Thanks, @MadMonty! This worked for me also; I can see the stars on a moonless night, and most, not all, of the glare haze is gone. However, around the SRS text and JHMCS (Viper), there is still a noticeable hazy glow. I don't know if this is realistic (in real life) for the JHMCS at night or not. I flew a sunny day mission at RMS on the Cold War map, and it, too, seemed realistic with scattered clouds. Now to get quadviews working in my favor. I'm still getting the jagged staggers when I look to the side, which isn't good when flying past a ground target I need to hit when I come back around. UPDATE: I put in a bug report on the hazy glow. It's still noticeable, and also in Falcon BMS, which I highlighted. Be interesting to see if there's a software solution for this.

Yes...the Super is a great headset, so far. TBH, I fly Falcon BMS, due to the dynamic campaign and new terrain, as my main combat sim. So, I'll continue to tweak DCS as I have time...priorities! I've also had some good luck with MSFS2020 so far. The Super's immersion, given the FOV, is wonderful. I am using NeckSafer, too. Slowly getting all of it tweaked.

I was using quadviews with DCS, but it worsened my VR experience; now I don't use it/them. I have my gamma tweaked downward, as you do. I've not tried any night flying...just received my super 50PPD u/w two days ago; that said, I think I have the basic setup complete.
-
My Ultrawide is about to ship and I had the G2. Will let you know. I might also get the 57PPD. Stay tuned...
-
Why did you not use the MH16 stick? If you fly helos, is there a profile that simulates a cyclic?
-
How's the FOV with the 57PPD? TIA
-
Yes. I have the HF8. I find it about half as necessary as TrackIR/headtracking, which I know is a bold statement. I was living without it, but now that I have it, I don't want to give it up. I fly mostly fixed-wing aircraft, and now when I drop gear or deploy the speed brake, I know they are working. I have mine configured to give landing gear feedback through the seat bottom, G-force and stall through the back, and speed brake all over. For prop aircraft and helos, I have the vibration set to all of the seat's vibration points. I use HF8 in DCS and BMS, and in DCS, I use it on my helos. When you get into the helo transition phase, you'll get vibrations that don't exist for forward flight. So, it increases immersion when using the control inputs. I have no idea how realistic it is, but that's the experience it provides. For DCS, you can use their hardware and software directly, as well as for MSFS2020.

@Calvin.Pimax...would you please comment about actions underway to find and fix this issue? Thanks.
-
Wow...not what I would expect, simply because some of the Pimax Super's demo videos showed crystal-clear night flying, albeit in other simulations.
-
I am in the same situation, still awaiting my headset and absolutely no software installed other than base simulators (DCS, BMS, MSFS); that said, this is promising info. Thanks!
-
DCS bug or Pimax bug? Thx.
-
Sadly, I did get a chuckle out of this. Thanks for that! Pls don't hold that against me...<wink>
-
Dang...sorry to hear this for many reasons. I'm expecting my Ultrawide sometime next month...unclear if it will suffer the same fate. Hang in there!

I don't have mine yet, but I'm going Super Ultrawide 50PPD, and then early next year, I MIGHT buy the 57PPD optical engine only. Folks have said the 50PPD resolution is excellent, so for flight simming, I'm going for more FOV initially.
