Thanks!!! Always enjoy these:thumbup:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm under the impression performance in the 8KX will be better than The Pimax current line up because The Native Resolution will be far better therefore letting you leave DCS Pixel Density and Steam Super Sampling at a lower rate ,Giving Your GFI a break and free to do other tasks.

Looks Like "Maverick" Top Gun II won't be The only Movie I'll be seeing this June....Check this out!!

Bummer:cry: I really feel your pain,Especially with that powerful system,I can't see any reason why you can't enjoy the immersion of VR. One thing that DCS 2.5.6 Open Beta did do is eliminat The Need for (PP) Parallel Projection to be turned on in Pitool....You should pick up 10-20 FPS with this being turned off,Hope you can get your issue sorted out...If I can think of anything else I'll be sure to chime in :thumbup:

Sorry,I don't have or never tried The Index,I can say The "Screen Door" Effect was hardly noticeable and resolution much improved over The Rift CV1 This video might be worth watching

Correct,The 8kx is still in development stage,I did pre-ordered in Oct/19 for a estimated release date of 4/20 but with Current World Affairs as they are I'm really not optimistic about actually seeing them in use till late summer. I'm currently using a Pimax 5k+ which I enjoy very much,The resolution is very good and The FOV really made a huge difference for me. I have had no trouble with the headset since I got it 18 months ago. My last HMD was a Rift CV! so this was a incredible step up.

New PiTool released said to help with Stutter https://community.openmr.ai/t/new-pitool-1-0-1-255-released/26217

You're Welcome,It also might help to delete these two folders...fxo and metalshaders2 found in C/Users/Your Name/Saved Games/DCS Open Beta/ DCS will recreate them on next start up.

Yes,Have a look at this great Utility https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 ....BTW a New OB was launched today,I have not downloaded/cked FPS yet,

Are you using The New DCS 2.5.6 Open Beta?? Lots of VR users are reporting a significant FPS Decrease.

You could try this Alpha Release...Lois are Happy with it. https://community.openmr.ai/t/alpha-pitool-1-0-1-254a-jan-21-2020/25366

***According to DCS Twitter Feed,Patch comes out Tomorrow with Ka-50 update*** "DCS Helicopter Bundle Sales & New Ka-50 Cockpit! PS! The free KA-50 Cockpit update comes out tomorrow, Thursday Feb 20! We decided to release the video one d... youtube.com"

I could never go back to 2D flat Screen

:thumbup: Any VR FPS increase is a Huge +:thumbup:

I had major issues playing old missions[made pre-ob patch] but playing instant action missions seems to be NP at all? This is in SP I should say.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Nice Save!!!

:thumbup: Really Appreciate you keeping us up to date:thumbup: Thank You!!!

https://theaviationist.com/2020/02/12/u-s-navy-carrier-air-wing-1-commander-achieves-astounding-1200th-career-arrested-landing/ Just a handful of naval aviators have completed 1,200 trap landings on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Since Feb. 1, Capt. Robert Gentry, is one of them. Landing on a carrier is anything but easy, especially at night, in bad weather, high-seas and after a combat mission lasting many hours. That’s why, for instance, from the last three quarters of a mile all the way to touchdown the pilot approaching a U.S. aircraft carrier also rely on LSOs [Landing Signal Officers – radio callsign “Paddles” – skilled and experienced pilots whose job is to watch the deck-landing of all the airplanes and provide the pilots with radio guidelines to adjust the final phase of the approach, complementing IFLOLS (Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System) and ICLS (Instrumental Carrier Landing System) visual information.] As you may understand the number of completed arrested landings talks a lot about the experience of a naval aviator: it’s a testament to the number of training and combat missions flown and completed in all the conditions during several years of “blue water ops”. On Feb. 1, Capt. Robert Gentry, a naval flight officer, commander of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, completed his 1,200th career trap landing flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet of the Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 211 “Fighting Checkmates” deployed with Harry S. Truman to the U.S. 5th Fleet area. According to the U.S. Navy, few aviators have made the “The Grand Club” (as the Tailhook Association, an independent, fraternal organization supporting sea-based aviation, has defined aviators who have completed 1,000 traps), fewer still, perhaps in the single digits have surpassed 1,200. Capt. Gerry was in the backseat of a VFA-211 “Rhino” (as the Super Hornet is dubbed aboard U.S. flattops) piloted by Cmdr. Kenneth Hockycko, the commanding officer of VFA-211. “To share his 1,200th trap was an honor and, to me, symbolic of what we hold dearest as naval aviators – commitment to our craft, commitment to mission accomplishment, and commitment to one another,” said Hockycko in a news release.

HHmmmm???? I'm off work for the rest of the week....I don't have a great track record with patches/modules dropping when I'm absent....Maybe I should call The Boss and tell him I'm coming in for The Good of The DCS Community:D....Then for sure 2.5.6 Open Beta will appear!! lol :megalol:
