Is there a gallery of screenshots of view from all mech cockpits ?
I googled for it and found mostly just few separate Atlas screens.

[Alaskan Nobody]

I could work on that for the Mechs I have (I have even considered it a few times) if you want.
(Comparing the cockpit views really emphasises the tunnel-vision of the Shawk)
But I don't think there is a current one.

[Hex Pallett]

Hmm. I may do something like that.

I have Locust, Raven, Spider, Hunchback, Centurion, Shadowhawk, all Heavies saves Quickdraw, Awesome, Battlemaster, Highlander and Atlas.

I've got
Locust, Commando, Jenner
Centurion, Hunchback, Griffin, Shadowhawk, Wolverine
Jager, Thunderbolt, Cataphract
Battlemaster, Atlas

..maybe one or two others (don't think so though)

Add with those views one from each map, along with the new Windhield enhancements.

Thanks for supporting the idea.
Since there probably isn't this kind of gallery right now, lets start one.

I have couple of cockpit screenshots on my disk, but I'm looking for a suitable online gallery.
I imagine something that works like wiki. That allows uploading of images to any (registered) user and some administration maybe.
A support for stereo 3d images would be a cool feature too. (Since MWO supports stereo 3d now.)

Anybody have any idea ?

I checked MWO Wiki (mwo.gamepedia.com) since it would make sense to start there, but they don't seem to have a gallery feature.
And mwomercs.com don't have community gallery either (or I didn't find it)

I don't know anything about that - I could provide the pics though.

....any preferred FOV? (I run mine modified, but within PGI allowed limits)

I guess having one pic of every cockpit with default fov would be nice, but other then that anything goes ?

[Alaskan Nobody]

Thats about what I thought, but also thought I'd better check before uploading.

[Redshift2k5]

I'm not going to bother mucking with my FOV, but I will screencap my chassis plus the current trial mechs. Feel free to quote, relink, etc if you want to put together a gallery.

Taken with fov 75

spider:


Cicada:


Dragon:


Stalker (My own Stalker, but placed here to coincide with the trial Stalker):


Blackjack:


Shadowhawk:


Quickdraw (The Quickdraw's bubble head looks weird with any FoV mods since it bulges outwards more than most cockpits):


Catapult:


Orion:

Redshift - wow, thanks a lot for tons of screens !

People please consider making the screencaps in as high resolution as possible (since you already taking all the work of making them ). I guess Full HD 1920x1080 is cool today.
Also uploading them somewhere where they will be easier to download and woun't be truncated in any way would be nice.
Places like Flickr or Imageshack ..

[Alaskan Nobody]

I've been using photobucket - will upload mine next time I play
Can give:
Light: Locust, Commando, Jenner
Medium: Centurion, Hunchback, Shadowhawk, Griffin, and Wolverine (feel like I'm missing one there though..)
Heavy: Jagermech, Thunderbolt, Cataphract
Assault: Battlemaster, Atlas

And I use 1920x1080 so no worries there

Funny how the Shadowhawk looks so much less... tunnelvision in Red's screenshot (though you still cannot see squat due to the muzzle flash )

80-degree FOV, sorted by tonnage:

Regular Locust, it's okaaaaaaaaaaay-ish:


Phoenix Locust. I still don't understand why PGI put a bunch of bars outside:


Spider, not too shabby:


Raven, really good:


Centurion, nice horizontal view, vertically meh:


Hunched Hunchback. BRILLIANT:


Hunchback 4SP, EVEN BETTER:


Shadowhawk. AbsoF**KINGlutely abysmal:


And if that's not bad enough, here's what it's like when it's shooting. MY F**KING EYES:


Dragon, while it's view is great, it's the only chassis that you can see your OWN CT:


Catapult, niiiiiiiiiice:


Jagermech, it's more than okay:


T-bolt, a little web-y, but no big deal:


Cataphract's view is surprisingly good:


Orion, pretty nice:


Awesome. LOVELY:


Battlemaster:


Highlander:


And Eye of the Atlas:

Yeah, it seems by this point this should really be a thing.

Granted, they are a repetition of increasingly familiar elements, but the various cockpit designs are one of my favorite aspects of this game.

Anyone have a favorite?
