Same with me, installed ticked the boxes in settings, but does not work.

Hey guys, been a lurker here for quite a while, but I figured I would give my thoughts on the Pimax Crystal from an average Joe. I have been simming and gaming a long time, not a technical expert by any means, but I get by pretty well. Anyhow, I just got my Crystal up and running. I was using the Pimax 8kx, probably like a lot of new Crystal buyers so I am familiar with a lot of the Pimax issues. My initial thought when first using the headset in DCS was how tiny the FOV is compared to the 8KX. I knew it was going to be smaller, but I was not expecting it to be this small. This was very disappointing! It almost felt claustrophobic. The second thought was, Wow! the clarity and color is beautiful, really impressive! As I continued playing I then started realizing how poor my FPS was. I am using OpenXR and running on a RTX 4080. I was using the same settings I had with the 8KX in Steam VR. Hopefully performance will improve when eye tracking and foveated rendering are up and running. I will be experimenting with settings in the mean time to find the sweet spot between performance and visual quality. I thought the setup was pretty easy(for Pimax) and I was up and running in about 1/2 an hour after unboxing. One positive is the sound, once I got it working (another issue I struggle with on my system with Pimax) it is very good! My 8KX did not have DMAS, big improvement! The quality of the unit seems pretty good, I have not tried the included hand controllers yet, but they seem kind of small and cheap. Another nice thing is that there's no longer a need for base stations. I.jave them.on stands and they kind of clutter up my computer room. The comfort of the unit is about the same as the 8KX, not great, but ok. Sure would be nice to have a fan in these things somewhere. Overall, I am kind of on the fence right now, I love the color and clarity, it really is gorgeous, but I hate the FOV and the performance. Hopefully the performance improves, but the FOV is my main deterrent to really liking this unit. Maybe the 12KX, if it ever comes will be the answer. Unfortunately, I think it will take a beastly system to run based on the Crystal's performance running on a fairly high end system. Anyway, hope that was informative, thanks for the read.

Thank you Sir, thatb is unfortunate! I did not want to go that route, currently using a Thustmaster Warthog, thinking about some kind of custom panel for that then making the rest. Just hard to find time for all that custom work. Let me know how your project goes!

Does anyone have a Winwing Super Taurus throttle for the F-18 for sale? Also looking for the PTO Take Off Panel and the PCR Combat Ready Panel. They have been out of stock on these items for months! Does anyone know if they will ever have these in stock again?

Wow, I thought it was just me....I have yet to land this mission. You literally can't see the boat until you are right on top of it...I have crashed into the boat so many times on this mission that I have just given up and don't even try it anymore.

Lol, I just had the exact same thing happen today after taking off from AL Minhad! Took off and my landing gear warning horn kept going off after retract and handle was flashing red. I did not thing to do a look around of the airplane while in the air. Did you do a refuel there? I did, just curious, maybe a bug.

Item is Sold

Hey all, Been lurking on the forum for a bit to learn some more about DCS, definitely like drinking water from a fire-hose. I currently work at a corporate flight department operating Dassault Falcon jets and have been working in Aviation for a couple of decades. Anyway, just wanted to say 'Hi' and try to learn some more. Been flying the F/A-18 for a bit in VR with HP reverb2 and full Thrustmaster Warthog set up. Enjoy it immensely when I find the time (single dad, work a lot, etc). Anyway, nice to be here, be great everyone!

Hey All, I am selling my MSI RTX 2080 Super Ventus. This card came with an IBuyPower computer that I bought in April of 2020. I was fortunate enough to find a 3080ti to upgrade, so I know longer need this. The card has never been overclocked and has only been played a couple of hours a week, so it should be in great shape. $750, I will pay shipping. Prefer PayPal. Thanks Pete
