Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the OpenXR- Layers tool, indeed I have it installed. However, no matter what I did i lost eye tracking and despite my best efforts I could not get it to work without uninstalling and reinstalling. Everything is working well now so I will leave well alone unless i see some significant benefits with future software developments.

Glad you made progress. I tried the Custom Option and while improvements were gained I still prefer the QVFR/QVC option for clarity and performance. I may have unclear with my earlier explanation but after deleting the App Data folders mentioned I would then untick DFR in PP allowing the QVFR & QVC to provide a better DFR experience. I hope Pimax include a information note against each of the DFR options which mirrors the option categories in the Custom option so users can base line another setting option and then tweak individual settings to fine tune for optimisation.

I have managed to retain the latest version of PP and continue to use QVFR & QVC. I uninstalled PP then went into Users/App Data/ deleted all Pimax Files and any relating to QV that may exist. This needs to be done in the Local and Local Now folders. Do the same for QVFR & QVC. Reinstall PP, QVFR & QVC. You will have to reset your selections in PP (disable DFR and recalibrate EyeTracking etc but once done you can use the latest version and benefit from the new features and the benefits from QVFR & QVC. HTH

One would also hope Pimax would more throughly test the new version before releasing it into the Public domain then these issues would not tarnish the company reputation and create additional work for users.

Totally agree. The new PP took me two days to untangle the blurred low resolution areas and poor fps. While the new features are a nice touch to have, but not at the expense of poor visuals and fps. Eventually I managed to get back to a decent image a solid 72 fps using MBs QVFR & QFC while using the latest PP. In short I get the benefits of the new features without sacrificing the visuals. System specs below.

Just been playing with various settings. I was able to reduce the “swirls” by selecting the custom DFR option and increasing the central image to 50% V@H, which is counter productive in that a performance hit has to be taken. Sadly I am disappointed with this update as the swirls were a distraction and a big let down. I have disabled Pimax QV and Reinstalled QVFR AND QVC on top of the most recent patch but do use the Pimax Sharpening set to 0.8. The result is the image is as clean and sharp as I have seen to date at 72 FPS. I did not notice stuttering over Afghanistan but need to do more testing on other maps. HTH

Using Pimax Play 140.4, QVFR, QV Companion @120% I get: Marianas mostly 90fps, low level over Guam 65-75 fps. (Ultra Shadows- Low might yeild 90) On the ground at Anderson 90 fps. Germany mostly 90 fps. Berlin low level 55-65 fps (side view awful). Sinai mostly 90 fps. Conclusion: despite some attractive features the latest Pimax Play it appears to be inferior to version 140.4 with QVFR & QVC in pure performance terms. Hopefully Pimax have some new PP under development

1/120 =0.00833. looks like the hardware is working as advertised.

Most settings are high/max but I did lower shadows to low and clouds to standard to help provide some headroom. 90hz gives frame time of 11.11 but 72hz give 14 ish. Interestingly the Crystal OG at 120 hz Gave a Solid 8.33. No 120 hz option with the Super at this time unfortunately. if you don’t already do the following please try: Task Manager Details tab Right click on DCS (after log in) Select Priority and set to High, NOT Realtiime) Should help. But has to be done everytime you log in.

Yes 50 PPD

The Super arrived today minus DMAS, they will arrive later. Ordered 12 Feb so one day short of 6 months to deliver. Early testing shows amazing clarity. I borrowed the DMAS from my original Crystal and that worked just fine. Still exploring software tweaks, but 90 hz produces best frame time over 72 hz.

Ordered 12 Feb, email advising of shipping estimated in May, followed by another email a week later estimating shipping in late June or early July. Email received on 14 July stating headset ready for shipment which would be advised in 7-14 days. Email sent from me requesting shipping update received a response this morning that shipping may happen in 2-3 weeks. If it was ready for shipping 2 weeks ago why will it take a further 5 weeks from then to ship . if I am lucky it might ship in late August so I guess I am looking at September for receipt as the earliest! Not happy - Sorry Pimax you are falling waaaay short on meeting customer expectations.

Monitor has refresh rate 144 Hz. I set DCS to 145 FPS, the Nvidia Control Panel to 144 and adjusted Pimax between 72,90 and finally 120 and starting with a frame rate of 11 ms then 10ms and finally 120FPS gave approximately 8ms, which is the best I have ever achieved with my 9800X3D. I can only conclude that uncapping/not throttling has merit with this CPU. Generally I can get 120 FPS on any map. The toughest test being low level over Berlin when the FPS is reduced to 70-90 with Pimax set to 120.

4 days (including weekend) after an email advising my Super (50 PPD) is undergoing testing, I received another email requesting delivery address confirmation. Now just awaiting shipping and dispatch details. 5 months and 2 days after order placed.

Ordered the Super 50PPD mid Feb 2025. Today email received indicating that assembly is complete, testing is under way. Awaiting address confirmation email and shipping details etc. 5 months since ordering.
