Reflections on bonets of cars aren't "real" reflections. Have you guys noticed that for example sometimes on the bonet you see a reflection of a tree and then it suddenly vanishes ? Also, certain places where there are trees on one side of the road, in the reflection, it seems there are threes on both sides of the road.

That's because the devs want you to use the in car view tonguegre

and sometimes the reflections move in the opposite direction of what they should. inverted reflections.

drive past a tree... the reflection moves from the back of the car to the front as you drive past it.
if that makes sense.

Trust me they are real, park under swaying tree in the F430 and look behind you and watch the tree reflection sway in the wind also. They are however backwards when in car and out the car, drive upto a sign and it will show ok on the front but will be mirrored when looking behind you. It's strange in the interior view the reflections go the wrong way, switch to bonnet/hood cam and they're fine, look behind you and they're wrong, outcar the front is fine but the back is wrong. It's frustrating !!

Why though, I don't get why you guys just accept it. I mean let's look at it another way, this is a small but kinda stupid issue wouldn't you agree? Sure it doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the game but neither would let's say when you're driving along the colour of your car keeps changing for no reason, or how about your windscreen keeps disappearing and flickering on and off.

These things should be spotted and fixed and this is also why most games companies release a demo or beta test, to fix the major, minor and stupid bugs and glitches. If Eden leave this you can be damn sure all the other games companies will take the mickey out of it when they do a racing game or it will be referred to all the time when talking about reflections issue. It should be fixed if it can be, but if not then of course everyone will just put up with it. :rolleyes:

I agree it should be fixed, but I simply don't pay attention on those things.
It's probbably cause last game I've really enjoyed was NFS4 High Stakes... and that was published in '99 so you know what the graphic was like back then... you couldn't see behind you in rear view mirrors (side ones).
