Load screen flashes now gone for Pimax users

[blitze]

Hello Pimax users. Just a heads up that the latest PiTool 1.0.1.255 now seems to have solved the dreaded Epilepsy inducing load screen flicker.  It is a huge milestone for us Il2 flyers using Pimax VR headsets and it is now cured.

 

The gem can be found here

Enjoy.

 

Still no joy with FFR and Il2 but I think with new rendering that will be implemented this year sometime, Il2 will be FFR happy.  Works with DCS so I don'tr see why not when it is implemented here.

@blitze I tried it, there was no loading flickering indeed, but there is something else wrong with it. I feel with 255 version some positioning problem, positioning lag, stuttering. It is small change, but I feel it. In first 15min I get vr ill, and that didn´t happened to me for a long time.

If I go to full fast server (like Berloga), and have to turn my head a lot, and zoom a lot and often, then every time when I start move my head, or stop moving, there is small lag in positioning. Half second later my HMD will show all correct, but I feel that small start/stop stuttering always.

If I only could measure that somehow...

I tried it yesterday late, and I felt ill. This morning I tried it again, but it was same.

I revert back to PiToolSetup_1.0.1.249_R255, it is better with loading flickering, but vomiting proof version.

I think you are onto something here. Noticed juddering especially when looking at the landscape whilst flying.  Will revert back to 253 and compare.

Gone back and yes, although a PITA to revert, goto hunt Pimax and PiTool folders in Users/Apps/ and Program Data, it is definitely better with 253 than 255 when flying. Clarity at a given SteamVR setting and also smoothness. Better fps as well.
