zildac no I cant seem to break 90 but that's ok. What I was trying to do was have a 72Hz refresh rate and do more than 72 FPS. At this point it does not seem possible in VR. For example, my computer monitor has a 60Hz refresh rate, and sometimes I am doing 120+ FPS in certain games. Unlike 2D gaming, It seems that in VR FPS is strictly tied to refresh rate.

I have Vsync turned off on my Nvidia control pannel settings and in DCS. I set my VR headset to 120Hz Refresh Rate and I am getting 90 or so FPS. I set my refresh rate to 72Hz and my FPS maxes out at 72-73. With Vsync turned off shouldn't my FPS be in the 90s when my RR is at 72? I get there will be screen tearing, but Vsync seems to be on even though I have it turned off in every place I can think of.

@sleighzy That fixed it. I redownloaded it and repaired my installation, and It is now working with the new version of Pimax Play.

My PC crashed, and I had to redownload DCS and Pimax. I just installed the latest version of the Pimax Play SW to find out if the newest version of Pimax Play has XR and quad views (QV) built in. So now my problem is that DFR shows Off, and the quadviews companion does not appear to affect the visuals anymore. Eye tracking in DCS is working. According to Pimax support, the DFR is just a bug and will get fixed, and they did not mention any fix to the companion. Does anybody know where I can download the old pimax play sw. I can't seem to find it anywhere.

corehub Having the same issue. The Spear group takes out 3 of them then radio silence. I tried to draw the sams out with no luck. I am guessing this Campain is not supported any more.

Cool thanks, I flew this mission 3 times thinking I did something wrong. Glad it wasn't just me.

Hi, it didn't used to be this way, but my kneeboard is greyed out. I can open up the docs still, but my knee board does not show the last doc I was looking at anymore. For example, ILS, TACAN, Channel, etc of the super carrier. I used to be able to look down and see that on my leg now it is just grey. Any thoughts on how to fix that or its just this just the way it is now? Thanks

That did it. Thanks

HI, right when I start mission 3 I see the box telling me to push F10. I am guessing this is where I can start behind the tanker. The issue is I can't get the comms menu to come up so I can push F10 in the first 60 seconds of the game with the jet powered off. How do I skip the first half of the mission? I keep getting killed by the manpad and dont want to fly the first half for the 4th, 5th, and 6th time.

Just upgraded to 2.9. My system is 13700K, 4090, 6000hz DDR5 2Tb SSD, Pimax Crystal VR headset with the latest drivers. I was at 90FPS prior to the 2.9 upgrade in every map. Now I am bouncing all over the place from 60FPS to 90FPS and that's just the title screen let alone an actual game. I have had to reinstall QuadViews twice now to get eye tracking to work. It just stops working and I have to reinstall. I even set the settings to "LOW" and the FPS is just bouncing around and I am not even playing a game. I am just in the title screen. Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

mbucchia Ok so for the best visuals I need to set the render quality to max in pimax play then lower the peripheral resolution to 10% and then my Fov Res to 200% in quadview companion (Give or take depending on my PC and such). By keeping my render quality on low I am basically forcing QuadViews to start with low resolution rendering which is not preferred? Is that accurate?

mbucchia I was referencing the Render Quality in the Pimax Play SW under the Games settings. You have a choice of min, balanced, max. Do those even matter? It seems if I set it to minimum then crank up the foveated resolution in the companion app, it seems to get a better frame rate vrs keeping the render quality to balanced or maximum in the pimax play SW. Or does that even matter because Quad Views is readjusting all the resolutions? Thanks much

Thought I would post this in hopes it might help others. For the longest time I didn't think Eye tracking was working but I had it set up wrong. Originally, I had set my render resolution (RR) to balanced and then bumped it up to maximum from time to time. I had the Pimax XR and open XR downloaded and on the Pimax XR I turned on eye tracking and quad views. I had my DFR set to maximum. I never noticed a difference. One day I ran into a video where somebody downloaded Quad Views Companion. I installed that and still no difference. What I was missing was my RR. I turned my RR down to low in the Pimax tool. Then in Quad Views Companion I turned down my Peripheral Resolution to 10% and cranked my Foveate Resolution to 300% and holy crap I can see that eye tracking is totally working. Where I was looking was crystal clear and everything else didn't matter. You can play with the setting that work for you but PR @10% and FR @300% is working great for me (4090, 13700, DDR5 @6k Hrz) At a minimum it's a great way to show eye tracking is working even on balanced and maximum RR if you set the peripheral resolution to 1% you can see eye tracking is working. I don't suggest that unless you want to test eye tracking as its distracting to see that low of resolution in your peripheral vision but play with the settings and see if that does not help. It helps me get to 90FPS 90% of the time on high settings. YES I said it "High Settings"....... I only have shadows set to medium. It only drops to 75FPS in big cities in Siria. I am hoping the 72Hrz update for Pimax crystal will fix that. I am also a VRRock lenses user and eye tracking is working just fine for me.

