Hi community!
If you have asked yourself which pitool version you should use for DCS 2.5.5,
I may have a few answers for you.
I use Pimax Artisan HMD for myself.(FIRMWARE: V2.1.255.258 )
PC SPECS:
9900KS@5100MHZ/ASUS 2080TI-OC-11GB@2055MHZ/32GB DDR4-4000-GSkill/
SAMSUNG-970PRO.M2/AORUS Z390 MASTER/ WATERCOOLED /
I tested following versions with exact same settings.
Every time clean install(remove 6 folders, CC-Cleaner/restart,install pitool,restart)
PITOOL:
120HZ / NORMAL FOV / Render quality 1 /
/Smart smoothing OFF / FFR OFF / COMPATIBLE WITH PARALLEL PROJECTIONS OFF /
/COMPATIBLE WITH VIVE ONLY OFF / HIDDEN AREA MASKS OFF/
STEAMVR:
65% / MOTION SMOOTH OFF / CLASSIC MOTION SMOOTH OFF /
DCS 2.5.5:
PD: 1.2 / 2x MSAA / PRESET HIGH, MIRRORS ON / SHODDOWS FLAT / ALL EFFECTS OFF, ONLY RAINDROPS AND WHIRLWIND ON/
ALL TESTS WITH SU-25 -> MISSION: 4th from above(GUNS AND UNFEED ROCKETS)first 40 Seconds on airstrip straight looking forward.
RESULTS:
PITOOL: 1.01.249: 45-46 FPS
PITOOL: 1.01.253: 48-49 FPS -> FOR ME THE BEST PERFORMANCE SO FAR. SOMETIMES IT FLICKS
PITOOL: 1.01.254a: 50 -49 FPS ->BEST PERFORMANCE BUT VERY FLICKERING WHEN MOVING
PITOOL: 1.01.255: 40-41 FPS -> LITTLE TO NON FLICKERING
PITOOL: 1.01.258: 39-40 FPS - NO FLICKERING @ALL BUT LOWER FRAMERATES.
I think the picture is a little bit sharper and smoother but @ this point my eyes are bleeding and it could be a delusion :D
I hope you can do something with this information :)
