I see you have not ticked "Pimax Central priority rendering" either.
I will try that also. Maybe that'll help.

Edit: Didn't help.

A while back, bloom effect caused this as well.  If you have bloom Effect checked in DCS under the VR page, try unchecking it to see if that helps.

Thank you all for what you've shared.

 

I manged to get a totally clean image at last.

SSAO got rid of the box shape shown in my initial post but instead I got the flickering veil. 

Turning of Quadviews companion eliminated the symptom completely...

 

The Problem is FPS without QVC has dropped from 90 down to 63 and stuttering is back bad out the sides of the cockpit. Man frustrating! I want the perf from QVC but cant get around the veil/box. What now, wait for fix?

FIXED

QVC companion on,  QVC foveate sharpness set to 0, PP sharpness set to 0.5 and DCS sharpening set to 0.5

An indicator for QV problems is the initial game boot up page with the blue sky and clouds.

If you have jagged lengths on the top and bottom... it clearly indicates the QV problem about to manifest in your flight.

Now on 1.14.2, with QVC and TM favourite settings.

• Performance on 1.14.2 is back up to solid 90fps and the sharpening in PP is really great (I cap it at 70 anyway and leave headset Hz at 90), still some stuttering when looking towards 3/9 o'clock near the ground where there's lots of objects
• but screenshots below i'm getting a very faint white box in the centre of the FOV 

After further flying the white boxes are not so much white, but more like brighter, very noticeable when looking at darker stuff like water or bottom of the cockpit. I've made some screenshots and edited them them to show an approximation of the effect, although they are more noticeable around the edges than in the centre in real. Something is telling me: its the more focused area being different to the peripheral. If I could just sort this id be square)

Pimax play sharpening at 0.6, Upscaling off, smart smoothing off, pp quadviews off.

 

thanks

You dont have Enable VR headset in your DCS VR settings??? Nor eye tracking nor Quadviews enabled due to the disabled VR heaset?

Is this correct??

Thanks for posting your settings. If this really solve the problem, then that's good. I have tried today to get rid of the veil/square - whatever we can call it - today. I noticed one thing, sharpening seemed to make it worse. So, I turned off sharpening in DCS settings, and that helped quite a bit. Now I almost have to look for it. I still have sharpening i Tallymouse quadview tool - without it the picture quality takes a hit. Not in the cockpit as much but outside when looking at the landscape. I see you also have Anisotrophic filtering at x4. I have at 16. Maybe that's makes a difference? Anyway, here are my settings that makes the problem less visible.

 

Also, certain lighting conditions makes the square more or less visible.

Do you have the fxo and metashaders2 folders in the game settings section under DCS?

Thanks, but
I don't know what you are talking about. What game settings?
-These are folders..

Morning all. Here in UK at least.
After watching this video earlier.. where hes flying DCS with NO QV whatsoever.. smoothly!!

I actually went back into DCS, disabling QV in Pimax Play (leaving the setings as was in DCS)
Launching through PP into DCS still using the settings I applied above and flew in very smooth 72FPS in several maps and aricraft.

Do we need QV??   try it.

72 Upscale mode? No thanks  For now it seems I have reduced/removed the issues I had with Quadviews, so I will use that. 72 Upscale mode might make better sense for people with 4090 or less powerful graphic cards. If you are happy with your settings then be happy, and thanks for sharing them. Others might find them useful
