Night Flying in the Pimax Crystal Super

I think there's an issue with DCS and Quadviews. The change in light/brightness and contrast can be seen also in day time with quad views and the big square outline in the foveated area - which is discussed elsewhere. Not so obvious, but it is there.

Overall, in DCS, with or without Quadviews, I have to lower DCS gamma setting to 1.9 or else things look too blown out during daytime. I have not played much night time yet with my Super.   

I have been playing other games, like Le Man's Ultimate racing, and it looks good when driving at night. Also Skyrim VR with a Light mod that makes the nights and caves truly dark unless there are light sources nearby, also look good. They don't use Quad views. So I don't think it is hardware related. I will check out iRacing, which use Quadviews, and see what happens there during night driving-

I was using quadviews with DCS, but it worsened my VR experience; now I don't use it/them.

I have my gamma tweaked downward, as you do. 

I've not tried any night flying...just received my super 50PPD u/w two days ago; that said, I think I have the basic setup complete.

I have incredible performance and visual quality with Quadviews. And I see you have the same CPU and GPU as me, and even more system RAM. I wonder how our experiences with Quad views are so different? I can not live without it   It might cause issues at night time, but I have yet to do any real testing with that. Hope you enjoy your Super. Try other things than just DCS too, it's an amazing headset

Yes...the Super is a great headset, so far.  TBH, I fly Falcon BMS, due to the dynamic campaign and new terrain, as my main combat sim.  So, I'll continue to tweak DCS as I have time...priorities!  I've also had some good luck with MSFS2020 so far.  The Super's immersion, given the FOV, is wonderful.  I am using NeckSafer, too.  Slowly getting all of it tweaked.
