Tracking: starts with jitter (the view moving up and down), then usually ending up outside of the cockpit. No delays. If tracking data is somehow captured, i can send it to you. Just let me know how. I have a high contrast backdrop, acoustic panels. This should make things easy, while it doesn't. But please note, only in DCS, not in Pimax Home.

@Calvin.Pimax Tracking seems improved under artificial light conditions. But still in Pimax home all is good, in DCS tracking can have a hard time when looking over my shoulder. Natural light coming in at an angle (window on my left) is giving tracking issue when looking either left or right over my shoulder, in DCS, not in Pimax home. The new sharpness setting was set at .6. Very noticeable, but also reducing overall performance (missing frames). When changing the sharpness, it is immediately applied. The apply button remains disabled, which breaks with the overall behavior of the application. When I enabled Smart Smoothing while in DCS, the headset went black. I did not press Apply yet. I did not notice any difference with smart smoothing (RTX 5090). Seems that everything is on the right track, but outside in tracking is definitely in need of more improvements.

Cold start with ATP at night Switch AG TV image shows until cycled through WHOT and BHOT back to TV. Than the image is black (as expected).

see 2nd post. There might also be a left to right difference which you can update from the Windows Application.

@BIGNEWY: the Viper manual on the website is still the december 2024 version: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/documentation/filter/aircraft-is-f-16c/apply/

Can't ED implement some kind of 'vr-sync' so we don't have to fool around with settings so much and hope Windows does not assign something else to a 'render core' causing 1 frame 'off'?

well, that could be right as i am heaving DCS crashes where the dcs.log and eventviewer point towards my GPU. Still investigating this with ED. I also read somewhere that the earphones are clipping, setting the volume in windows lower, and higher on the headset could work. Haven't tested it yet.

no voice attack in my case. Also not related to SRS

Nope, the amount of click seems somewhat related to whether the pimax is the default audio device. But I don't have hard evidence. I haven't contacted pimax. Did you?

yes, same here

I think this has to do with how the game engine works. There must be some 'additional processing' that is too much for the CPU to handle.

I tried increasing and decreasing the boost clock with Intel XTU on a i9 13900KF to solve crashes with Pimax OpenXR (Crystal light) and a 4090. Like @shades71 I've noticed that lowering the boost clock actually improves performance. I ended up switching to SteamVR as it doesn't crash (so far) and currently has better performance that Pimax OpenXR. To respond to the core topic: still ground stutters, especially when 'changing direction', such as turning left/right while taxiing, rolling, pulling G below 6000ft AGL.

Things seem better with NVidia driver 576.66 (no need to blame mod's that are known good)

I experience the same thing with Nvidia 576.52. After the latest DCS patch...it's a matter of time, you just don't know how much time. No crash in DCS log, app hangs. When the app is windowed (while playing VR), i can usually sit it out and get control over windows in a few minutes. In full screen mode....automatic reboot (no BSOD).

no stutters, but crashes that are not mentioned in the dcs.log. Here is an example. After about 20 minutes of flying, the video froze, sound continued for a minute, then a full system reboot. Not an incident. dcs.log DxDiag.txt
