mirror arms

[rodnanne]

the mirror arms need to be more forward on the ANTHEM we are driving the truck from the bed if you need to see out ov the mirrors ...the VOLVO...and the INTERNATIONAL.....without turning your heard......or can you make it an option in the mirror adjustment.....thank you....rollon

Use front side mirrors? Pretty sure that's how the truck is gonna be forever lol

Why is the default FOV set at 65 in the Mack Anthem ???? I had to move the FOV up 85 and shift the seat two notches to the left to even see the drivers side mirror !!

I want to love this truck, but between the teeny little motor and unusable mirrors it's dead on arrival for me. That's a genuine shame because they nailed the look inside and out. Fantastic looking rig.

The mirror position does bother me a little bit. I use the mouse to look around, so if I want to look in the driver side mirror my hand is off the shifter. So typically I have been mostly using the hood mirrors.

@jasonbarron
In real life that's not a teeny little motor, it's normal.

Just did a delivery in the Anthem and I feel like I was looking left the whole time... Just a really different set up, thats all.

The Mack cabin is not very wide, so the mirror arms need to be longer. Otherwise one could only see the trailer front. Easy as that.

There you go. @kimo has the facts!

In a game with 600 hp motors available it doesn't make sense to bother with one that small. Unless you run small loads, I suppose.

My drivers side settings for the mirror:

FOV 85
Seat one notch Left
Seat one notch back
Then with your mouse adjust your view slightly to the Left and i have a good view of the mirror.

Don't have a problem at FOV 90, I use that default for most trucks.

Highly recommend this mod for anyone who is not happy with the mirror placements & FOV; it only changes the interior view so the truck still looks stock from the outside. Reset your view to default after activating it and you should be a happy camper :)

Thank you. That mod is a lifesaver. I thought I was going to have to give up on the Mack altogether as it felt like I was sitting in the bunk just to see the mirror.

lol, go easy, the devs are not from the U.S. So they do not know this...This is how the mirrors are from EST2. Just go to the adjustments and push that POV up to 81 and that seat all the way back...

It's not because they are from Europe, it's because the mirrors are this way, in real life, on the Mack truck. They didn't just freehand a model, they used the exact specs from Mack.
