A step in the right direction, but I have to say that tracking still needs improvement. I still get jittering in DCS. It's better now, but not great. And this is after following all tips and tweaks available (covering reflective surfaces, different lighting, reinstall Nvidia drivers, assigning dedicated cores for pi_server, etc...).

New in this version for me: lagging tracking from time to time which goes away if I restart Pimax Play.

Please improve tracking further. I actually believe the tracking just sucks out too much CPU resources. DCS also needs a lot, so that's a bad combination.

Roger that! We had a meeting this morning about the tracking algorithm and CPU utilization optimization. The team is working on both, and we’ll ensure there’s progress in every rollout patch.

An excerpt from my review thread on tracking:

Tracking:

This is where the Super struggles most. From the start, inside-out tracking was unstable for me: incorrect positioning, jittering in the cockpit, and especially deteriorating stability during long sessions.

In my case, the cockpit itself blocks 40–50% of the headset’s visible tracking area. Combined with the motion platform movement, the Super can only rely on the static room environment. My Reverb G2, by the way, never had issues with this.

What actually happened: As long as I was looking straight ahead, tracking was somewhat stable. But whenever I turned my head – left, right, or especially backwards – the headset lost orientation and tracking broke down completely. QR codes on the front walls helped a little, but once I looked away from them, chaos returned. After longer sessions, the problem got even worse.

The solution:

• I placed QR codes not only in front but also to the sides and behind me (my platform stands in a corner of the room). Suddenly, the headset tracked much better while turning around.

• I also suspended QR codes from the ceiling in front of the cockpit, so the headset can pick them up just 1 m away instead of several meters further out.

Another crucial step: Before flying, I always scan the entire room with the headset once. Only after that do I recenter VR or calibrate motion compensation. If the headset discovers new QR codes during flight (e.g., when turning around), it seems to re-calibrate mid-air, which in combination with motion compensation led to complete chaos.

Since following this procedure, my tracking has been solid and jitter-free.

Tracking summary:

1. Place as many QR codes as possible on walls (also sides and rear), and even hang some from the ceiling, close to the seat position.

2. Before each flight, scan the whole room (left/right, up/down).

3. Only then recenter VR and calibrate motion compensation if needed.

 

So for me, placing QR codes very close together across the entire field of view (including to the sides and behind me) solved the tracking issues, even though I’m on a moving platform!

Quad views customize, what is hidden behind all the fancy names?

How does which slider make differences in visuals and better fps/frame times? A single pictures can say more than 1000 words!

I always have to ask companies why they are unable to work with the most powerful human being interfaces, the eyes?

Make a picture of the expected visuals, name the zones with the names of the sliders and tell, what will happen, if you move the slider to the right or the left.

Only one single picture could catch thousands of questions.

What's the reason, companies still trying to compress all the necessary information into 2 text lines, and at the end no question mark of the customer is erased?

Click the Information point (I) and open a single picture with most if not all information. Thousands of questions less for the support, because now most people can !!see!! what each slider will do!

It could be so easy, so good for both sides, and perhaps the good idea behind all the work, would get the attention it deserves.

To let the customer fiddle it out by himself is the worst way to get acceptance of what you try to sell. 

At max 10 hours of work could bring you more customers and spare you thousands off dollars for the support.

Please, give us pictures!

And if PIMAX wants to act like a pro, make an animation pop up, if you change the sliders, and with each move of one of the sliders the customer can see what he is !!doing!, in real-time.

Too hard for Pimax? I don't think so.
