I see everything turned upside down in the mirrors. To be clear, cars have wheels at the top.

Open your car_lod in the gp4buider , go to rear_mirror and left mirror objects and invert the x or y co-ordinates as Munnzy said . The problem will be fixed doing this

10 seconds per each car load , 5 minutes you fix all cars from the grid

true you only need to fix the mirrors on lod_0 for each car 1 and car 2
May seem like a big job but when you have done a couple you will be flying.

1. Open the Gp4builder , go to z_cockpit_left_mirror and double click on it , as the image below





2. One click on the the x or y co-ordinates box , as the image below





3. Repeat the same procedure for the right mirror

4. Done , the mirrors are inverted


BTW , there is no problem with the Ferrari mirrors , just use it as an example (Y)

I have a different problem with the mirrors: they are reversed, meaning the right mirror is on the left and vice versa. What should I do in gp4builder to fix the problem? Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to give me a hand.

Rename the z_left_cockpit_mirror to z_right_cockpit_mirror and vice versa in gp4builder.

Many thanks, I solved it, even if renaming the mirrors didn't solve the problem. Then I tried the horizontal flip command and everything worked fine. Now the mirrors are in the right place. Thanks again for your interest, people like you who, in addition to sharing spectacular works, are always ready to lend a hand to those who have little knowledge of the subject, make this community truly special.
