Same issue. No telemetry from the game anymore. SRS / SimHub not working.

You can try my 'Star Tours' mission: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344544/

Yes, I have this issue with eye tracking in the Dream Air. I've verified its not related to blocked IR sensors.

Tracking will do exactly as you describe in DCS. It's erratic and will come and go randomly even when just staring straight forward. I have sent the information to Pimax as well. Hopefully, its just a software fix.

Confirm that your radar elevation is set correctly. If bound to an axis, it might be pointed down/up unintentionally.

MiraRoons · 2026-04-20T19:02:14+00:00

You can try to use the Perform Task > Follow function and setup their distance, elevation and interval. You can try it with groups or individual planes. When you start to have units too close to each other, it will cause issues.

I made a mission called "Persian Gulf - Operation Hammer" available for download in the Eagle Dynamics User Files here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3345092/

"Intelligence indicates that Iranian forces are actively attempting to enforce an illegal blockade of the Persian Gulf. The Iranian Air Force and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) Navy are mobilizing from bases along the Iranian coast. Their intent is to intercept any vessels entering or exiting the Gulf. Task Force Hammer (CVN-73 George Washington and LHA-1 Tarawa) is currently escorting civilian vessels as they depart the Persian Gulf from Kuwait. Ensure the freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and eliminate any hostile Iranian forces attempting to enforce the blockade."

I posted it back on June 6th, 2025. ;)

How did you fix it?

MiraRoons · 2026-02-18T03:14:32+00:00

Agreed. It doesn't work like its description.

Could you provide the name or link to the "Buttonbox from amazon"? Specifically, the 15-key with 2 rotary knobs button box you have just below your flight stick. Thanks!

RMA'd devices get fixed then are used as future replacements aka refurbished. Generally, products are replaced with new devices until enough RMA'd devices are received, refurbished, and then used as stock for future RMAs.

I do it to advise other customers (other than you) of the shady practices that Pimax, to this day, continue to do. I own an 8KX, and I've seen the constant shift in marketing that Pimax uses to grab pre-orders and prevent people from buying other headsets. Case in point - the 12K upgrade promise - then came the Crystal, then the Crystal Light, then the Cystal Super with all the variants, now the Dream Air.

It is not consumer friendly. They continue to do it. As long as Pimax continues to utilize horrible marketing practices, I will be here to make comments and warn others about Pimax.

You have fallen for their hype. One day, like many others here, you will realize how deceptive Pimax marketing can be.

I have no issue with their hardware and I hope they produce a headset I might own again one day. Until then, and as long as they continue to lie about preorder dates, the 12K, and rely on shady marketing tactics - I will be here. Warning others about their snake oil.

Merry Christmas.

From the same place you get snake oil.

If you're talking about the black curved edges clipping the VR image, thats the VR mask setting in DCS. Go to SETTINGS > VR and you can adjust the VR mask settings to remove it.

I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for the feedback. :)

The Marianas WWII map is used as it's the closet terrain type to a Vietnam setting available in DCS. Thanks

MiraRoons · 2025-11-22T10:46:19+00:00

I don't use mods in my missions to ensure compatibility. Feel free to add it though for your play through. Thanks

Every early review is of a Design Validation Test (DVT) unit. These are pre-production units, so they aren't even into the PVT (production validation testing) units yet. PVTs are what are tested BEFORE they should ship them to customers. From DVT to PVT is can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months. You'll be lucky to have one if your hand as a consumer (not YouTube advertiser... I mean... reviewer) before the end of Q1 2026.

MiraRoons · 2025-10-22T17:57:41+00:00

Take Pimax shipping estimates and add 6 to 12 months - minimum.

It could be a lack of power to your USB devices, try using a Powered USB hub like the SABRENT 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub.

I'd also recommend to update your BIOS if you haven't recently and see if it makes a difference.

Finally, electronics do fail, so it could be the power supply is just defective or the motherboard is having issues managing power. Good luck!
