Pimax still does not have working zoom

[TCW_Brzi_Joe]

Hi guys, recently I found out that the majority of players do not know that Pimax still does not have working zoom in IL-2. That is of course same for other canted displays HMDs, like StarVR and XTAL.

It is now about 5 months, we were patiently waiting, but in the latest info from -DED-Rapidus, he said that for now there is no solution.

I do understand there are not so many VR players with canted displays, but this game already adopted it about 1.5-2 years ago; I invested a lot of money into my Pimax HMD and top pc capable of running it. I hope that counts also.

Now I can play IL-2 in 2 ways:

A) with performance, clarity, but without zoom, or with zooming with one eye. I was playing like that several weeks, and every day I had headaches. I just quit, as it was not tolerable any more.

B) I can use one hack from Pimax, for old games with poorly implemented vr; It is called "parallel projection = ON", or just pp=on. Somebody wrote on a forum (I can not find it now, unfortunately) "No problem, put pp on"?????
Well, yes problem. PP takes 30% more pixels, and then draws a picture in HMD, what it thinks is right. But it is wrong, and mostly pixelated and unclear. And it brings my 2080Ti on its knees ( 30-40 fps in HMD is like fist in eye).
Yesterday I killed my mate from close distance, thinking that his P40 was enemy 109... Sorry Hattrick. Such a mistake I didn't make for a long time. 

With pp=on this game is barely playable. 

pp on = forget spotting

Guys please make something with it. Ask for help outside of your firm if needed. I will volunteer to test it, no problem. But please do not make it in 2-3 years, nobody will left here then. I wanted to buy a Pimax 8KX. Several guys are already playing IL-2 with it. It is the most advanced consumer HMD currently. On paper, it is even better then unreleased HP Reverb G2. 
But why to buy it and then instead of enjoying IL-2, just to feel rejected and frustrated?

 

Please guys, think about us.

Wait for the news.

I own 8KX, yes! When PP is turned on, the performance and clarity are severely degraded. If it is because of adjustment difficulties, why not imitate the previous VRMOD to give players personalized adjustment settings?

Ooooh. Might be helpful for Valve Index owners too. The Index is also canted, but only 5 degrees or so -- SteamVR renders extra pixels to account for the canting, but most people don't notice because it's 'only' 5 degrees. SteamVR "100%" for the Index is ~2100 vertical pixels, despite the headset only having 1600 physical pixels. Turning off PP mode on the Index may give a performance boost.

This, please! Glad to hear it is being worked on, and look forward to recovering that performance.

Is there any VR zoom Key Command assigned?

If yes, where?

This is an old article, was indeed not support; but this has been revised to solve the problem
