Maybe this is old news, but why does Pimax want to know my location, where my PC is at, at all times when I turn my PC on? The installed Pimax software literary checks my location every single minute my PC is on and online. Every single minute. Why? I came over this just by accident and have now turned off location services from Windows for the time being. I have checked the history for this for the last week now, and only Pimax is listed as a app that checks my location. And it checks this every single minute. Waste of resources, and there's a privacy concern in this too I think. @Calvin.Pimax Why do you need to know this? And why check it for every minute that passes?

Thanks! And this pretty much sums up my experience too. Except that I don't use motion platform and really haven't had any tracking issues. And the extra headstrap solution - I gave up mounting it. Too difficult for my fingers. And also during mounting, before I gave up, I found out what you experienced too, that it's too close to/or would touch - the face gasket. I understand that you have found a solution, but my fingers and my patience can't take it... What were Pimax thinking while making this solution? I also have followed Tallymouse's video, except for that I didn't care to make DCS launchable from the Pimax Play Menus. I just use the DCS launcher. Also, I never made the even higher resolution shadows thingie that Tallymouse did. I use 72hz too. 90hz is too much, I'd rather have a few more details and some headroom and have everything buttery smooth without any stuttering. I believe that you not only have to re-install Tallymouse Quadviews companion app after Pimax update, but also Mbucchias Quadviews solution? The Mura effect, I agree with you on this too. Because while flying and looking outside out on the sky (where it would be visible) I have to de-focus my eyes to make it appear. And therefore, for me, it is not a problem. I accept that some might have gotten headsets with more mura than mine, but if anyone is complaining about a mura effect that only is visible when you focus on something else than what you are actually looking at - then I don't get it. One would simply be making issues just to make issues. No headset is perfect, but the Crystal Super is as close as it can get for me now. Fantastic clarity and colors. Very good FOV. Good head tracking. I am waiting for some equipment for my F-16 "cockpit" these days, so until I get that in the mail, I am trying the the Super in other games (which is something I have not done before!). Now it is Skyrim VR with some graphic and user interface mods too. And it is fantastic! And coming from an OG Crystal I think it so nice to spend hours and hours in a game without worrying about the batteries.

This is the way.... Seriously. Also, I am not on the latest or second latest version Pimax Play, but rather on version 1.40.4. In this old version of Pimax Play one can not fine adjust Quad views settings - but - Quad views is not enabled in Pimax Play in the Tallmouse Youtube guide above anyway so it doesn't matter. So, no Quadviews box ticked in Pimax Play - but rather installing Mbucchias Quad Views has been a problem solver for me. For those who doesn't know - the video shows how to use this "external" (not Pimax Play version) of Quad Views from Mbucchia and then use the Quad Views companion app from Tallymouse to adjust and fine adjust the Quad views settings. I am probably not on the latest nvidia drivers either, I am using 576.88 - but I don't think that matters much really. But following the Youtube guide above here - what a difference! It seems there are a lot of steps to follow in the video, but it's pretty easy. I skipped the part that makes it possible to launch DCS from the Pimax Play menus - I just start the DCS launcher instead.

No, I have not tried a newer version. The reason is that the release after the one I got broke using Mbucchias external quadviews and Tallymouse Quadviews companion app. Fortuneatly I read about this before doing any update. Then after that they released a new version that fixed this issue, but I held back - letting others do the beta testing And then they released the newest Pimax Play version yesterday that seem to give people this swirls issue in the center of the display. So for me - if it is working - I wait... but.. the newest features with scaling and sharpening would be nice - for example in No Man's Sky VR which I plan to pick up again after not playing it for a long time. No Man's Sky doesn't support OpenXR even, and no dynamic foveated rendering either it seems.

@Calvin.Pimax I don't understand - why is this Pimax Play version still available and also the only version available on Pimax homepage? This Swirls issue seems like a big problem. I am still on version 1.40 for Pimax Play and still use Crystal Super firmware 1.07 because it seems like every new version causes an issue. Now, for DCS I am happy with this "old" combo - Pimax Play 1.40 and firmware 1.07 for Crystal Super because it I don't have tracking issues with my headset, the sound is OK/good, I don't use hand controllers, I don't use the Pimax Play Quadviews but rather mbucchias "external" Quad views - along with Tally Mouse Quadviews companion app so I get to fine adjust my quadviews settings anyway. And this gives me very good image quality and performance i DCS. DCS... Now, here's the thing - I would like to upgrade, the new upscale and sharpening tool in Pimax Play sounds nice for games that don't support Quadviews. But - I really don't want to take the chanche of breaking my DCS performance quality wise - and frames/sec wise.

