I fail to see this as a bad thing. They’re admitting that they need more QC time to get it right, vs subjecting all early adopters to be beta testers at best, alpha (early access or whatever term) at worse. Honestly, I’d wish that they slowed down just a bit to let their products breathe and mature a bit. I’m starting to get the feeling that the PCL was a stop gap product that will soon see its sunset. No regrets at the moment as mine is so far flawless in operation.

Just about to post this too lol.

More about the customer service and less about the HMDU strap, that's why. I was curious to see what the turnaround for something as minor as that was. Turns out that it was one day from initial contact that they aimed to resolve it. Then two days after to get a resolution (confirm shipment address etc) then a promise for update on shipping, and that's where the wheels fall off. Five days since then and nothing. Which tracks with the other issue I had where there was an initial flurry of back and forth and then, nothing else follows.

Just finished this one, Chainsaw vectors you to 040 I stayed on that until new orders. 051 was the next, so I flew that, tagged the Blackjack and then after I got the new tasking, I believe it was 055 which goes down to 7000, I followed that and proceeded to work on getting my grand slam, when my wingman sent an Aim-9x right up my tail pipe Redid the mission and yeah, same procedure. This ended in success with 2 crashing on final for some reason and losing me 4 points

Wait just how close or far do you have to be? I’ve played this mission 3 times and get to intercept and I’ll pull up about as close as one does when stationed for refueling f14s to get the pilot attention and…. Nothing. I even pulled up to the nose and that backfired (pun intended) as it turned right into me and destroyed my right wing. But seriously it shouldn’t be that difficult and I don’t want to skip the mission Fourth time success. I think I know what the problem was. I staggered my approaches. First on the left, then the right, then left (where I got clipped) Neither time did I get the handshake message. Then I went left again, and all the message triggers worked. Feisty bugger. Yay, we're at war...

Oh this is great news! One of my favs growing up. Will there be an upgrade path for this who have the FC-15c. Figured I would ask even if the answer is no.

I’m not near my computer but isn’t it just changing the background which is on the right page?

You got me there on the reprojection. Not a clue on what that is lol. I’m using openxr tk CAS on with FFR I don’t see any motion reprojection anywhere in the settings here. It’s sharp and I’m happy with my visuals. I followed the “Pimax best DCS vr settings and optimization” guide and then tinkered to around until I got what I wanted.

Can't help you on the intel front but with a 4080s I have to run the resolution down to .78 (just above the medium resolution setting) and lock my frames at 72fps and generally the FPS will stay at 70-72fps. There's an option in pimax play to run it at 120 and then lock it to half the frame rate to get you to 60hz/60fps.

Far. I got mine from Honsvr they along with a majority of vr lens makers offer varying discounts.

I had this issue as well, however after much usage it resolved itself. Now with the bare minimum of friction needed to hold it in place, both axis don't fall over (The right one being the heaviest and obviously requiring more friction) and don't feel like an arm workout either.

I do this every once and a while. Super easy to do as it's a total of 8 Allen Screws. Four for the base and two smaller ones for the cams. I have my dampers set to what I need for Helo ops, which also work great when the cams are in. Do get the recommended Damping grease.

Pimax play is just a launcher for me at this point. Other than that my unit works great. What software issues are there for the PCL?

Thanfully I haven't had any hardware issues with the actual HMDU, it's been flawless, what I do have a problem is with the HMDU strap as it has started to fray in the middle. Causing these brail-like dots to form (which are quite hard) My current solution is to invert the strap obviously not ideal because I can't easily adjust the strap that way. I put in a warranty request with them (bought the PCL in Sept of last year) and now I eagerly await the passive aggressive response that I got last year when inquiring about getting my ED points that a CSR told me they would put in my account, then never did.

HAGS on gives me a performance boost vs it being off in VR on WIN11

And after being resigned to what I thought was a return to stutter, it’s now gone. I did mess about with some openxr settings. I had NIS upscale on, but then turned it off in favor of CAS, turned off turbo, Hags and enabled them subsequently disabled NIS in DCS and not in openxr (ghosting was really bad on aircraft) then dlss, but then disabled all that. Re-enabled HAGS (gained back 20% performance) at this point I was just looking for the best performance to visual settings as I had given up on trying to get back to stutter free. Then I ran a free flight, and as I was looking over the side for some BDA on some practice targets when I noticed the lack of stuttering. I continued on at various alts, and yup, gone. I’m still running the combination of FFR and Quadviews. So freaking weird.

Where is this news that Pimax is going or about to go under coming from? This is the first time I’m reading about this. I’m personally not a fan of their “flooding the zone” tactics, and would much prefer that they focus and perfect their established products and customer service which flat out lies.

If this card (5090) can at least give me a 25-30% boost in rasterization over my 4080s I’d be happy. It would push me over 85fps so then I can increase certain visual settings a bit higher to get back to down to 72fps without any up scaling.

Yeah, can’t wait for the scalper tax to hit and that’s from the retailers, nvm the actual scalpers. I’ll still get one, and see if it can actually power the PCL at native resolution with some added bells and whistles, and if it doesn’t back to wherever I buy it from.

What are your Pimax play settings and OpenxrTK settings? Is DLSS on? Any upscale, quad views etc? I also use 1.5 cheaters and have an astigmatism for which I use the prescription lens on my PCL, perfectly sharp.

THANK YOU! I was going nuts thinking what the heck is going on, don't know if this is a product of some crosswinds in the KOLA campaign, but some of my T/O and landings have been a bit spicy at times.

Grrr, updated to the new pimax play, and my smooth gameplay was nuked. Hello stutter my old friend . . .

That would be 4 because of the Sec problem followed by Lead. I was surprised lead landed to be honest, as don’t the A.I. usually fly off into outer space? lol. In any case I thought it was kinda funny seeing the guard face down, and then thinking oh no will the mission bug out and fail me.

I mean if you're looking to safe on some costs there's these or even this one. I'm sure they might be cheaper in price but likewise in quality. Those are but a few I found (and I'm sure you found them too) but I'm sure they'll work just fine. That answers your last question. Unfortunately, the friction part will have you having to deal with it until broken in. I have mine set so that the friction is just enough to hold the throttles in place, obviously the left needing less than the right. I do not lock my throttles, so I never worry about them falling as a result of their combined weight.

Now I'm not trying to blame anyone specific, but someone ran over the guard at the de-arming station and when I pressed the ordinance guys on the side of the taxiway, they were kinda shifty about the whole affair, claimed that the snow obscured their vision. Did this happen for anyone else?
