hes living the dream for all of us

[@KjetilBalstad]

Honestly, I think tripple monitor gaming is trash because the game don't really support it all that well...

[@KILLERAOC]

holy hell…what a setup…i never thought of pedal control being used

[@EyesFoward]

What?? I won't play without them

[@LezaKim]

To be honest, the USB foot switch 3-pedal that easily available on AliExpress or else is much easier to handle. To reduce preparation to start the game, I used racing pedals. 😅

[@ThiagoIzequiel]

You just gave me the best idea ever. My simrig will become my mech cockpit just like yours! So cool!

[@imglidinhere]

That's how it was done in the past. Mechwarrior was always designed around a HOTAS with keyboard second in mind, but that was before keyboard controls became standardized.

[@Krystalmyth]

@@imglidinhere That's because it was a Microprose franchise, who made flight/tank sims. I miss that old pedigree before it went arcade.

[@LezaKim]

@@Krystalmyth Personally, I love the heavy feeling about mech on MW3 by microprose

[@imglidinhere]

@@LezaKim That's the gold standard of mech games imo.

[@changeagent228]

Nice setup, I have that joystick in the attic somewhere from my mw2,3,4 days. I used to have the pedals and vr headset for mw2 too. Great to see you enjoying the immersion. 👍🏻

[@LezaKim]

I especially love the FFB support in 3,4. 😊

[@changeagent228]

@@LezaKim Yeah it was awesome. I have the older style one with the midi port connector so not sure if I can make it work on w11. I wonder if theres a way to make FFB work on it too. I think Clans likely only supports rumble on xbox pad which doesnt directly translate anyhow. Would be a cool mod though if someone could make it work. 😎

[@stevenv2190]

Wow! Looks better than those ancient Battletech "pods" from ages ago. (adjusts onion belt). I tried it years ago - quite difficult to play/learn. But was fun, nonetheless.

[@LezaKim]

Is this what you're talking about? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZitpWSfe9iihZo I want to put this in my room. 😋

[@Hubba404]

Ah the "Nova", when anything in range has to die from one pull of the trigger, regardless of whether or not your cockpit becomes an air-fryer!

[@LezaKim]

Thanks to Nova's overwhelming firepower, I was finally able to raise the difficulty to normal. 😭😭

[@TheCherry1994]

This is fucking amazing. Nice setup, bro.

[@GlanHuman]

I have MS Sidewinder FFB2. After 15 years of flying in dozens of simulators it's a still best joystick. MS is hell of hardware vendor, which cannot be said about software.

[@KayhoticGames]

the throttle is an interesting use of the foot pedals. but thats a sick setup man. i'd love to get a full HOTAS setup for it

[@alyssadraculesti]

Sweet setup

[@sai_tyrus]

Can you post or do a video on how you got your setup to work? My cousin runs a very nice HOTAS setup and has been struggling to get it all working.

[@LezaKim]

I amazing how ruined controller support on this game.. It's anachronistic. This game should also support input models like typical 'sim racing' by modern standards. Anyway, I find a method for non supported controller. github.com/evilC/MW5HOTAS

[@EyesFoward]

Any tips on hiding the bezels of your monitors?

[@LezaKim]

It uses the principle of Fresnel lens. The Asus bezel free kit is the most popular product, but I thought it was too expensive, so I made it for $6. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaPKdXp7d9-ra7s

[@EyesFoward]

@@LezaKim Nice. I noticed that that they are racing pedals. I use the Crosswinds I will look at your method. Thx

[@ChanArcade]

Hey, how did you get this set up? Did you have to use nvidia surround or eyefinity? I have triple widescreens and I wanted to give this a go, but I couldn't figure it out. Thanks!

[@Raija1980s]

Question, does this game have replayability like grinding your loot pool up in mechwarrior 5 mercenary does? or is it liniar with a story

[@LezaKim]

Very linear with a story. You can unlock the mech from reached levels, buy and modify Mechs. If Mech parts are destroyed during a mission, you can repair and reuse them. Mechs cannot be captured from enemies. This is similar to the tradition of MW2, MW4

[@Raija1980s]

@@LezaKim Hmmmm I see, what a shame I liked the mechwarrior 5 Merc storyline + freedome of movement it lets you have

[@Nazgull2k1]

I miss my sidewinder

[@Jizvic]

When i watching it, i remember feeling from the intro MW2 🤘👍

[@Spelljammer1]

What is the role of the MS SIdewinder here, are you getting any FFB effects in MW5?

[@LezaKim]

There is no FFB, and the only damping effect that the MS FFB Joystick has by default. But even with that, it feels more premium and provides smoother control than my Sidewinder Precision joystick.

[@nicholasgordon4999]

With a rig like that, the game looks almost fun.

[@bc85]

Left-handed joystick for mech controls & movement and mouse for weapons & aiming is a better combo. Not sure if it works with Clans though.

[@LezaKim]

That's a good idea. There are many ways to enjoy the game.

[@OcularPerceptions]

Nice setup. I still have the logitech exteme 3d pro. I've been using it with some of my older flight sim games.

[@LezaKim]

Older games that don't support xinput need an old joystick. It's amazing that these still work. 😍

[@GaussonGaming]

Are you using 5760x1080 (triple 1920x1080)? nVidia Surround? How to deal with the UI spreading all the width of the triple? e.g. my own ragdoll on the bottom right of left monitor, enemy ragdoll on top right of right monitor. Not to mention in the base or mechlab the UI just messed up... I've tried custom safe zone, but max can only be set to 100, which is just a little bit closer, useless.

[@LezaKim]

My resolution is 3134x1080 because my triple is 43inch + 24inch (see the description) not the common way. On the next week, Hot fix#2 update include 'Adjusted the safe zone width to work better with triple monitors'. I'm not sure if this will work. If it doesn't work, this game will have to wait for user mods like the previous game.

[@GaussonGaming]

@@LezaKim thx! that's a relief :D

[@OsVf770]

I failed to set the MOZA 3 pedal to throttle, full stop, jumpjet inputs. The input settings in this game are as crude as dark age technology.

[@LezaKim]

실수로 프로필 눌렀는데 한국분이시네요. 영상 올리고 나서 모든 컨트롤러 하나로 묶어서 MW5에서 인식시키는법 찾았네요. github.com/evilC/MW5HOTAS?tab=readme-ov-file 세팅하기까지 엄청 귀찮긴 한데 한번 해두면 편합니다.

[@shootermcgavin2067]

Tremendous

[@MickeyMulligan]

I guess I'm buying pedals next...

[@LezaKim]

I can't find any way to use analog input, so I recommended to buy a kind of 'USB foot switch' (You can easily find on Aliexpress or else) and mapping the keyboard.

[@KowieMcZowie]

​@@LezaKim I might be wrong on the name of the software but I think its either Joystick Gremlin or X360CE • Xbox 360 Controller Emulator haven't played with either for quite some time, anyway there is definitely some software out there that basically creates a virtual joystick that the game uses and you can use another input device to feed it input. So you could set it up so when ever you push on a pedal it gets treated as if a xbox's analog stick has been pushed forward etc You probably already know this but the software JoyToKey can also make your pedals send plain old keypress's if thats what you are also after. ps, awesome setup im so jelly ;).

[@KjetilBalstad]

I tried MW:O with triple monitors, that is 7680x1440, and it was absolute trash as the game did not support this very well at all. If I looked at an object in the center of the center display, like a circle 1000 meters away, and then twisted the torso to for example the right side moving this circle to the outer edge of my left display, the display is stretched to an oval seemingly 20m away. And as I move forward, as I close in on and pass by objects, they are zoomed in and stretched, "accelerating" as they pass by on either side. So, while I played the game, moving, twisting and turning, this behavior made me dizzy and nauseous. It simply does not look and feel good. And, even if we don't see all of the displays here, it seems to me like this game has the same drawbacks. In fact, I don't think I've played games that manages this well, which is also the reason I don't own a Ultra Wide display and don't play with more then one of my three displays any more.

[@hippoace]

wut...no instant action? hard pass

[@LezaKim]

Merc also got Instant Action a long time after its release. I think Clans will probably do the same.

[@hippoace]

@@LezaKim so weird...cant they just continue dev then release it when ready

[@LezaKim]

@@hippoace Someone said the reason is that the game prices have barely changed since the old days, while the development costs have increased dozens of times. It is a process of deciding whether to continue service or not, along with recovering some of the development costs.

[@EyesFoward]

The only thing that spoils the Mechwarrior game play for me its the flight and flight paths of missiles. To me they is just looks like a light show. MWLL got it just right. Lazy programming.
