Made by reservation November 11th 24, bought the 57PPD November 22nd 24, switched to the 50PPD later, got an email to confirm 50PPD and address last friday and a shipment notice (to Germany) today.

Perhaps because the patch, at 24 MB (for me), was also the smallest ever distributed

Waiting for my Crystal Super. Would be very happy to read about your decision of keeping it or not...

did that several times. But only get a max of 3 MB/s and often it drops to zero...

Any server problems known? DL-Rate is very poor...

Germany? Gekauft! THANK YOU ED!!!

I tried to not male it too kompliziert for Herrn Newy

Jawohl Sir

It does feel very Deutsch today. Daumen drücken!

Look at my other post regarding the problem: I have the same problem, only entering key settings and exiting it (without any changes), solves the problem for this flight.

When I press F2 to select the external view, I cannot change the view using the mouse. I can see minimal movements, but the position of the view is fixed (so there is a slight jerk when I move the mouse). In this respect, I can see that the mouse is providing input, but the view remains unchanged. There is no other input device connected to the axes for the view, so that's not the problem. Yesterday I found out that I only have to go to the menu of the key bindings once (without changing anything) and then back to the simulation and I can already move the view with the mouse. Does anyone know the problem? Is there a solution?

I feel the same way. My time for flying in DCS is very limited, usually only two evenings a week. When I fly a campaign mission for an hour and a half and fail, it is sometimes very frustrating to end the evening without any success. That comes very close to reality, but from time to time, I would like to simply restart after the third or fourth failure at the IP for particularly difficult missions. But if I understand it correctly, the save-game function is not currently intended for campaigns. Is that only the case at the moment, or will it not be possible in the future either?

Seems I have missed the 2025 newsletter announcement. Where did you find it?

Great video! But 17 minutes to explain how VR compensation has to bet set up while with motionsystems it‘s included in the software. Just plug and play. But of course it costs a lot more…

Does it have motion compensation?

Thank you for your message. The platform will be delivered to your home, along with the Power Cabinet, and all you have to do is unpack it, wire it up (simple and well explained) and connect it to the power and your PC. The power connection is a high-voltage connection, so you would have to take care of that. You'll need a few strong friends or a moving company to help you, as the platform weighs a lot. However, the same applies to pianos... The software for the PC is included with the product, it's all plug & play, so it's really super easy to set up and get started. The customers are personally looked after on Discord by the COO (Pawel). Pawel is virtually online 24/7 and I have never seen such fast, good and personal support. Whenever there are questions or problems, Pawel and his team solve them immediately. I built the entire cockpit on the base plate of the platform myself. If you haven't seen it yet, I have an updated video of my cockpit including the belt tensioner: You can use conventional cockpit manufacturers such as https://www.monster.tech/, or you can build it yourself. I chose Monstertech at the time, configured my cockpit and indicated to Motionsystems where I wanted additional holes in the base plate of the platform – they were happy to do that for me as a service. I've had the platform for 4 years now, never had a problem and don't regret it for a day. What would I do differently? Probably choose the more advanced platform https://motionsystems.eu/product/motion-platforms/ps-6tl-350/ which, thanks to linear technology, is arguably even better than my current one with servo motors. Of course, I had the advantage that Motionsystems is only 8 hours away from me, so I drove by before making such a big investment and had everything shown to me. Maybe you have a chance to travel to Poland (always worth a trip) or you can contact Motionsystems and they will give you the names of customers in the US who will show you such a platform (privately). I have also had Motion Systems customers at my place, the small communities support each other very well here. If you want me to link you to a contact person, just let me know and I'll send you a PM.

Great video! Dynamic campaign highly anticipated, just can‘t learn any further modules

I already had a ticket and asked for an official confirmation of changing my order from 57PPD to 50PPD. They then send me an email confirmation and I now also see the correct (changed) order in my profile on the website. Never been a Pimax customer so far, but their support was on time and helpful. Now I am wainting for the first reviews of the Pimax Super next year and than I am happy to wait for the 50PPD...

Tested DCS yesterday and it looks brilliant. SC deck crew also make so much fun. Thank you ED for the good work. However, I noticed yesterday two tings: During an F18 campaign in Syria, the mission started at sunrise. I was surprised to see a bright spot in front of the mountains in the east. It turned out to be the reflection of the sun in the fog, which should have been blocked by the mountain because the sun was still below the mountain range (but its image was visible in the fog in front of the mountains). Unfortunately, I didn't make a track for this, but I would like to mention it here anyway. Furthermore, the F5 nearest AC button no longer works for me. Has something been changed in the basic settings?

Did you cancel the order and placed a new order? Pimax „manually“ changed my order and I will not see it on the website. I do not trust this process fully.

The 50PPD ist now available, shipment estimated for March 24 (instead of Jan 24 for 57 PPD). I have just asked the customer service to change my order from 57PPD (120 HFOV) to 50PPD (135 HFOV) - even though extra 57PPD unit would "only" be 399 $. That was no problem at all for Pimax. I can´t think of a use case having to panels, as I am always looking for a wider FOV. That´s why I am willing to wait a bit longer until Spring 24.

Same here, so I start saving for the 50PPD as the RTX5090

Let´s wait and see. They advertise, that we don´t run into perfomance problems, since we can omit Anti Aliasing and take advantage of Dynamic Foveated Rendering. I have a powerful PC, if that is not enough, Pimax runs into deep problems.

Just ordered!

There's a good old joke in Germany on the subject: ‘What's the quickest way to get a Starfighter? Buy a field and wait’ When I look at the ratio of 292 out of 916, it's still better than the outcome of my flights in DCS.
