I know it's like probably too late but i noticed something strange, the jenner's cockpit in first person view is so much different than the official artwork:


Artwork:

Or am i simply missing something?

[Sheilei]

i think your on to something.
Oh well...

[Attalward]

I also would like to see the square one pane window for the jenner cockpit it makes it very outstanding and different from the other mechs.

yeah, they could make it so: That panel window in front, and like tv screens on the sides :Din the inside ofcourse, not outside tvs on the outside would be silly

Although the cockpit could be only a placeholder, like a beta only thing

The cockpit interior of the Jenner looks strikingly similar to that of the Catapult, check the shape of the panes and the particular corners at the top of the center window. The Catapult has a bit more space above the main window but otherwise they are very, very similar:

and compared to other mech cockpits jenner's looks awfully untextured, maybe its just my eyes playing tricks on me

[Bullwerk]

Work in Progress perhaps?

But that's okay I'll jump on the bandwagon too!

Hey, that cockpit isn't right! You are making my Jenner feel the same as all the other mechs! How dare you release it like this!

Okay that's enough silliness for now

The Jenner cockpit is still a placeholder. I.e. just something tto be there until they make the real cockpit.

[Aldinvor]

like captain placeholder, ah nostalgia of nerdy fan made songs...

Single window view in a scout mech.. engineering genius at work in the core design.

Hopefully can rack this up to WIP.

windows are a structural weakness, needs moar cameras

Good eye would have never noticed

[Redshift2k5]

Can't seem to get a clear enough view in the videos to tell if the in-game model differs from the concept art in any way (such as having more exterior windows)

Battletech breaks the laws of physics on a regular basis hehe.

Good catch there.

[Kenyon Burguess]

monitors would be a better reasoning for the look of the design than the window in the front...or is it a sliding access hatch? besides, theres quite a trip from the concept artists desk down to the 3d rendering office.

While a reasonable idea.. those are not monitor displays that we see in the "in cockpit view" (hint: that makes it an excuse) which is fine.


I won't knitpick it, because one window view in a recon mech is kinda silly to begin with, period. However, if they ARE going to make L/R views in "camera/monitor" systems, they still need to upgrade the cockpit graphic and, If not, then upgrade the external view of the mech to match the cockpit.

Make it right before launch.. its fine during the "I'm working on it phase of development."

Expect it to be right kids or pay for it eventually.

Again, great catch by the OP.
