What is
AUTO DETECT( NO )?
Maybe it's better to show there ground temperature(good for terra therma lava), trip distance during the match, ams and ecm mode, health % of my team and etc.

[IraqiWalker]

I would like that.

Not to be nitpicky, but the heat sink display one is functional. At least in a few mechs.

[Oderint dum Metuant]

Can't remember didnt this get abandoned due to performance related issues?

It shows ammo too but it is very poorly presented, both need an overhaul to actually resemble on something.

[DaZur]

I want one of them to show Ren and Stimpy cartoons...

[IceCase88]

Some show kills but never goes above 0.

And for missile doors you got an Light aswell...

[JackPoint]

maybe they can use them for in game advertising, " 10:000 Mc gets you a facebook screen . Seriously though they've ignored those screens for as long as I can remember, just another item un finished and ignored.

It's a TV to display the Solaris matches, but saddly due to the Clan invasion, the Clan's are scrambling Comstar's signal. So basically that is why the monitors say what they do.

Blame the test tube warriors for your lack of Solaris combat goodness.

[IraqiWalker]

Honestly, I'm in no rush for them to have this thing fixed. Would I like it to be fully operational? Yes.

Do I want to put it high on the priority list considering everything else that is there (CW, Assault and defend mode, new player experience, updates to UI, possibly bringing back collision ... etc.)? Nope.

CN9-AH was functional as well...

[Radbane]

If they've scrapped the idea of live displays, I wish they'd replace the screens with something more immersive, doesn't matter if it is just a staic image.

[Khobai]

I get how displaying images on the screens might cause a performance drop. But I really dont see how having the displays show text information would decrease performance at all.

[Rhaythe]

Ninja'ed.

To be honest I don't really care about performance. Make it a optional feature with an on / off switch and a variable value (together with cockpitlighting) in the userconfig.

[Sandpit]

we still have skills that are non-functional
we still have equipment that is non-functional

I love the HUD ideas but I don't see it happening any time soon.

[TLBFestus]

Personally I think it was an aborted attempt to get Apple to pay sponsorship for mechs with iPads.
