weary to ask, is Pimax still not supported? 

Pimax is supported in the VR Beta to the degree that Pimax's own software allows... which is not particular well implemented.

 

We have approached Pimax about working with us to resolve issues, but have not had any response other than to acknowledge there are issues.

 

This is the opposite of other headset manufacturers, who actively worked with us to improve how their software works in our game... in several cases the improvements we suggested they make to their software were incorporated into software releases, and actually improved the performance of their headsets not only in CLIFFS, but also in DCS and GREAT BATTLES.

 

TF has a policy of engaging with manufacturers and software sellers to improve the interaction of their products with CLIFFS.  We have done that with trueSKY, Speedtree, FMOD, etc.  And all of those mentioned have been very cooperative and we have seen good results.  (some ongoing)

 

To this point unfortunately cannot say the same of Pimax.

 

And to repeat:  We will not hold up the release of the Visual Update if we are unable to improve Pimax headset performance because Pimax does not work with us.

 

The reason we are not releasing the Visual Update is because:

 

-  We do not yet have Speedtree 8.42 implemented  (underway with good progress... new objects placement working correctly, new object types replacement of old objects working correctly... shader adjustment to mesh new objects with trueSKY, etc. not complete)

 

-  We have not finalized the VR implementation  (at this point 85%) (Pimax excluded)

 

-  We have not finalized the trueSKY implementation  (85%)

 

-  There are still AI aircraft from BLITZ whose 4K external model textures have not yet been completed

 

-  Continuing to optimize building models, etc. for optimum framerate

@Buzzsaw

You can try again on OpenMR forum (pimax forum), and send direct message to PimaxQuorra - he is Pimax admin, and he very often speeds up resolving issues. You may even ask for 1 pimax unit for testing, many developers/modders got it.

while waiting for the next VR Beta test version I tried out my old VorpX / Opentrack settings for Rift-S from 2020/21 and recorded a small video.

A small workaround. The missing stereoscopic view is a real disadvantage in respect of the Cockpit elements, but during aircombat / dogfights the other planes look okay for my point of view.

The Head Shake effect is extreme, and it is hard to orient with the current tracking settings during take off / landing. During the flight this is not a problem. And the mouse pointer has to be always active, otherwise problems with tracking.

But today it worked well:

These 2 issues are now solved with my newest settings.

VR improvement is addressed recently with a new Test Beta over on ATAG...
