I've actually seen these pictures before while I was looking for MechWarrior Cockpit Ideas. There was really only this and one other 'pit that I recall. Excellent work! I especially love the 'Mech-Bay Entrance. Look forward to seeing you in MWO.

I've always loved the idea of making a home simpit, after spending way too many hours in a virtual world pod in Walnut Creek, CA. (sniff sniff, oh the memories).

Anyway, I am pretty sure I have figured out how to get all the inputs to the computer figured out, but I don't know how to get output from the program to make the external indications work. I wanted to keep it (I hope) simple and have radar, a basic top down minimap with mech orientation in the center, heat indication, and that's about it.

Any idea if this could even work, or will MWO dev team have to code it in?

Take a look at the sims at SimHQ, they've found ways of having the screens offloaded onto IPads and Touch screens... I'm sure it will be possible with tweaking.
