Papercut

There is still horrible banding in darker colors. Tried it on another computer as well, with a much older version of DCS installed, and the same results. Also with the same weirdness with the profile.json file. I can also see the banding in the default Pimax backgrounds, so it seems to be a headset issue rather than a DCS issue.

Ok, I figured out my problem. Whenever I change the local dimming value in the Pimax Client setting the profile.json file gets updated with the value "local_dimming_black_level" : 0.9980000257492065. In order words the local dimming gets maxed out, even if I set the value to 0.001 in the Pimax Client. As long as I do not play with the local dimming value in the Pimax Client, and instead edit the profile.json file it works as it should.

I have the exact same problem with my Crystal Light as Dovivan. No amount of reducing local dimming helps. Reducing brightness does improve things a little, but the result is still quite horrible, and certainly not as intended. Dovivan did you ever get it solved?

Mine has been excellent, and is the grip I like the best of those I own (the Warthog grip, two Virpil grips and the RS Viper grip). The buttons and switches feel fantastic. The grip is great for the Hornet, Harrier and the upcoming Mudhen, and works well with all the older aircrafts. For the Viper and the Hog an F-16 style grip is better suited though. It does deserve a better base than the WH, and upgrading the base to a Virpil is something I would recommend doing first (assuming you have a WH grip), as that will make a much bigger difference.

I have a Radeon 6900XT and a Reverb G2 and I am getting a lot of artifacts if I enable motion smoothing in any form. That problem did not exist with my Rift S. This is not a problem with one specific driver, all of AMDs drivers has been the same. The combo of Reverb G2 and a Radeon card does not seem to be a good one if you want to use motion smoothing (and you do). For now I am running without motion smoothing, which sucks. I am hoping AMD solves it, but for now I am just trying to live with it.

When I got my G2 I also had FPS issues that I just could not understand. After trying a number of things that made no difference I noticed that the CPU lua usage was really high. Turned out that export.lua was the culprit, after deleting it (it gets recreated) my frame rate improved a lot. Now DSC is like a new game, coming from the Rift S the Reverb G2 is nothing short of a revolution.
