ICDP 3035 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hi all, I just flashed to the latest Pimax 8KX (not older 8K) firmware which enables a 60Hz option. https://community.openmr.ai/t/new-pitool-v1-0-1-268-and-new-firmware-v2-1-255-296/34512 A quick test shows it runs very well in Il-2 BoX series and reduces the HW requirements to push maximum refresh without resorting to reprojection/smootinh techniques. Worht downloading but please only flash the firmware at your own risk. Link to post Share on other sites
GunneryAce 3 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Is there a forum posting with the general Pimax VR settings we should use for IL-2 Sturmovik? I have a 3090/9900ks with the 8K X Link to post Share on other sites
slikslik 3 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 No way am I going to touch this firmware. I.ve had enough problems with it in past. My 8KX is working fine, so, "If it ain't broke", ..Know what I mean? Link to post Share on other sites
ICDP 3035 Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Go on take the risk Re-flashing can be done manually if it fails. Honestly I have an RTX 3080 and running at 60Hz instead of trying to reach 75 made a big difference. It is smoother and has reduced stutters because it maintains max FPS easier. Though I am blessed that I can handle lower FPS so 60Hz still looks smooth. Now before someone says once you try hi refresh you never go back, I have another PC with a 144Hz 1080p screen and I can see and feel the difference, it's just not a must have.

sunnyB 3 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I tried flashing from pitool twice it didn't apply successfuly, thankfully the HMD still functions. I'll wait for a new update and able bodied guinnuea pigs before I commit to flashing the firmware again. Curious to see if smart smoothing still has that wierd stutter effect for 60hz if not I can just crank everything to max and not care even when flying close to ground as my min frame rate is around 30fps.
