Settings for Pimax5k+ and 1080TI

Thanks. And apologies, didn’t mean to be super lazy my brain just completely forgot about the search function - had been manually trawling the thread trying to find it.

 

Haha your good.

Just tried my 5K+ last night and boy what a night vs day difference compared to my rift. The FOV on normal was huge and the clarity is so much better. SDE is still there but much less than a rift. I have some distortion on the sides but easy to ignore it. The terrain looks more detailed and I can now can see dirt and individual lawns next to building and houses and also notice things I have not seen before. DCS on medium setting run ok but ED def need to optimize their code to make it run better with the Pimax. I have a good system and it runs with marginal FPS. I can stay in the 35 FPS range at 72 Mhz with smoothing on in the F-18 and other planes but the F-14 I stay in the high 20s unless I reduce the DCS graphics setting significant. There is ghosting when banking the aircraft which is annoying. PP kills the FPS so I run with it off but zooming with it off makes you crossed eyed. So no more zooming since I rather have performance. Def got to fly with the mirrors and shadows off for increase FPS. Overall a fun experience way beyond the rift. CPU runs around 38% usage and my GPU is only running around 58% usage so got some investigating to do. Using FPSVR overlay to see specs while running DCS.

Hey everyone,

 

Earlier we mentioned that we have been working on DCS VR optimization. I have good news today! After much investigation and work, we traced the issue back to the terrain engine. We have since adjusted the terrain engine, and this has resulted in a 50% increase in VR performance! We will continue to test and optimize this further, but we hope to have this great improvement to you soon.

 

Thanks

 

SOON!!! :D So excited

Yeah its was funny, I made my post and then the next day saw Wags statement on the 50% increase. Can't wait for the update.

 

After I saw Wags youtube statement about them loosing contact with Pimax, I was the one who made the post on the Pimax forum asking them why they were ignoring ED and not responding to them anymore about getting a HMD. Then PimaxUSA responded right away asking for Wags info and within a week or so, Wags got his Pimax 5K+. Then we get the news about the terrain engine causing performance issues and now we are getting a update.

Communication between Pimax and ED is a good thing !

It is my birthday and a 5K+ is waiting for me at ta FedEx shop, what a gift! Going to be a fun weekend :).

Its kind of awkward but if you do want to occassionally zoom with PP turned off, try closing one eye while zooming....gets rid of the cross-eyed issue...
