I need a Mudspike golf shirt and a laminated Mudspike ID card to try to weasel some press hardware from them…LOL…
I duno, I still dont get these ’ through the lense ’ pics and vids… especialy this one where the guy is holding the HS and camera just with his hands 
They aren’t ideal, but the alternative is just subjective ‘trust me, it looks clearer’. I suppose one useful thing is that they can be compared to other bad through the lens videos. 
I guess it’s a matter of multiplying what you see here with a factor of wow that most of us VR users know is there. I’ve never taken a screen or through the lens shot that adequately translates how cool it is in reality. That lack of pixels in those Reverb shots are nice…

I have used my new toy sometime for dcs now.
I have pimax 5k+
And it really blows my odyssey (not plus) and my rift cv1 out.
RGB panels vs pentile, everything is sharp and easy to see. Sweepspot is way better than odyssey.
Black levels are ok, after bit tuning with contrast and brightness settings in new beta pitool.
Weird thing; DCS beta is super smooht even wiht 30fps, if my odyssey or rift get below 40 is much more worse.
What ever magic pimax latest beta drivers do , it works in dcs like dream.
I use normal FOV, its awesome to see sam launch etc in your side. Odyssey and rift feel like binoculars now 
And finally so easy to read gauges without zoom.
Happy PImax 5k+ user here in Finland.
Lastnight flyed 2hours , comfort is good as rift. And no eye problems , i have ipd 68.
This headset is finally spot on , large enouh fov , so no need to turn head so much, easy to check six. No bad god rays, way better optics than odyssey and rift.
My wife and my brother also agree, and its easy to swap headsets and see the diffrence.
Finally VR helmet that is good enough in resoluiton and fov that i dont even think that i miss some things in monitor.
My dreams are true. Was dreaming VR helmet for flighsim since VHX etc… back in early 90’s
My pimax is P2 series ,so no early units problems in this one. I got this about 4 weeks ago. order took about 7 days from paying to delivery. Fast.
I got vive lighthouse from local finnish shop. And second is coming from ebay. and now knuckles incoming so i can finally put my rift and odyssey to recycle bin

Happy for you!
I wish they were inside out tracking.
30FPS smooth, you say? That sounds incredible. What’s the refreshrate of the displays? Do they have some sort of ASW or similar?

Pimax ASW is smart smoothning. Same thing about.
90hz , and i can select 72z,
But i use 90hz now.
Its really weird that this pimax is so smooth and nice even 30fps.

No artifacts like squiggly gunsights and such, like you see in the Rift running at 45FPS ASW?
Nope.
Some ghosting in building edges when flying really fast and looking left or right etc like in oculus asw. But not bad. 90% time image is crisp and best thing is how super smooht all moves. I like , it was really WOW moment like back in years when i first tryed rift in dcs.

Very interesting!
Sounds like Pimax are onto something…
Yes, great device but still bit beta software. Gets better after patch or two i think.
I Recomend to wait and see.
Personally i just like tuning and adjusting things so im fine with pimax current state

To me, i’ve been waiting forever to see if Pimax can ever meet their initial promises for Brainwarp, IE, could they get something that worked as well as Oculus ASW. Could they have finally done it?
Well, Oculus ASW is no silver bullet. I prefer lower in game settings to keep FPS at 90, rather than suffer the artifacts of 45 FPS ASW.
Granted, I haven’t seen ASW2 in action.
Listening to SweViver and seeing the video it sure seems like Pimax delivers at least the same kind of performance, as Oculus.
But, SweViver is now on Pimax payroll, as he’s their new European representative. OTOH, he’s always been positive about Pimax and seems to be calling it as he sees it.

I have oculus and pimax (and i owned odyssey too about year)
My two cents:
it works about good as ASW now but its not real 90fps so its same problems like oculus ASW = Artiffacts will pop up here and there.
What maters is that when fps get below 45 its still smooth, even with 30fps. I find my rift asw get wonky in dcs if frames get too much below 45

Flyers -
I picked up a Pimax 5k+ over Christmas, and while I do think it’s a step above the Rift I had a year or two back, my initial impression is just not that grand.
I think I need some help with optimization, and I wonder if anyone else in here has a Pimax or similar setup that may be able to give me a hand.
I have two PC setups, one at my house (poor internet), and one at a house with stronger internet. I haven’t been able to try the Pimax at the house in town, but I have to wonder if the setups are similar.
Here’s the system:
-
AMD 2700X, GeForce 1080, 32g ddr4 ram, built as an ‘all-in-one’ where I later cracked the curved screen when moving, so I built it up as a box. It has 3 screens as well as the Pimax setup.
-
AMD 3900X, AMD 5700XT, 32g ddr4 ram, again with 3 screens.
(Please - no comments about the systems or their cost. I love simming, and I used to use the PC’s for heavy video rendering as well as my cycling coaching, and medical record reviews.)
Basically, I’m not able to see the dashboard as well as I’d like - it’s too granular. I can’t see radar very well at all, and I can’t see the MFD for the litening pod very well at all.
Dogfighting IS awesome. It’s a big step up from my TrackIR for sure.
But the other aircraft just aren’t all that crisp, and while I’m well above 45fps, I still have to rely on joystick and HOTAS intuition - I can’t really see HUD details or radar details at all in the F-15, 16, or 18.
May I buy an hour of Zoom Videochat over a weekend day to review my setup and possibly help optimize the Pimax?
Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.
