sit in the drivers seat

[bagged123]

Is there a way to actually sit in the drivers seat, so you can you use both mirrors and get a full windshield view? The view is sort of like that but you have to have the pass. mirror in the upper right corner of the windshield.

I think there is a mod to increase the field of view so it encompasses both mirrors, but it makes the dash tiny and hard to read.

You can adjust your mirror views and seat, cant remember what key brings it up, I know when you hit ecs youll see the adjustment seat you can click.
I had to bring my seat up and back a bit, no mirrors in view and a little higher feel for me.
Gonna look and will post back for ya.

Hit F4 a few times.

Yeah its f4, but even in a real truck seat you have to turn your head to see out of the mirrors, you can see a little out of the drivers using you peripheral vision

one reason why I can't wait for oculus, more realistic field of view wtihout the need of having 3 monitors

You *are* sitting in the driver's seat. The driver sits in the left seat, *exactly* where your in-game PoV is. You can't 'see' the passenger side mirror in the real vehicles either without turning your head to look in that direction.

I don't think you can realistically do what you want. In the real vehicle, you have to tun your head to check the off-side mirror just like you have to in-game. In the game, the FoV you'd need so that you could see both mirrors in your forward view would be so high as to be practically unplayable (assuming a simple single monitor setup), with horrendous image distortion.

To do what you want, you're going to need to invest in either a multi-monitor setup, a head-tracking system or VR.

Get the small mirror mod. It's up in the corner like normal, but about 1/2 the size...

F2 to pop up the extra side mirrors works for me, your not gonna get the right mirror into view without having a rap around strange view in cab I think. Not sure though. Good luck.

I Know U can get the Mod In ETS
But No such Mod for ATS or am I missing something in your Help Post

I've never sat in a truck and been able to see both mirrors without turning my head, and in fact in some older trucks you have to turn your head to see the driver's side mirror. It ain't a Civic.

With the seat all the way back.

if you don't like to have the mirror in your upper corner, turn your head to look at the mirror like you do in real life

That only works if you have a multimonitor setup with an extra wide field of view.