I had a almost perfect pass with Grade _Ok_ : (2 Wire) I did it again then got Grade C : 3PTS TMRD 3PTS - Landed 3 points TMRD – Too much rate of descent I Saved both tracks and replayed them watching from the outside of the plane and they look identical except for the grade. My question is, is 3PTS mean my AOA is off? It seemed like I followed the guide line right down onto the deck with the E bracket right in the middle coming in perfectly straight. Also, not sure how I got TMRD (all be it I was a hair high) I seem to get this grade a lot and I cant figure out what they are calling 3PTS and TMRD and how to correct that. Thanks

Hi Guys what are you using for DCS setting on the Pimax Crystal? I find it only really is good if you can get that 90FPS but that means turning resolution way down to the point it doesnt look that great. I have a 4090, 13000K I7, 30Gig of 6000 DDR5. I have FFR set to balanced, OPen XR with NIS and 20% Sharpening, and RR 75% It seems the only way to make it smooth is to turn down the render settings to low in the Pimax tool then turn graphics to medium (ish) with a few tweaks here and there. IE preload radius ect. If I turn RR up to balanced, I am in the 80 FPS and looking at the ground, I start to see it get jittery and start to see some ghosting on the buildings. What is everybody else doing for DCS settings? There does not seem to be really good settings like the HP and Quest with ASW/MR. Smart Smoothing on the Crystal makes the jutters really bad but does get rid of the ghosting wich forces you to run the FPS at the same rate is the refresh rate and in DCS 90FPS with decent clarity is looking to be impossible. Are other crystal users seeing that or do I have something configured wrong? Keep in mind this is when flying over large cities doing A2G.

@Tholozor @L4key @Hulkbust44Thats it, I was designating a target. Thanks so much guys. I would have never thought that was the problem.

Hi, I am sure I am doing something wrong but when I am using RockEyes or CBU 99s in the F18, I select CCIP but it seems to be stuck on Auto. What am I doing wrong here? I tried to arm/disarm, change out of A2G but I cannot get the cluster bombs into CCIP.

Got ya, it was too late. I uninstalled then reinstalled a few times over and thank god I was not on a plan with a data cap . I did get it working. I had to rename the folder in saved games to .old then reinstall and it is now working again.

Just downloaded regular DCS and its working just fine. I just chcked and shut off all anti virus firewall etc then tried a relaunch and same thing. One thing to note is beta keeps trying to launch Steam and Oculus. The regular DCS does not do that.

Now I am worried. After a reinstall, I still am getting a black screen. I dont see how an update could be the problem at this point. But it was working just fine prior.

Tried repairing no luck. Reinstalling.

I just got a beta update today and now my DCS is no longer working. ST Just hangs on startup and MT is just a black screen. Anybody else running into this? One thing to note after the update it had me log in again for some reason and now nothing works.

@Fuggzy I dont think that would work because when you look forward all you see if the VR world. You would have to look way up to see the physical MFDs in VR. I think the physical MFDs are really designed with TrackIR and flatscreen flying in mind. I think what you are really looking to do is this F-16 simulator fighter jet cockpit - turnkey Viper (viperwing.com) after a few google searches can run upwards of 16k. This is truly MR where you can be in VR and Real world at the same time. I like to watch the Mixed Reality video from time to time and dream one day I could afford one of these

@FuggzyPass through in the quest pro is a bit better but still unusable for this game, or at all really. You can't use it for anything other than moving a few feet. When I said I could look down and see my body, you can actually see your body and your HOTAS but you have to take the time to line everything up with VR. When you move your eyes down you see your HOTAS then when you move them back up in VR you see your virtual HOTAS and they line up, so it feels like your hands are in the right spot. Obviously when looking forward you won't see anything but the VR HOTAS and HUD but peer down and you see your body. The bonus is you see VR in your peripheral vision when looking down and that really is pretty cool as Its a bit more immersive if you line everything up. In the quest 2 I struggled to hit the Dogfight mode button trying to find it in the small space between my nose and the vr headset. With the Pro that's not a problem. it's a big wide-open space (which is good). I move my eyes down find the button but still feel I am in the jet, then move my eyes up and I'm back in the game with my body and HOTAS in my peripheral vision. That is what blew me away. At least for me anyways. Again, its subjective. Eye tracking, as far as I know, does not work in DCS with the Quest Pro. I have never used TrackIR. I went all in on VR as I can't go back to flat screen gaming in DCS ever. I need to feel like I'm in the F16 40k feet in the air not sitting at a desk playing a videogame. I also don't play competitively so there is that as well. I know TrackIR shines in that arena. I can't help you with that comparison. The Pro is a visually better, yet flawed, Quest 2 as far as this game is concerned. It's not meant to be used for DCS and that shows by the price and feature set. The lenses and colors are nothing short of awesome. I will not buy a VR headset without pancake lenses going forward. It was hard to go back to the Q2 but at the end of the day I can buy a 4090 and get rid of my studders for a few hundred more and then wait for the Q3 to come out. All though you have a 4070ti so you should be good on the GPU side of the house. Me not so much. The 3080TI is ok but not the best for sure. Amazon has a 30-day return policy. I used it and got my money back. It takes a week or so, but I got it back. Give it a try and if you don't like it return it. If you like it then that is where the real problem is as now you are on the hook for the 1100 and there are still other headsets to be released this year where you might regret holding on to that. I was really on the fence one day I was keeping it and another I was returning it. I just couldn't get over the many compromises I had to make for the price of the headset, and I know other headsets are coming out. Set an alarm on your phone to return it after 3 weeks after you buy it and just give it a try. Best case you return it, worst case you spent a chunk of change that will piss your wife off but you can always fly away in DCS and leave it all behind

@Bazz_Mulder Yeah typically stuff like comfort does not bother me as I am sure you can buy something 3rd party but for the price of the headset it was a hard pill to swallow. I mean the Q2 isn't the most comfortable in the world and I am very used to that. I felt I was making too many compromises for the amount I paid. That was the true deal breaker. I get why it's so expensive. there is a lot of tech packed in there that I wasn't using as I didn't use it for work. I will say this if the get the eye tracking working in DCS with the Quest Pro and some 3rd party pads, I might have to revisit this. If you do end up getting it, I would love to hear your experience with it.