I have some mura in my Super. But it is little. It is no problem. I have to look for it. So, I don’t think about it. My old Reverb G1 and my Sony PSVR2 has much more. Much more.

Have you tried disabling WiFi and Blue Tooth in the BIOS?

Ever tried this: To add DLSS MFD clarity in DCS World, create or edit the autoexec.cfg file in your Saved Games/Config/ folder and add the line HUD_MFD_after_DLSS = true to prevent MFDs from blurring with DLSS enabled. And also, are sure you are running the right dlss version with the right profile? (k)

That 5090 will do you good in lots of other use cases to. Hope you will be happy - but to make sure you will be happy in DCS with Crystal Super - follow the guide in this video from Tallymouse. Personally I have been into VR since 2017, but this video really helped me with the Super and DCS:

Moira has nothing to do with it. I experienced this with my OG Crystal too. No moria at all there, and very little on my Super

Yes

I don’t think that is correct. I also have read this that SSAO solves it. But it does not. If SSAO has anything to do with it, it must be in in combination with something else that we don’t know what is. Weather and lighting conditions impact how visible it is. But it is there, SSAO On or Off doesn’t matter. SSAO off doesn’t matter and I hope that Eagle Dynamics and Pimax don’t believe that is the solution. Because then we will be stuck with the problem.

Comparing the Quest 3 and the Crystal Super on a system with a 9800X3D and a RTX 5090 is … silly I think. I have a 9950X3D (which in games I understand is comparable to 9800X3D) and a RTX 5090 - and I have both the Quest 3 and Crystal Super. The difference in is huge. I understand that Pimax has a pretty low requirement for the Super on their website. Personally I think that is misleading. I personally wouldn’t run it on a system without a RTX 5090 and a good CPU. Maybe a 4090. I have a system with a 4090 too (see signature), but for me that is unsatisfying… You CAN run it on a lower end system, and obviously you do. But I think it is a waste of money because you are missing out on what the Crystal Super has to offer, why it even exists- and you might as well spend your money elsewhere. I understand your concern, because first - the Crystal Super is super expensive- and paying for a RTX 5090 is very very expensive too. Is it worth it? For me - yes. But I am an older dude, Flight sims has been my hobby since 1983, and the investment didn’t bother me as much. 15 years ago I could not have afforded it. Yes, you can super sample the Quest 3 more with a RTX 5090 than with your 3080. It will run a lot better of course than with your present graphics card. But still - physically the Crystal Super has 327% more pixels than the Quest 3 to show…. But with your 3080 you don’t get the experience that is intended with the Crystal Super. What should you do? Don’t know. It’s a lot of money. Maybe enjoy what you have, or try to get a “cheaper” second hand RTX 4090 and enjoy your Quest 3 even better. The Quest 3 gets quite an uplift going from a 3080 to a 4090. Especially since the rest of your system is good.

I don't have the Germany map. But I have the Afghanistan map. I fly mostly the F-16. I got the Apache too, but... never really tried it out My problem now is that my headset is at my cabin, far from where I live. I brought it there along with my PC to test and fly a little during our summer vacation. Norwegian summer = usually lots of rain and <profanity>ty weather. Then I went home here where we live, about two weeks ago, only for a weekend (that was the plan) before I was supposed to return to the cabin - but for several reasons I can not go back to our cabin yet... so. Here I am. Home. Where I have my F-16 "cockpit" and most of my flying gear. But no Crystal Super headset Hopefully I will get a chance to go pick it up later this week. I have read that the Germany map is more demanding, so perhaps stable over 72 fps over Berlin won't be possible. Don't know. The maps I have tested are Kola, Syria, Caucasus, Afghanistan. I have not installed latest DCS update. And I am on an earlier version of Pimax Play, and I don't have the latest Crystal Super firmware either. Since everything worked so well for me I was hesitant to do any Pimax upgrades... Now I have to wait anyway until I get my headset back here.
