  1. I must add now that I’ve dual booted to a fresh copy of Win 11, with just DCS and Pimax software, openXR etc. (strict orders to the missus and kids not to use this version) My performance has shot up to high 80s with High setting in DCS and native res in OpenXR, (DFR running) dropping this res down a bit (3800) and running CAS with DFR and I’ve never seen anything like it, solid 90. Spitfire’s canopy open, drinking in the engine noise (non Dmas sadly) and just buzzing over the white cliffs, I felt like I could rest my arm on the window edge…and fry myself a kipper. I fancy sticking with this now and relearn the Mossie so I can fly Requiem’s campaign, which I’ve waited for a headset of this quality to fly for a long time… it should be worth the wait. I’m getting slight stutters though and heard people try 120hz and then lock frames to half, or try 72hr, but again I’m just starting this journey with the Crystal. 5800X3D is also meant to help latency and those stutters (100mb L3 cache) Regarding the comfort I was moaning about, oddly with the smoother image, I’m not moving around half as much and with the G2 after market head strap, I’m not finding it as uncomfortable. I had to sell a kidney to get this, so I’ll just have to read about the Aero now.
  2. I'm currently testing the Crystal, getting it heavily discounted in the Black Friday sales, I've been a G2 user for years but really wanted a better sweet spot (looking through a straw!) and with eye tracking. The Crystal seemed the ticket with all the other benefits over the Aero. A big one for me was the report of a higher vertical FOV and so better for dogfighting, which is what I love to do, especailly in a Spitfire! I found the setup fine, had an aftermarket top head strap from my G2 which I used on the Crystal, as it was just painful on my forehead. This did help. Eyetracking was sorted and works really well (thx Matt). However, currently I'm struggling getting a decent performance while flying over the channel while dogfighting 109s, dropping down to 20 fps, this is with a 4090 and a AMD 5900x. Anyway this could be down to my old version of windows 10 and currently I'm moving over to Win11 as this is meant to be better with multi cores. However, though these repeated dogfight sessions as I kept adjusting settings through OpenXR/DCS and reducing res to try and get a decent FPS, the fact this is a bloody heavy bit of kit on your noggin and swinging it around trying to find your target's wingman, was just painful after a while for me. Flying jets and locking on targets via the radar and generally a slower pace flying is okay, but for me, loving WW2 fights, I'm sending it back and have ordered the Aero while still it's still on 10% discount. Picked up a secondhand version 1 basestation for 50 quid and waiting for the Aero. I hope the lighter weight, a fan (the Crystal was foging up for me, especailly at the start of a session) and the hope of better fps with a more mature software....fingers crossed!!
  3. Ah, thanks Shrike :) I didn't get that at all in the readme. I'll give yours a try and report back. Bmezz - I've changed the * to a . as its smaller for air targets.
  4. The labels.lua file? If so it doesn't tell me the format or where to use it. I'm not clear on the correct format - --[distance] = {format , alignment,color_blending_k,opacity,shift_pixels_x,shift_in_pixels_y} [10] = {"" ,"LeftBottom",1 , 1}, [5000] = {"}%.","LeftBottom",1 , 1}, Do I add in the opacity 0.1 after the %. Thanks
  5. Thanks Tyger. Unsure of the format for changing the opacity, where would I add this parameter - [5000] = {"}%*","LeftBottom",1 , 1}, I want to make it a lot lighter nearer in.
  6. Does anyone know how you can have labels on, but instead of the words it's just a dot?
  7. Thanks Neldrion, those setting really helped.
