MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries

Configure MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries motion platform support using SpaceMonkeyTP telemetry tool.

Warning
This integration is delivered AS-IS and can stop working at any time, e.g. after a game update.

1 Introduction

An 3rd party unofficial tool is required to extract the telemetry data and send it to ForceSeatPM. The tool is called Unreal Engine Mod Loader 2.2.1 and it is part of SpaceMonkeyTP 1.1.1 package. This is the only supported version of the tool, newer version of SpaceMonkeyTP (e.g. 1.2.3) will NOT work correctly.

Warning
Only SpaceMonkeyTP 1.1.1 is supported. Older and newer versions will NOT work correctly.

2 Download

You can download SpaceMonkeyTP 1.1.1 installer from GitHub archive or get minimized version (which supports only MechWarrior 5 and Dakar Desert Rally) from our mirror (recommended).

3 Configuration - Unreal Engine Mod Loader

1. If you downloaded the MSI installer, install the SpaceMonkeyTP on your system and ForceSeatPM will detect it automatically - manual configuration in Games Integration will not be required.

2. If you downloaded ZIP version, then unpack it and open Games Integration.

3. Find SpaceMonkeyTP on the list. If the Path is not correct, then click Locate.

4. Navigate to location where you unpacked SpaceMonkeyMW5_DDR ZIP archive and click Select Folder.

5. Verify that Path is set correctly.

Warning
Make sure that there is MechWarrior-Win64-Shipping.profile file in UnrealModLoader_V2.2.1/Profiles directory.
Tip
If at any point you moved SpaceMonkeyTP to a different location, go to MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries profile → Settings, Tips and Troubleshooting tab → Click here to detach the game from the profile command.

Next go to Action Center → Check configuration. Resolve any issues that arise.

4 Configuration - game

1. Open Games Integration and verify that the game was detected correctly.

2a. If you installed SpaceMonkeyTP from MSI file, go to installation location. Usually it is: 

C:\Program Files\PHARTGAMES\SpaceMonkeyTP

2b. If you downloaded SpaceMonkeyMW5_DDR.zip archive, go to location where the archive was unpacked.

3. Navigate to MW5 subfolder.

4. Extract the contents of MW5Mercs_0.3.zip into the game installation destination. There will be a folder named MW5Mercs containing two other folders named Binaries and Content.

5 Running the game

1. Navigate to MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries profile in ForceSeatPM → Run the game → Telemetry Proxy.

2. Once there is "Waiting for Game Window..." message displayed, start the game either using desktop shortcut, directly from Steam or from Epic Games Launcher.

Tip
  1. Run the game at least once before you try to use Telemetry Proxy method.
  2. Sometimes Telemetry Proxy can crash the game. If it happens, try again.
