Well... Since this patch you can use F5 for free camera in Testing Grounds.

It's in Testing Grounds only, when the map load read what's on screen... F5 to go freecam and F7 to turn off HUD.

1. Select your mech
2. Go to testing grounds
3. Walk mech to desired location
4. Set field of view back to 60
5. Hit F5 to enter free camera
6. Hit print screen once in position
7. Profit!

I posted in the patch note asking if there is a manual to operate in camera mode. You seems to know a bit more... when I press F5 to go in freecam I don't know how to move the Mech. WASD only moves camera around pretty fast and with SHIFT it's even faster. I'd like to slow down camera movement and also know how to move the Mech while in freecam.

I personally rebound all the cam controls in the spectator mode. W and S kept throttling my mech up and down AND moving my camera. Ideally, though, I'd get a cheap XBox controller, because then you can have fine control over camera speed with the thumbsticks.

I wish I knew how to turn gfylinks into straight gifs.
Has an option, but kills the quality. :\

Oh lord, moving things and other things. And I had planned to play a few games today, so thank you for reminding me that this was in the latest patch as well. Ok, that can wait. Here are a first couple of attempts after the patch.

And a Gauss fireworks as well, prolly should have a darker background.

They need to allow us to put our own mechs as dummies in testing grounds now o.O

Totally wouldn't set stage for ..... (Ghost Bear Mad Dog stands over fallen defeated Kuritan Atlas ) ec.t

And one of the two the IS just did not need to have added to the game right now.

I've tried to recreate an MW4 snow/winter camo. Although since my MW4Mercs has started crashing on start up, I can't check which one or even if it's close.



Similarly, I accidentally managed to view 1st person from 3rd person, and it doesn't line up. Why I'm only discovering this now, or why it only bothers me now, is anyone's guess.

(1st and 3rd on top of each other.)

Maybe it would be better to post in The Perfect Screenshot thread?

I'm moving there, this one here is more about paintjobs than screenshots.

Keep up the awesome photos. I just realized the choices I can have of mwo as my desktop wallpaper are almost endless with the new camera option! I'm going to save all of the 1920x1080 wallpaper on this forum. Thanks!

UPDATE: I made a new thread for screenshots here. feel free to post your wallpaper/screenshot masterpieces here!

https://mwomercs.com...r-screen-shots/

If you read 3 posts above yours I suggested to use the ALREADY existing screenshots thread, whay start another one?

It's not too late to fix.

I'll keep this one here for showing paint jobs, and the other one I just mentionned for screenshots.
