I can't play here cause my FPS is 6 or less but a rear view mirror would be nice so instead of hitting reverse and not moving you may have an idea why you can't back up and which way you should turn to be able to back up.

These are just a tiny bit of all the threads regarding rear view.

The forums are already full of lame threads from lazy posters.

If we get this, I want one of these (for when I'm backing up in my Atlas)

PGI should make that into an MC-purchasable module. They'd make bank!

Mech pilots had 36o view around them as per battletech lore. But that sounds to much like 3rd person view and must be squashed.

Sorry if that sounds harsh, but the one with an attitude here is you. It is common sense that when you want to talk about a certain topic in a forum, you first look if there already is a thread talking about it. Granted, the search function in this forum is terribly bad, but in this rare case, it actually finds something useable. In this case, you would have found that the engine in it's current state does not allow for such a feature, for the same reason the 4x zoom module is so bad right now. People not taking those few seconds to look around first is the exact reason there are a dozen or more threads about the same topic, and you can't exactly blame people for getting fed up with it one day.

The posting etiquette for this very forum states:
"Has this been talked about in another thread? Possibly, in many other threads? Use the search function!"
Work on your behaviour instead of getting in the face of others who even went as far as pointing you to a number of helpful threads.

Ahaha. You're going to love this:

The reason there is no rear camera (or mirror, if you absolutely must; the in-game way to do it is the same) is for the same reason advanced zoom is broken. In order to have a second viewport, you would have to re-render the entire scene to display it, which means you would halve your framerate while the rear view was active.

Hey, at least TSA screener jobs pay well!
