What were your resolution settings in PimaxPlay, OpenXR Toolkit and DCS? And what settings in QuadView? Since Almalence talks about 4312x5100 or as close as possible I wonder what CPU/GPU combination will deliver this combined with hihh DCS settings. I'll try this software in the weekend and see what comes out. I'm on a i9 12900k and RXT3090.

Maybe try Mastiff's settings?

Attached is the document I'v used since the first VKB stick. Plus a printscreen with settings and small vid that shows it working in VKB software. Switch movement.mp4 Gunfighter-MCG-Flash-Reset-Calibration-Guide.pdf

Hi, On my stick it works as intended. In the Windows USB game controller the switch flips from 24 (up = safe) to 28 (down = armed). What is important that you follow the correct calibration procedure in the VKB software as the position of the switch is important when you start the calibration. You can find the latest video on how to do it on the VKB youtube channel. Then check in the Windows USB game controller (do not click the calibrate, only the test!). Also, when I start DCS I always make sure the switch is in the down position. In the L-39 it will work the wrong way around if you don't.

'Calibrated' you mean both room setup and eye-calibration? Are all the Pimax (sub)screens correct? Did you also check in another sim?

We've been asking for this since the LockOn introduction. Unfortunitly, ED has been developing the takeoff/landing capabalities based on western planes like the A-10.

Forgot to add: Pimax - YouTube with a lot of information to look at wile you are waiting for the shipment...

Congratulations on your buy. There are various websites with instructions how to set up the Crystal in general and specific for DCS. General: Solutions : Pimax Support DCS: The Ultimate Crystal Guide On Setting Everything Up For Flight | Pimax From my own experience I would not bother for the lighthouse if you use the Crystal only seated for flightsims. The inside-out tracking is really good. And yes, as a general rule it is always wise the fully uninstall previous VR specific software. This does not include Steam as the Crystal can also work with Crystal. But if you follow the instructions on the link above you won't need to use Steam for the Crystal. Saves again on CPU load..

@The_Nephilim the Crystal has a battery on the back of the headset. And it is required to keep it in, whether you use the headset standalone or plugged in. It has a button to switch PC/AIO mode. You'll find more information here Pimax Crystal Setup.pptx - Google Slides.

@Sabre Please check your ..\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\View\SnapViews.lua file before and after you did step 3 (RAlt+Num0) because that is were the adjustment will be saved. You can search the file for the speciifc aircraft where it says "--default view - VR".

+1 (can't put enough of these to emphasize importance)

@slughead Thanks. I'm hoping Pimax reacts on this because they themselves recommend his software to be used with the Crystal.

Is there a post where Matt has announced to stop his developemnts for the sim community? He has done already so much, it would be a shame to lose his support when future Windows and/or DCS developements would require his software to be updated.

Have you tried the eye tracking calibration? With the QuadViews Companion app you can then define the size of the 'window' where the high clear picture is projected that follows your eye movement. Sometimes, under certain conditions, you might see that outside the window the picture is more blurred.

This an 'old' how-to: Customisation Procedure The keystroke RAlt+Num0 (default binding) will save the current view position against the last-selected Snap View, or against the "default" view if that was the last selected. The simplest procedure for customising a Snap View is as follows: Center Camera View RShift+Num5 Camera Move Back RCtrl+RShift+Num/ Camera Move Center RCtrl+RShift+Num5 Camera Move Down RCtrl+RShift+Num2 Camera Move Forward RCtrl+RShift+Num* Camera Move Left RCtrl+RShift+Num4 Camera Move Right RCtrl+RShift+Num6 Camera Move Up RCtrl+RShift+Num8 Customising a Snap View - Set your current view up as you want it saved. Use RCtrl+RShift+NumX to move the view. - Press LWin+NumN - NumN being whichever numeric keypad key you intend customising. Your view will briefly snap to whatever the current snap view setting is for that key, then return to your previous view. - Press RAlt+Num0 - The snap view should now be saved. - Test it by changing your view, then holding down LWin+NumX - you should see your customised snap view! Customising the Default View - Press Num5 to reset your view to the current default. - Adjust your view (RCtrl+RShift+NumX) to what you want as the new default but do not use any snap view keys in the process! - Press RALT+Num0 - your new default view should now be saved. - Test it by changing your view, then pressing Num5 - your view should return to your customised default!

