To preface this I will say that I have never done any circutry and have only very limited carpentry skills.

I have browsed these forums and I'm amazed with the "awsome" work that so many people have done from the very simple command chairs to whole rooms being turned into entire 'mech cabins practically. I now too want to play mechwarrior not just at a desk in my closet with the door closed but in the cockpit of my massive Atlas! I would ask this community to help me in some basics of the planning and such as I have never built something like this ever but I am willing to do the work necessary to learn the skills required of me. Some features that I want and others that I don't need:
  • fully close
  • have a few key working switches
  • be able to be built in parts so that I can move it (I have some Ideas for this)
  • resemble the MWO Atlas cockpit
  • I do not require a multi-monitor display
  • a chair that slides out the back
  • have room for a fold out desk and keyboard
Those are all the main features I can think of right now. Thank you for your time and/or help.

I have made room in my room. I now have a 5'6"x4'8" floor area to work with.

When you get it rolling post some pics or vids, I am one that would love to see them. I am very good with carpentry and wiring and will be building one soon if MWO gets its stuff together. I have already built two flight chairs that I can take with me on the road if need be. :D
