fiddlinjim Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The latest Pimax Beta Update has some new features that I don't know what they are for or how to utilize them: Screen vertical offset adjustment function; RGB color adjustment function; Global Settings and Individual setting profile; If anyone can explain the function and and how best to use them it would be most appreciated.

Boris Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Post stolen from the Pimax forums: The screen vertical offset value moves the whole image up or down. You can move the left/right screen up/down separately. I found that putting both to -0.5 which moves the image up a bit seems to make my eyes feel better. EDIT not really sure though Most of the other settings are now in the Games tab which means you can configure them per game (which I haven’t tried yet) The RGB adjustment applies to the Contrast and Brightness settings. Where before when you adjust Contrast or Brightness it applied to all color channels, now you can select each color channel and set their Contrast and Brightness to different values. This is pretty great as it allows a lot of color adjustment which you can (supposedly) assign to each game. Can easily fix yellowish tone of 8K or bluish tone of 5K+. And yes, don’t forget to click Save after changes. I just tried making changes and hitting Save and restarting and everything kept their values correctly (I think). And as far as Global and individual settings are concerned - This means you can choose to apply all adjustments to all games, or have adjustments for specific games only.

Shrike_AU Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Per game settings only works for games that you can run from the pitool games tab. I cant get DCS to run properly from this tab as it fails the licence check of older modules (A10C, KA50 etc) Anyone have a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosebud47 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Executing DCS from Desktop instead of Pitool works fine, without the need to load SteamVR-GUI. F-14b Tomcat / AV-8B Harrier / F-16C Viper / KA-50 Black Shark / Mi-24 Hind / MiG-21bis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilBert VR Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I notice "The Resolution Setting" in Pitool always resets to 1 everytime you restart Pitool....slightly annoying No, it doesn't!!! Just use the "SAVE" option in Pitool... It'd be better to go through the new version closely before posting such confusing things! :huh: Cheers My System: Full Scale Huey SimPit -Pit Computer: i7-12700K | Gigabyte Z690 AORUS Pro | 64GB DDR5 RAM | Nvidia RTX3090FE | Kingston KC3000 NVme - All day use: i7-4790K | 32GB DDR4 RAM | ASRock Z97 Killer | GeForce RTX 2080 Ti AMP! | Oculus Rift | Pimax8KX | Sensoryx VRFree Gloves | X-TAL VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansangb Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Can you read the the text on the instruments in DCS with the pimax? Yes, you can. Keep in mind that this is one eye only.

Yes,I use a PD in DCS of 1.5 and a Resolution in Pitool of 1.75 this combo gives me great resolution and great performance. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
