ED Team Wags Posted October 25, 2017 ED Team Posted October 25, 2017 Dear all, While it's too early to know exactly what will come from it, we are in touch with Pimax regarding their 8K system and how we can best cooperate for an amazing DCS VR experience. Thanks, Matt 3 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/wagmatt Twitch: wagmatt System: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3729544#post3729544
joey45 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Thank you. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Greekbull Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 This is great news!!! Might be a game changer for me.

SkateZilla Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) only 8 days left in their kickstarter.... not wanting to pledge $500 to get a 8K horizontal Unit if nothing comes from it. And there's little to no specs about the 5K Edited October 25, 2017 by SkateZilla Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2), ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate, XFX RX6800XT Merc 310 (RX-68XTALFD9) 3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs
SkateZilla Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Love it, but with what hardware?! Lol At $500 I doubt they licensed Dual HDMI MiPI boards for rendering a 7680x2160 image, It'll likely be half that, and simply upscaled. The Issue w/ Current VR Headsets isnt the Game's Input Resolution, but the resolution / PPI of the Screens themselves.

33-DFTC Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 The fact that Eagle Dynamics is reaching out Pimax is an excellent news. There is no better way to improve VR experience than these two companies working together to optimize both products. I'll wait and see for the release of the Pimax and the firts reviews by Matt)) 1 There are only two types of aircraft, fighters and targets. - Major Doyle "Wahoo" Nicholson, USMC
upupandaway Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 At $500 I doubt they licensed Dual HMDI MiPI boards for rendering a 7680x2160 image, It'll likely be half that, and simply upscaled. The Issue w/ Current VR Headsets isnt the Game's Input Resolution, but the resolution / PPI of the Screens themselves. Hm, ok. Still very impressive. Maybe a little OT, but - in principle the delivered input for that device might be roughly the same as when you crank up resolution (scaling) for DCS, with the difference being that currently the image is downscaled on the headset´s displays? I´m all pro VR headsets with better resolution. OCR is great, but a lot of the beautiful detail gets lost in there. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Deedle, deedle!
SkateZilla Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 The Difference is the Aspect Ratio, it will be a significantly wider FoV and Rendered Image.

The Black Swan Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Any plans for collaboration for a 2K or 4K?

Thick8 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 What about working with the Windows VR partners? They are better established and have more mature, better backed products. My experience with the Pimax was poor at best. The screens are up scaled from a lower resolution, the lenses and LCDs are of poor quality, the software is amateurish and quite buggy. I don’t understand your decision to pick them as a partner.

Buckeye Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 I don't know how much faith I put in the Pimax product line, but I hope that the meeting will lead to broad improvements/efficiency gains for all VR HMD's used in DCS.

wormeaten Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Great news and that remind me in time when ED implement freetrack protocol for headmovemant. Major benefit will get VR pilots. No much difference than CV1 in resources because pimax higher pixel density will be less need for super sampling so this difference will used directly in resolution. Today is represent latest Version 3 prototype, major news now is Display port and manual IPD adjustment what showing progress going good. Edited October 25, 2017 by wormeaten
