Any chance of a Virtual RearView mirror?

Turning the virtual mirror option on games like AC doesn't affect FPS in any significant way, since it's the same image the regular mirrors already display, it doesn't need to be rendered twice you know.
I'd be surprised if that's strictly true, as wing mirrors and rear view mirrors are all set at different angles, plus there's a blind spot behind you that wing mirrors don't show you at all.

My best guess is no virtual mirror since it's been all quiet on the codies front from when it was forwarded to them.

It's been in a previous build has it not, most of us can't see the existing mirrors regardless of whether they are rendered or not. It covered their nice sky that I rarely use to help see what's behind so it's just dead space to me. Plus Jeff can get the weather wrong just as well as I can only looking at the sky, so... 

Have an Option to enable Virtual Rear Mirror which so disables the mirrors we can't use anyway?

Not another "will we get a functioning safety car" thread surely  ;)
If they are doing some eSports stuff later in the season, people are gonna need mirrors that work.

Cockpit viewing the mirrors with the look left / right buttons mapped just takes practise, are you going to be as fast or is it going to be as easy as t cam with proximinty arrows NO hence why 99% of streamers drive in t cam all assits all over the screen, even though they label thier streams as no assits, its a assit making the game easyier for you.
Using buttons to look left and righ is one thing but have the buttons to available to be able to do that is another story all together?

I hate driving in T-Cam. It feels so unnatural and makes the game feel more arcade than Sim. I have an F1 style rig ans Fanatec gear. To me it just feels wring to have spent all this money on all this equipment only to then drive in T-Cam. May as well just sit back on the couch and use a controller. 
How many buttons do you have your wheel ?, if you want SIM some games you need to comprise depending on the options avaible to you, id love to be able to race online but with no option to force cockpit its just a un level playing field racing t cam drivers.
I have the Fanatec PS4 P1 Wheel at the moment. I also have a McLaren GT3 wheel but it’s faulty and trying to get it sorted it out. Eventually if Condemasters fully support that wheel on PS4 where we can use the Rotary switches/dials then it won’t be an issue. But currently, I feel like mapping buttons to ERS control, fuel mix, pit limiter, controlling MFD, DRS are more important.

I love your idea of being able to force ‘Cockpit’ view for online races. That would be awesome if we could do that. 
Condemasters :D