I've had problems receiving beacons on variouys airfields in the Caucasus. It was really anoying when you're doing a flight and can't select a beacon on the airfield you're going to. Attached are my findings by placing a MiG-15 on the runway and test the reception. Mind you, it even depends on the wind direction & strength were you can place a plane on the runway. new 1.txt

Temp solution, at least it worked for me: copy ..\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Cockpit to ..\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Cockpit I did not bother finding out what specific file(s) cause this problem. Just copied the directory.

Confirm, stable version still works fine.

Hello, The Crystal is not a Mixed Reality headset. I would advice to follow the instructions on https://pimax.com/how-to-run-openxr-on-the-pimax-crystal/. And search for Crystal and DCS because you'll find lots of information on Pimax.com on how to setup the headset like DCS Best VR Settings & Optimization | Pimax. Also, start DCS from your default icon, not from the gaming section in Pimax Play. The settings in there work only for games started with SteamVR. Use the common settings instead.

With the Pimax Crystal there is no power management control for the lighthouses. At least none in Pimax Play and also not with SteamVR. That is because the Crystal does not have a Bluetooth module build-in like the Valve Index. After a solution offered on reddit I managed to solve it on my system. This is how it worked for me. 1. Bought a BT dongle on Amazon Bluetooth adapter Pc, USB Bluetooth 5.3 Bluetooth dongle adapter voor pc, lange afstanden 328FT / 100M Bluetooth Stick driver compatibel met computer Windows 11/10/8.1 : Amazon.nl: Elektronica 2. Installed Python from the Windows Store Python 3.11 - Microsoft Apps 3. Let Windows add the path to your environment path. 4. Download LH Manager from GitHub GitHub - nouser2013/lighthouse-v2-manager: This python script helps you switch your Steam HMD lighthouses V2 on and into stand-by. 5. I downloaded the lhv2_off.ico, lhv2_on.ico and the lighthouse-v2-manager.py. 6. Then go to command prompt and install the BLE module that is required for Bluetooth and run these commands: - pip3 install bleak - pip3 install winshell - pip3 install pywin32 7. Make sure that the command prompt is in the directory where you downloaded the LH manager items and run the command: - python lighthouse-v2-manager.py discover -cs. The command should finish with these lines: Trying to create Desktop Shortcuts... * OK: LHv2-ON.lnk was created successfully. * OK: LHv2-OFF.lnk was created successfully. I ended with two icons on my desktop, one to switch the lighthouse ON, the other to switch it OFF. No more whining coils… Of course, as this solution has nothing to do with a specific headset it should work for other headsets as long as they use the V2 lighthouses. I asked already at Pimax to include something like this in future developments of Pimax Play. Fingers crossed.

@Leafcutter1008, no problem. Attached the file with the line in. Deleted all previous default lines. If you wonder, I got the same safety warning because I downloaded the same file I uploaded before. Windows Security is really tight... I use this file also myself because without it I get a stutter festival, ED is certainly not finished on this topic. Tried it myself in the L-39C Instant Action - Free Flight because that gives another plane right in front of you. autoexec.cfg

Here you have a default one. Advice: use notepad++ to update files. If you want me to add the dotrender line, let me know. autoexec.cfg

Tally Mouse is happy https://youtu.be/xhtxSrYhMKM Also nice view of DFR "in action".

I'm running the Crystal on a 3090 with no problems. As far as I know Pimax has mentioned the 3090Ti before as problematic but if that is still true today I don't know. Better ask customer service. Don't expect same day answer but certainly within two days. On the Pimax website you'll find a complete setup page for the Crystal: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1oqa1Wum-TQemxNFSq9ToCIjBM6z5V9rB/edit?_ga=2.260341451.771168226.1694525561-1286048487.1694525561#slide=id.p1 .

$bomber, instead of A or B (keys on controller) you can use Enter from keyboard for A and Esc from keyboard for B. The program gives clear instructions for the procedure but fails to explain this properly. No controllers needed.
