Lensman Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Their videos are finally getting better. First video without camera shacking or flickering. Quality of texts seems great in the Pimax. Let`s hope it`s not a monitor screen they have filmed this time.:D;) Well, yes, but the text they show is always zoomed in. It would be great to see a DCS cockpit at normal viewing distance with a steady camera. Hopefully one of the Beta testers will enlighten us shortly. Intel Core i7 6700K @ 4.5GHz.

frogger Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 ive got to say the difference in clarity with my pimax 4k in 2.5 compaired to 1.5 is very noticeable. im not sure if its the lighting or textures handled differently but its like i have been flying with dirty lenses in 1.5 and then 2.5 is clean lenses. i think because i can turn the settings down more in 2.5 it gives abit smoother preformance but the load times for me are a killer as i have old hdds and a low end pc.
dogbite Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Well, yes, but the text they show is always zoomed in. It would be great to see a DCS cockpit at normal viewing distance with a steady camera. Hopefully one of the Beta testers will enlighten us shortly. Text has already been remarked on in the prototype demos. It will be a little cleaner but I suspect the really small font stuff to still be difficult. Don't expect to read some of the really fine labels in say the Huey and SA342, and such. Zoom will still be a wanted tool. Remember these cockpits weren't designed for VR. Where the Pimax will likely shine is SITAW and possibly a little better target identifying at greater distance. I wouldn't expect miracles unless an effort is made to revamp some of the cockpits for VR. The SITAW should be crazy good though.

wormeaten Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 One thing is for sure. The picture is sharper and clearer. So it is expected to be better any way. We have to adapt to the limitations and maybe think about to use some alternatives. For example, for tracking we should use Opentrack true SteamVR controls for tracking. In Opentrack we will be able to set zoom axes not only 1:1 so could be 1:2 or 1:3 so we will be able to zoom in anything as we need for clear vision. I know someone will tell it is not realistic, yes but it is not real vision quality as well so this will compensate that way.
frogger Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 i wonder if open track will work with the 4k along side trackir ?. i know the piplay software doesnt work with it.

freehand Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Text has already been remarked on in the prototype demos. I want to see as much as possible on how clear the text is ,not interested if it has been remarked on before that's one of the selling points so the more feed back there is the better.

Some of the 7000 backers will surely offer up enough anecdotal feedback. There will be plenty written on this and plenty of comparisons long before it becomes a retail product.

There is not 7000 backers playing DCS so no not enough feedback, like Lensman said waiting for a backer using in DCS.
Jabbers_ Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Looks like i was not 1/11 people chosen for testing, lol, 11 people, seems like such a fail (no im not bitter). I wrote to Pimax and they said they were done with the selection process. So unfortunately, I also need to wait and hope that its good. Twitch2DCS - Bring twitch chat into DCS.

dogbite Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 There is not 7000 backers playing DCS so no not enough feedback, like Lensman said waiting for a backer using in DCS. So you're "waiting for "(a) backer using in DCS" and complaining all 7000 aren't playing DCS so it it's not "enough"? I can assure you at least one of those backers will post here what we have found when our hmds are delivered. Indeed there are many on the Pimax 8K threads who play DCS. Not all 7000 but since you said "a", I think we got you covered. If by the time you can actually buy one, you don't have all the information you need, I would be quite surprised.

Yeah 11 people for testing is an incredibly small representation.

dogbite Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Yeah 11 people for testing is an incredibly small representation. The tester group is being assembled by Pimax to update the backers. Most of us, individually, given a few days with it, could answer the questions backers need before the shipping survey. So we don't need a lot of testers. Just ones with VR experience. The criteria for tester candidates is sufficient to that task. There will be a Q/A session with testers in the forum that will fill in the gaps. We have a timeline saying shipping in Q2-within 12 weeks. We don't need to bog down in testers, unless the process proves inadequate to the task. We will know soon enough. I suspect the tester list will be posted this week.

I am only interested in DCS simple, this is the DCS forum is it not.
