I'd be curious to know if anyone running the latest B.A.T. is also using this mod to good effect. I'm still stuck in B.A.T. 4.0, and so can't test beyond this.

My install is the latest BAT 4.2.2  hotfix 4, If you need to test anything I can do it

[Epervier]

Your folder structure should look like this:

#WAW3
    ! ! ! CARSMASTER Hi Rez Mirrors BAT 4.1.2+
        3do
            Cockpit
                F4F-3\MIRROR.mat MIRROR.tga
                F4F-4\MIRROR.mat MIRROR.tga

It's a very strange way of going about things.
There are 31 folders in your archive.
Each folder contains the file "MIRROR.tga" which weighs 3Mb.
3Mb x 31 = 93Mb
It would be so much "lighter" to put this texture in one folder (3do\Cockpit\Textures) and modify all the ".mat" files in the 31 folders.
  TextureName ..\Textures\mirror.tga

That would be just 3Mb instead of 93! 
It's just a comment because I'm in favour of slimming down the weight of IL-2.

Gabriel,
I did think along those lines, but for the time being I'm just supplying things in the fashion carsmaster did.  This is not my work originally.

I agree much better to modify the mat files instead of repeating the same texture

Hi!

Tested version linked by WxTech and got it working flawless!

My installation is BAT422HF4 and this mod load as the first of the list....

I also do use 4.2.2 hotfix 4
But i do have some problems with other planes (like Corsair F4U and English planes).
For those troubled planes i do see the mirror form, but i see the Text "Mirror" in it and the text is upside down. So i cannot see anything behind me 
I am still trying to find out if some mod is in conflict and what it is.

Hi Elot,
Have you check that your Carsmaster Hi-Rez Mirrors mod 3do\Cockpit folder contains the folder named as the cockpit folder of the plane you want ?
If you do not know what name it is, I suggest you to launch Il2 in Dump mode, fly your plane, then quit the game.  Then look for the plane cockpit folder in the dumped 3do/Cockpit folder and use this name for the folder to put in the Hi-Rez mirrors mod.
I hope to be clear on how to proceed

Best regards

Thanks for the tip.
I don't know how to get IL2 in dump mode, but i do see that there are several F4U versions in BAT, so i now add those names to the mod and copy the mat files etc.
Will come back and tell how it went.

This is what I get.

This was entered in the conf:

[Mods]

mirrorWidth=1024
mirrorHeight=1024

[WxTech]

Inside the mom's folder are a number of cockpit folders. Make sure you have a folder named

F4F-3

Inside this folder will be at least the file

MIRROR.mat

It can be copied from any other folder; all MIRROR.mat files are identical.

If you're using the original mod structure (as opposed to my alteration in which I placed the .tga files Inside a new folder named Mirror_tex), you'll need the texture file appropriate to the resolution you want to enjoy. If you like the 1024 pixel sizing, then you need to put MIRROR_1024.tga Inside either the F4F-3 folder (along with MIRROR.mat).

I'll try that too. Thanks
