Hi all, I had my first chance to get hands on with a Pimax Crystal today. Safe to say, the experience sucked. A friend has it up and running on a 3080. I have a brand new 4070 and I couldn't even get it to connect to the PC. The experience on the 3080 in DCS was weak. Although with a still head, the clarity is impressive, with movement, there is a lot of motion blur and tearing. The left lens also seemed to have a particular clarity issue. Poor manufacturing perhaps? The Auto IPD was also inaccurate. All of this even with all the tech geared towards improving performance on a 3080 with the Crystal. All in all, it was nothing like the jaw dropping experiences touted on YouTube. It felt really, like a bit of a con. I would REALLY like to hear the REAL opinions of others who have purchased this headset. Have you got it up and running? How does it perform for you? Does the reality match expectation?

Hi all, I cannot get my textures to load in VR. They load fine outside of VR. I am running a Pico 4 with SteamVR running OpenXR and using Virtual Desktop. The only thing I can think that has changed is the installation of OBS screen capture software and Adobe Premier Pro… Any suggestions on what to do?

Hi all. I now have DCS running with a Pico 4 using OpenXR. Is anyone able to explain to me what the Pixel Density setting does and what I should be manipulating in the OpenXR toolkit to get the best visual image at a playable FPS? More importantly, what order should I be manipulating them in? Cheers.

So, I have been able to connect nicely with VD and SteamVR. It seems like in the VD performance overlay, the runtime is Open VR. Is that the same as Open XR? Now, I want to know what 3rd party plugins I should use to improve performance, including reshaders, and how to set these plugins up. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Another question. Should I be setting both the SteamVR resolution % slider and the pixel density slider in DCS, or just one?

Brill thanks! That worked.

Another question. Do I have to run Steam VR, or can I connect with VD and launch DCS from the desktop and get VR without SteamVR installed?

Thanks folks. A couple of questions. Where should I measure the FPS and using what? Should I or should I not be running SteamVR? Cheers.

Good evening, I have a Pico 4 headset and PC running a 4070ti and 7900X. I run the Steam open beta version of DCS. I am DYING to know the way to setup my gear above for maximum performance. I just cannot understand the pieces of software and setup I need to maximise performance. I already have Virtual Desktop. Is anyone able to write in plain English how I can set myself up for max VR performance? Cheers, Jimbo
