Well, not sure where else to put this. If there is a better place, I'm sure a mod will take care of it. Now on to the meat of the post.

Has anyone put together a montage of the various mech cockpits from the views in-game? It's be crazy to expect a layout like the Hunchback in the media section, but I'd like to see all the different cockpits in their entirety.... I, alas, do not have the software, talent, or patience to do this myself.

I can take shots of the ones i own in 6000 pixel glory, but i tend to only buy mechs with cockpits that look good on 3 screens, so i don't have that many...

[BP Raven]

Ok, here's a few, they're full size so save them and view in windows. On a single screen you see the centre third of the image, so you see why i don't drive an atlas often.

Do you play with your FOV like that? Or was it just for the screens?

[BP Raven]

yep, that's the fov i play at, have to bear on mind that it's spread across 3 23 inch screens wich extend out into one's peripheral vision, so what looks sucked out in small screenshots looks perfectly natural in motion.

This is how I imagine playing with that set up is like:

Very cool, thank you!

That's also my dream set up, I'm trying to convince the wife that it's a good investment to toss my current screens out and buy all new, same-size/type screens.

All I know is, the technician who wired my cockpit in my mechs SUCKS.

He can never get all the monitors wired up so almost none of them work (Always saying "Auto Detect: No Signal"). That guy needs to be fired.

It's actually quite intuitive, you spend most of the time looking at the centre screen, with the sides as peripheral vision.

A few more...

All of the remaining mechs i don't own right now, so will have to take them as a spectaor in matches as and when i see them, and have died before they did...

Not the best view of the jager, the guy had his cockpit lights off so all the other shots i got were a bit dark inside. normally on a map with good light you can make out the detail on those armour plates no problem.

[wickwire]

now i want 3 screens

[Trev Firestorm]

Looks like someone was slacking with the Jager cockpit, don't get that issue with a single screen at fov 90

Victor:



Not the best shot to be honest, the guy was fighting and moving around a lot. I'll replace it when i get a better one. Not had any others that i need come up when spectating, excepting a hunch on RCN which wouldn't show you much.

That does make me want to get a 3rd screen.... but more than that it makes me wish MWO supported Occulus Rift and that I had one of those

[Wolf Ender]

ok since we are talking about cockpits I have a bone to pick with the stalker


what's wrong with this picture?


PGI ...seriously WTF is this chicken wire you guys have protecting your mechs exposed wires? did you run out of money? do you shop for mech parts at the gardening section of home depot? these look awful IMHO. super chintzy, and look at how the two up front are like just bent into the rough shape of a box. it looks like a cheap desktop paper organizer and pencil holder set you buy at walmart

and WTF is this?

It looks like an old 8-track player or a guitar amp plugin board....where have i seen that texture before?


There it is again...on the jenner (also seen it in quickdraw) now i appreciate the need to re-use textures sometimes...but on the stalker it looks horrible. use it in places where it gets shrunk down not blown up. it looks all grainy and horrible in the stalker.

i love the stalker but i think the cockpit design is crap
