2.5.6 Pimax Night Ligthting issue, NVG FOV.

[Doggo]

Hello,

 

While VR performance has improved, night lighting issues seem to cause headache inducing problems.

 

There are two issues:

 

Issue number 1 -

See attached "night test.miz", in Persian Gulf (or any map) Lighting shimmer will render in one eye, but not the other. This seems to increase if bank angles are obtuse and not perpendicular to ground. Zoom in will resolve the issue.

The link above is a very good example of what this looks like.

 

Issue number 2 -

 

NVG overlay with wide FOV. Without 3DMigoto mode, the NVG overlay is >70 degrees outside of your FOV. 3Dmigoto is required to bring the NVG goggles back to viewable area.

 

With previous release, 3DMigoto and settings below would remove the "shimmer", then last 2.5.6 OB, while VR performance was hateful, at least night worked ok.

Attached is a Persian Gulf Mission: "night test"

 

Very re-producible with Pimax. Not certain about other headset manufacturers.

 

Myself and a couple of other Pimax users have tried every permutation of settings. Too much deviation causes issues with SuperCarrier, so I would prefer to keep the changes down to a minimum as this appears to be an engine rendering problem.

 

Please advise.
