Recent change: Added Turbo Corvair's v2, updated Propnut's work and just added pics for NightlyReaper since he hasn't replied to my PMs re: copyright on his images.

Hi all

I wanted to create a sub which I could point people at as a summary for the various simpit work that people are doing on the MWO forum, so here goes.I also wanted some thoughts on which mechs people thought these simpits seemed most likely to be from.

Links to current simpits here on the MWO forum, with best (IMHO), most recent 'overall' pic (That I am aware of), in alpha order by pilot name. If any of the creators of these simpits would prefer a different pic or have something more up-to-date, or if I've missed anyone's work, please LMK:

Choowy

Foust

My thoughts on what mech his simpit would be - Vulture/Mad Dog (Due to the simpit's similarity in shape to Choowy's):

Loc ***

My thoughts on what mech his simpit would be - Stinger:

...because of it's size, and orientation, i.e. I think it's layout would transition well to the LAM layout for the Stinger/Wasp, and it's small so a bigger version might suit the Phoenix Hawk.

My thoughts on what mech his simpit would be - Hunchback (Because I plan on it eventually looking a bit like this):

Turbo Corvair v1

My thoughts on what mech his simpit would be (I don't know why. but as soon as I saw TC's work I thought it looked like a Cauldron Born):

Turbo Corvair v2

And obviously based on MWO's:

wasp1

I guess from the name, wasp1 might be indicating the design is inspired by:

Thanks Urban UK. I'll get the FP updated tomorrow. For now I'm going to get to bed before 1pm for only the third time in two weeks.

still missing http://mwomercs.com/...mech-simulator/

perhaps this summary thread should be stickied? or maybe even create a cockpit subsection in the hardware section of the forum?

It's up there Urban UK. No pics though as NightlyReaper's Flickr page has the photos copyrighted and he hasn't responded to my PM with permission to use the pics.

How about putting an open top pod in the middle of one of these screens:

...I have the open sim above (http://mwomercs.com/...440-my-mechpit/), and this is precisely why I build this style pit. Filling the eye with screen goes a looong way towards making it feel real/tricking your brain.

Thanks for the courtesy Repete. I have long ago replied to his post and let me use this forum to let everyone know that that they can use those pics however they want as long they just let me know by message or something. I'm cool with it. Thanks everybody for being awesome. I will be in game, trying to work mah joysticks. Be merciful!

NightlyReaper, Out.

I am so jealous of their time, skill, and ability to set all that up.

These guys are hard core.

Howdy repete,

Not just bumping your thread, I actually have an addition to make... I made a new pit, as you have have seen.

Side note: I'm not sure why (long before ELO, before you jokesters start in) but so far repete is the only other simpit driver I've encountered in game, and -numerous times to boot! Unfortunately the first few were back in the 4fps/blackscreen/yellowscreen days and I was disco so he thought I was dissin :( He did manage to murder me in one of my first drops in my then-new CTF-3D, ironically teamed up with a pack of my own lancemates from reddit once on Caustic, and a few on the same side although since we're both on HOTAS it's really hard to type in chat since not only are your hands doing something else, it screeches the mech to a halt!

Awesome thread is awesome.

I always wanted one of those. I don't have the time though. I would really enjoy playing the game in one of these. Please post some vids about gameplay inside these if you can.

(yes I know some posts are really old, but I still want to see)

Need more awesome Sim Pics. I`m too stupid to use MWO with a Joystick, but have 3 Monitors to play it though. ;)
