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.

So, with the Pimax Super's FOV, can you do without XRNeckSafer? I planned to use XRNS with my as-of-yet-undelivered Pimax Super 50PPD Ultrawide, so I am curious.

"Famous" or infamous? <wink>

Agreed...I don't know if there are Autobahn runways planned for the CW map, but I'd like to see a few robust autobahn runways modeled after real-life areas, with all the hotpit refueling, rearming, ATC, etc. This would add to the realism and enthusiasm for the map and its potential scenarios. Thanks for your time.

Super 50PPD?

Oh...I know that's a bridge too far, having full fidelity flyable modules. I'm just happy with static, even happier with models flown by AI.

What's the chance we'll get DCS-official static C-5/Galaxy and C-141/Starlifter, the latter with both short and stretch versions, please? It would be great and authentic if they also flew as AI; even having them there for ramp ambience would be a step in the right Cold War direction. Is this on the roadmap?

I was wondering if I can use my Bluetooth Bose earbuds for sound...just wondering if the mic will be ok with DCS-SRS/BMS-IVC; I'll have to test. I have an Arctis over-the-ear wireless set that works very well, but it has my TrackIR semi-permanently attached. It won't work with a VR headset.

The latest from a PIMAX production status email:

Is this delay due to inadequate sound from DMAS?

I'm not an expert on the GPUs, at least not iterations within a series. I've read enough good about the NVIDIA 4xxx series, but somebody else would have to comment. I went best of breed, just to keep me from having to agonize over this decision. My PC maker helped confirm this for future-proofing...I want to get 5-6 years out of this rig, if not more. I went with 1000W power supply cuz my 800W wasn't enough for what I was running on my old system, so I stayed with that size on my new rig. The rest looks good for your price range, IMHO.

Agreed, especially larger. I was told to keep speeds up, put the sims on the drive with the O/S. I have BMS, DCS, MSFS, and IL2, and I went with 4TB M2 SSD. @axas I really struggled with the GPU pick: AMD or NVIDIA. Studied it and agonized for over a year. I had an AMD for 7-8 years, but I always ran into NVIDIA's tech being factored into code first...leaving me always behind and wanting more. For my latest build this spring, I went with NVIDIA GPU, primarily because 3 custom gaming PC firms advised me to go high-end NVIDIA. BTW, I went with an AMD CPU, which was also highly recommended. I'm not regretting either decision so far.

There's a PDF included in the zip file with the instructions...tells you there.
