Convoy Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Ever since I updated my PCL firmware I've been chasing tracking issues. Today I solved them. What happens is the PCL doesn't have an on board chip, like the OG Crystal does, so whenever your CPU has to work too hard, it starts losing track. I have been talking to Pimax support for days, sending logs, videos of my environment, you name it. Today someone on Pimax Discord gave me something to try, AND IT WORKED!! Put your PCL on a USB controller by itself, in my case the ports on top of the PC case. Then set DCS to NOT use the first core of your CPU, Thread 0 and 1. I set Pimax Play to 90hz, turned off chaperone, dropped all the settings in DCS as low as they would go, and no more issues. Then I started turning options up until it became unstable again. Flew for hours, not a single stutter and my frametimes looked like a lake on a calm day, barely a ripple. 1
kgb035 Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Had tracking issues also, had seen this thread but wasn't sure what DCS not using first thread meant or how you did that. This evening found a thread in MSFS forum where a chap suggested the Crystal Light was the opposite of the G2 (which I had been using) in terms of ambient lighting. Thought I'd give the suggestion a go, switched off room lighting so that the only illumination in and around the PC/Controls was the screen. Tracking worked perfectly! I use XRNS and have it set to amplify head movement right and left. With room lights on any right/left turn of the head moved me out of cockpit, once room lights were off, it to worked much much better.
