  1. Just went on Enigma Syria server with 12 players. Sitting on the tarmac with high settings preset I get 110-120 FPS. We share the same GPU and very close CPU performance, there is something in the background eating your CPU cycles, you should be above 100 FPS.
  2. Pimax is not so good either at customer service and delivering the promises but going back to tunnel vision is worst for me. I like my 8kX, it is wide, clear and working fine in DCS. That's why I will probably stick with Pimax and get the Crystal.
  3. What a revelation! An HMD that cost twice as much has more built quality and features I hope he tries the crystal in DCS also... That would be helpful!
  4. No noticeable change in performance. Still getting a flicker free experience but I also noticed that the shader cache was completely erased after install, this could be the reason I was getting those random flickers. Not sure if the shader cache is erased after each driver update. If that is the case, then this version is the cure to my flickers.
  5. Just installed the latest Nvidia driver 536.23 and the annoying random flicker is gone!!! I have been experiencing this flicker in all VR games including DCS. The flicker would happen following rapid head movement but not all the time, impossible to reproduce consistently and very annoying. After flying a few mission in which I always had a them, they are gone! Not sure if it was specific to my setup, anyone had this problem?
  6. I just found out that it is a reported bug in the AV-8B forum. Nothing to do with WARZONES. All good! Merci pour la suggestion mais il semble que c'est un bug déjà rapporté avec le AV-8B, j'ai vue ça dans le forum.
  7. Same problem here, comm menu showing on the first key/button press but not showing after.
  8. Disabling SRS did not solve the issue but this menu problem happened only in the AV-8B. Tried with F-14, F-16, F-18 and no issue!?! Log attached but I did not noticed anything obvious. dcs.log.old.txt
  9. I do have SRS installed, I will try without it. Thanks for the tip!
  10. Sorry I was not clear enough. I do get the text box with status, it is the F1-F10 comms menu that is not showing up when I press the binded key (''/'') or throttle button binded to the comms menu. I tried to re-bimnd to other keyboard key or button with no success. I also tried running my mission from my server and i am getting the same problem and the game eventually crash on the server. I will re-try and get the log.
  11. If you run DCS multi-threading, the processor will not make a huge difference. Get more ram or save further for a 4080/4090 GPU, this will change your experience dramatically.
  12. Unfortunately, with the latest patch applied (DCS 2.8.6.41066 Open Beta) I have completely lost the in-game comms menu. No error poping up, just the menu not showing anymore. Anyone else has this issue?
  13. Good review and very intersting to see the performance comparison between the G2 and the Crystal from a 3080Ti perspective.
  14. Apple vision pro per eye: 11,400,000 pixels Varjo aero per eye : 7,833,600 pixels Pimax 8KX per eye : 8,294,400 pixels Pimax Crystal per eye : 8,294,400 pixels The image in the apple vision must be pretty amazing, it is also reported to have a 50 to 70 PPD which matches the human eye 60 PPD. With this kind of specs, no need to have any anti-aliasing!
  15. I agree that Pimax goofed it with shipping issues and their glass lenses production. Sadly it seems that it is becoming a trend in the PC industry unfortunately. It is the Microsoft way applied to hardware But once they have their act together, the product is outstanding. I have nothing to say against my 8KX, it is damn good, as long as you have the hardware to push it or course. Seems that things are improving though, nevertheless I will wait a month or two more before pulling the trigger.
  16. Another Pimax hater, who plays job simulator... not the type of reviewer with flight sim credibility.
  17. I use a lighthouse 1.0, no idea about this issue sorry.
  18. Note that FFR (Pimax) does not work if your runtime is OpenXR. When using OpenXR, you must use FFR within OpenXRToolkit intstead of FFR with pimax client or pitool.
  19. I think 110hz with smart smoothing is a good idea, I remember experimenting with this on my 8k+ and found out that the higher your frequency, the less ghosting you see with smart smoothing switched on. Try it out, it might be good. 55 FPS is much easier to sustain. For your second question you need to first consider the selected FOV on Pimax. If you are at standard FOV, you diag FOV drops from 200 to 170 degrees if I remember correctly. As a result, you do not use 100% of the pixels and thus your effective resolution is less than 2.5k. I would argue that your effective resolution has probably a pixel count similar to the G2. Secondly is the rendering pipeline and specifically the software part of it. It could be that the Pimax pipeline is more effective that the G2 pipeline. It could also be that settings were not the same between the two HMDs. For instance, if you use FFR with the Pimax, it is a big FPS booster.
  20. Naw, I can take more than that. Again, I respect your opinion.
  21. I hate being insulted. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Your prefer pancake, I respect that, it is your opinion.
  22. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I am not forcing any decision here but simply stating my opinion.
  23. I don't think anyone is saying that. It takes more powerful and extra hardware to enjoy VR, but once you have a good setup you don't want to go back to pancake.
  24. You can rationalize as much as you want but if you are interested in flying a combat airplane on a PC, then immersion is inherently part of that. We all share, deep down inside, that dream of flying one of these for real. Dare to try VR out and you will never go back to pancake.
  25. Correct! Did un-checking the parallel projection box in pitool helped?
