    Absolute clusterfk. Using Revo Uninstaller Pro which removes everything, including registry stuff etc. Removed Pimax Play and installed 1.29. Installed all the MBuccia stuff, used Focus to confirm Quad is working in game, NO frame-capping stuff set up anywhere but in the game can no longer get anything above 60fps and the frame-time window is a constant flow of green spikes. Image quality is trash too. Oh well, hopefully I can get rid of it all with Revo and go back to how it was before without issues.

    I'm going to have a go with Pimax 1.29 and MBuccia's stuff and see what happens.

    The suckerberg parasite ethos. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when they interview job candidates.

    Very weird.

    It very clearly did on my setup. I had MBuccia's set up with a very small and easily visible focus window. When I enabled Pimax' Quadviews the focus window was a lot bigger. The Pimax one also ran the game a tiny bit better (less micro-stutter). I assumed this was because the CPU wasn't having to run an external app (native software vs external) but who knows. I certainly would have noticed a 15% degradation in performance! (as mentioned by WipeUout). I'll play around with the settings mentioned above but won't expect anything major, I've previously run the game with potato settings and it made next to no difference. Since then, with all the incremental hardware and Windows tweaking, that's where the difference was slowly made. But, new build so worth a new punt. Game Bar Capture is the only software that has zero noticeable performance impact. Before that I tried NVidia's stuff, Bandicam, FRAPS and OBS, all those hit performance very badly.

    Mariannas, absolute stutter/jerk fest, even out to sea and looking at the island from a distance. Look away to sea and it goes smooth. I record live, Game Bar, it records the monitor VR mirror. Pimax Play at native render (1.0), DCS VR PD at 1.5. Settings:

    Good post Luc.

    I had x4 16GB at 6400, went to x2 32GB at 6400, no discernible difference but at least the Benchmark thing doesn't slate me for not having XMP enabled. Lol. NB: My x4 sticks were rated at 7200, so I could only BOOST, not XMP. For some reason the Benchmark then didn't see them as "Dual Channel" (or even Quad Channel) for some reason. All very confusing. Having learned that lesson I made sure the x2 32GB were rated at 6400, which is generally considered to be the fastest the best motherboard chipsets can commonly handle (without getting into voltage manipulations and similar malarkey). But watch a few expert videos and discover RAM speeds and timings don't really make much difference anyway (within reason).

    Sorry dude, age is my only excuse. Video, to give a baseline for my definition of The Stutter. It's hard to visualize each person's experience but here's mine for comparison. In actual fact this run was a fair bit worse than usual, but hey ho, it's in the ballpark of what I generally get. Yes. If Quadviews in Pimax Play is enabled it takes over from MBuccia's one.

    Aye carumba, that sounds like a recipe for complete head-fkry. Lol. Get two new SSDs and plug those in after removing the existing ones and do the whole shebang brand new (assuming money's not a consideration). W10 and DCS on separate drives. It's the only way to be sure.

    13900k, 4090, 64GB RAM at 6400. Work your way through this lot for fine-tuning that might help:
  12. Panzerlang
    No. If you set the headset to auto shut down it will of course crash DCS VR. There's a setting in Pimax Play for auto shutdown, mine is set to "10 minutes". In "General" you can set it from "Never" to "1 Hour".

    In my case, Pimax Play native OpenXR and Quadviews worked a little better on my old install and just as good on my fresh W11-Pro 24H2 install.
  14. Panzerlang
    Sorry dude, thought I had. No, I'm using the Pimax Play software now. I did previously have MBucchia's software...turbo on or off, no difference (OpenXR Companion). I've had that cockpit jitter too but it was tied to overall settings (at 120htz it was very obvious). Maybe try the cockpit jpg settings? (250 vs 1040 or something).
  15. Panzerlang
    I had it for a bit (the NVidia App did it) but I saw no impact from it in the game for good or bad.
  16. Panzerlang
    Oh, I've completely turned off all anti aliasing without any significant visible difference to image quality but with definitely smoother frames.
  17. Panzerlang
    Nice. But yes, it's a crying shame that different maps have massively different performance for no apparent reason. Caucasus and Mariannas have very similar building and tree densities, but the latter is a spike & stutter fest. Like an idiot I went and bought every single map, only to find most of them are unplayable in VR. Not impressed with ED on that front, at all. Maybe they should focus on making the latest map useable before pumping out a new one.
  18. Panzerlang
    Is it not possible to swap the lenses?
  19. Panzerlang
    Ok, I guess the OG and Light have different firmwares then. Nothing for the OG currently.
  20. Panzerlang
    I thought I'd give 72htz another try after installing the latest Pimax Play software but same old same old, it makes the stutter worse. I'm starting to agree with the notion of others, that it's the Pimax software at issue rather than DCS. How can REDUCING the headset's workload make things the opposite of betterer? Lol. 120htz, way more stutter (as to be expected).
  21. Panzerlang
    Ah, I think you're confusing firmware with software.
  22. Panzerlang
    I have only DCS on this rig after I did the OS re-install and I'm running OpenXR and Quadviews on the Pimax native software. I tried the DCS FPS slider on 95 and 45. 95 was no visible difference to 300 but on 45 the image (looking sideways out the cockpit at 50m altitude) was awful. Micro-stutter on steroids. Firmware? No, I downloaded the latest Pimax Play but I had no idea there was a firmware update too. I'll do that now. Um, no I won't, it says there isn't one. Lol. My current firmware is 1.3.0_au0531

    Caucasus, very smooth, Mariannas a spike/stutter fest. Why? Is it a palm-tree thing? Even from a distance, out to sea, if I look at the sea it's smooth. Soon as I turn my head and get the island in view, spikes up the yang-yang.
  24. Panzerlang
    Awesome news!
  25. Panzerlang
    What headset? I now have to re-center my Crystal with its controller before I fire up DCS. Once in the game I hit the game's VR re-center button (just to fine-tune the view). So, try re-centering your HEADSET before firing up DCS.
