I've given it a go in IL2. Apart from the auto IPD being a bit sketchy (I intend to set it manually next go, not sure how that's done yet though) it's quite impressive. Flawless performance at native res and 90fps (5090 and 9800X3D). The higher rez over the OG is noticeable and the colours are betterer. The sun though, jeezuz!

Great stuff!!!!
Just contacted Tracy the bot..."Expected to be shipped within 1-2 weeks"...........didnt say which year though

I'm happy for you, and also me since you've confirmed I'll eventually be happy with the results.  Enjoy the skies, brother!

This morning I got an email saying its now in done with production and into final inspection. 

The first email said they expected the HMD to be done with production that week which was the friday the 25th. So apparently it's made it through the assembly line and at least functions well enough to be sent off for final testing. This testing phase has no ETA but they threatened to send an email once completed where they will verify my shipping address.. I'm curious how long this will be.

Mine is packed and ready for shipment (from a local dealer/warehouse). Ordered sometime in April. So hopefully I will have mine before the weekend - as a best case scenario that is

Dear Valued Customer,

 

Hello!

Your ordered Crystal Super 50PPD has arrived in the destination country and is currently undergoing customs clearance. 

We will closely follow up during the process, and it is expected to complete clearance and be transferred to the local warehouse in 1-2 weeks.

We will track the shelving situation upon arrival at the local warehouse and synchronize further shipment progress to you at that time. 

Thank you for your cooperation and patience!

With the latest update about the Super 57PPD's unknown production date, I switched to the 50PPD Ultrawide Super.  We'll see if I retain my original position in the ordering process, if it's "first come, first served".  I'd hate to go to the back of the line...

I got a message today informing me that its ready to ship.

based on emails it took 3 days during the assembly period but 11 days to get through inspections. Not sure if it failed and they had to start all over or if inspections is a bottleneck.

 

Asked if I wanted to keep the 50ppd unit and if my address was the same.

It appears to be moving along...

So at  last the Super arrived beatifully boxed and packaged

Opened carefully examined everything and the DMAS speakers are missing.

Notified PIMAX and ---  After confirmation with the product line, we expect to reissue the DMAS headset to you at the beginning of October.

Hopefully my 2 week Pimax play wont contain any limit of two weeks, as contractually its not fullfilled.

Is this delay due to inadequate sound from DMAS?

DMAS, no loss, they're rather crap. I run my sound through desktop speakers but for when I was recording video I used wireless headphones. They fit very nicely under the OG and ditto with the Super (and perfectly comfortable too).

I was wondering if I can use my Bluetooth Bose earbuds for sound...just wondering if the mic will be ok with DCS-SRS/BMS-IVC; I'll have to test. 

I have an Arctis over-the-ear wireless set that works very well, but it has my TrackIR semi-permanently attached.  It won't work with a VR headset.

DMAS is "ok" I think. Better than the stock "speakers" at least. So I use them. I think the VR headset itself is heavy and warm enough, so I don't want to use another headset a top of the Super

The Super arrived today minus DMAS, they will arrive later. 
 

Ordered 12 Feb so one day short of 6 months to deliver. 
 

Early testing shows amazing clarity. I borrowed the DMAS from my original Crystal and that worked just fine. Still exploring software tweaks, but 90 hz produces best frame time over 72 hz.

Amazing clarity indeed!!... I have exactly the same spec as you PC and GPU wise I would be very intersted to know your final settings....Im still getting blur and stutters when looking left and right out of the cockpit... after two solid days trying to work it out.

Not using FPS limiter (meaning value above 120) in DCS helped looking left and right without stutters in my case

Yes Ive just found how to clear them!!! set up in Pimax play at 90hz  but launch striaght from DCS...

On my DCS settings... slid the FPS units down to 70fps...... everything on most maps no longer has stutters nor blurs 

Maps Like Germany, Marianas still have them as Im not sure they are optimised yet for VR...

Now I can fiinally say WOW

Funny - I have done the complete opposite. Setting 72fps in Pimax and above 120 in DCS to prevent stutters

 

I am on holiday now, but will try your settings when back at home.

 

Anyhow - stutters are defintely linked to the FPS slider in DCS.

Most settings are high/max but I did lower shadows to low and clouds to standard to help provide some headroom. 

90hz gives frame time of 11.11

but 72hz give 14 ish. Interestingly the Crystal OG at 120 hz Gave a Solid 8.33. No 120 hz option with the Super at this time unfortunately. 
 

if you don’t already do the following please try: 

Task Manager

Details tab

Right click on DCS (after log in) Select Priority and set to High, NOT Realtiime) 

Should help. But has to be done everytime you log in.
