Yeah, I was starting the game from pimax play and it would launch DCS like it should, just would not carry any of the settings over.

I'm on the updated branch of Pimax play, the newest one. On the previous version of pimaxplay(the one released a month or so ago), DFR worked perfectly for me. It seems when I updated to the new one, something broke making DFR set to something like 8% resolution and nothing I changed would fix that. I tried doing a complete wipe of Pimax play, and then reinstalling the newest one again(only one available for download.) That still did not fix the issue. After some more troubleshooting I found that "Enable Program Settings" that allowed you to select DCS in pimax play and change settings such as DFR, Resolution for that specific program was messed up and not changing anything under DFR options(maybe more options as well, didn't test). I fixed it by disabling "Enable program settings" and just doing all the settings from the "global" option(I think thats what its called.) After doing that, its working like before. So it seems like the update broke something that doesn't allow me to change settings for specific games. IDK if its the updates fault or something going on behind the scenes on my PC. I'd assume it might just of been a bug only effecting since I haven't really seen anyone else having the same issue.

Yeah, I understood you the first time. Its just laziness on my part, hehe. I already have to launch 9 programs just to play DCS: Logictec G hub for headphones, Simhaptic, DCR, Necksavervr, Simapp Pro, Pimaxplay, Moza Cockpit, SRS, Then DCS. I don't want to add any more to the list and I've found Pimax's DFR to run really well for me, no stutters and looks great. I used to use Mbuchia QV's, but I'm happy with what I've got in pimax's version.

Wanted to report back, I figured it out. The new pimax play broke something in the DFR settings for me, for some reason any of the selected default options for DFR set the render resolution outside my field of view to 8%. Didn't matter which one I selected, it set it to 8% resolution. (see picture). I was able to fix it by using the custom setting and putting in my own options. IDK why this happened, even did a fresh install of Pimax play, deleting all the folders in the appdata/local folders and the main folder and it still did it. Just wanted to post in case anyone else ran into this issue in the future. null

Thanks a ton! I'll give it a go when I get home today.

Thanks for responding, do you happen to know how to revert back to the last pimax play version? I've looked all over pimax's website and could only find the most recent release of Pimax play. The last version worked fine for me, but it seems they do not keep old versions available for DL? I used to use Mbuchia QV, but did like the simplicity of not having to launch it. Maybe I should check it out again. I have pretty much the exact same setup as you, 4090, @72 with a 14900. I've had my headset running perfectly with DFR for the las couple of years, just something with this last update broke something and I'm pulling out my hair to get it to work again.

I have the OG Crystal, Have not flown in a couple of weeks, but last time I played DFR was working perfectly. I came back today to a new Pimax play update and a DCS update. Ran the updates, now when I play DCS DFR is unplayable due to the extremely low res output outside of the DFR box. To explain better, in the box where i'm looking and eye is tracked its clear. But anything outside of that box is at an insanely low resolution. I've tried restarting my headset, reinstalling pimax play, doing a fresh install of pimax play, running a repair on DCS, completely shutting down my headset, removing the battery and then restarting it but no luck. I've also tried playing with settings in piplay, trying to turn dfr off and then on again, switching between all the DFR presets, etc. When dfr is off DCS is at the normal resolution. I'm at my wits end, spent 3 and a half hours trying to troubleshoot this. Any help would be much appreciated it. I've posted a picture of what it looks like inside my headset for reference.

Loving the map! Just wondering if anyone else has been seeing this issue? I'm on a Pimax Crystal OG. It feels like Early morning, evening the lighting is way too dark for the terrain and makes it extremely hard to spot anything on the ground. I've tried messing with the gamma settings in game and it only seems to make the sky, and in cockpit really bright while doing little to make the ground any lighter. Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm rocking a 4090 and an I9 14900k w/ 64gb DDR and The CW server runs bad for me. I have no issues with any of the other MP servers. Others say they have no issue, maybe they just have a higher tolerance or something but Its never ran good for me, or many others I know. I'd rather play somewhere like ShadowReapers CW or elsewhere.

100% agree, when I first heard about being able to save coming to DCS, this is what I thought it was. I mean it is cool for what it is but we really really need to be able to save for the paid for campaign missions. I've actually never finished one for this very reason. Nothing more deflating than flying for 2 hours, messing up then being forced to fly 2 hours of the same exact thing you just did... 3 to 4 times over and over.

This has flickering thing has been driving me crazy as well. Just a shot in the dark.... I've noticed that anything I play that is not a Retribution mission on my dedicated server seems to work just fine, no flickering at all... that I've noticed. Just playing single one off missions, or other stuff and everything seems to work just fine. But the flickering happens 100% of the time when playing my Retribution campaigns. Wondering if that is the same for you all?

If you don't mind me asking, what fixed your issue with the A4 weapons! I've been banging my head against a wall for a month trying to figure that one out. Best regards

Just checking in to report this is also happening to us on my Dedicated server running a Retribution/Liberation campaigns. Have not tried a repair, but will soon. Only mods we have running are C130, A-4E & the black hawk. We are flying the F4, but have a bunch of AI A4E's running ground attacks. Same issues on all planes, the ordinance & Bags pop in and out, sometimes its worse than other times. LMK if the repair works!

I have the crystal, I can't help you with the first question but the fog around the lenses is due to the local dimming being set too high. Turn it down from Extreme or whatever the max setting is to the next one down and you should be good to go.

Awesome suggestions, I'll def try some of these out. Thanks a ton!
