Pimax Play 1.41.1 is out and brings GPU upscaling and adjustable QuadViews

Especially the adjustable QuadViews is great for DCS, also worth trying the GPU upscaling mode (and sharpening).

Thanks for this. 

How does the upscaling work with DCS? Is it even needed since we have DLSS? 

In regards to the Quadviews - I've been waiting for this for some time to be native to Pimax. Does this work with the Crystal Light as a Fixed region in the center? And if so - is there a way to adjust the view left/right/up/down? (Either by app, or editing a config fiel)?  At present from the video, it seems like you can only set % vertical and horizontal. For fixed users - it would be helpful if we could offset that as well - especially up/down.

Also not sure if this is beneficial for PCL; at the moment i just use the quality setting along with XRNeckSafer.

I think you're right. I found Quadviews Fixed Foveated Rendering quite helpful back when I was running the HP Reverb. However it gives a lot more control and adjustments than the new Pimax feature. 

For the PCL - we would need the ability to offset the horizontal and vertical area. (Moreso the vertical area) like the QFVR app. I do like that Pimax is moving forward in trying to incorporate more natively into their system, saving us having additional separate process inbetween DCS and the headset, but at the same time it needs to be of benefit. I'm guessing this is solely focused on improving the super.

I'm still on a version in the .20's (Can't remember exactly which). I've been waiting to upgrade for both features, and a stable version - but so far, reading in the following,  it seems people are still rolling back. I guess if there's no new features that are going to help, and mine is working as is - I won't risk breaking it.

I was contemplating taking the risk in trying to update if there was going to be any significant reward, but for now it sounds like there's no reward for the PCL.

No any DCS test here and opinion how it influences for the dot (air targets), ghosting, blurries ect. DLSS gives the FPS boost and it looks good on paper, but it has a lot of flaws that are unacceptable in VR for me.
