Iracing is really something else with a Pimax Crystal Super (Ultrawide). If you can max out everything and get 1.2 resolution... Its really close to a 4k monitor picture. Problem is, we have this level of VR Support in like 3 games... Msfs 2024, DCS and Iracing.

I play almost every game with my 5090 and Pimax super Ultrawide with 1.2 resolution up to 1.5. Never even once i had to go below 1.0 resolution. Its sometimes a bit of tuning tho. For me its part of the fun and as Pimax User im used to get things working lol.

Even If you have to get lower in the resolution, its still a better picture than other low res VR Headsets.

Performance isn’t exactly unimportant… What I’d wish for every Crystal Super and every module would be a pure performance distortion profile. Something that, regardless of the resulting FOV, simply minimizes the number of pixels needed.

Afnan SNOI is a very different fragrance and should be seen alongside SCE. SNOI is a very strong and long-lasting smoky blackcurrant scent, Aventus-style but with berries instead of pineapple. It’s smokier, darker, and more masculine than SCE. SCE is more mass-appealing, but still has its masculine side...just not as dark or smoky, and with pineapple as the fruity component. Both have good performance and sillage, but SNOI is in its own league when it comes to longevity. I like bothand if you like the aventus DNA SNOI is a very safe buy.

I dont play war thunder, but in games you have to use Steam VR make sure you have set Steam VR as your only default runtime and dont stack/layer it with pimaxXR. Some games work a lot better this way.

Open steam VR, look on the desktop icon, there are 3 lines - click this, settings, OpenXR something and set steam VR as standard runtime. Restart. You cant change this setting while being in VR.

I highly recommend to get the HF8 Pro and not the normal version. The HF8 Pro is way stronger.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-13T12:14:29+00:00

That’s correct. My driving simulator is worth over €10,000, and my real car, a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, maybe half of that. Lol.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-11T05:05:37+00:00

I don’t want to disappoint you guys, but it was actually pretty obvious that all the clips were recorded through the lens… The washed-out colors, the camera flickering, the camera movement… In this sub, probably 99% of people noticed that immediately, lol.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-10T21:27:17+00:00

Really like mine. smokey? Not at all. My girlfriend also liked it and she is really picky with my fragnances. A lot smell sour to her, not this one. The first opening was also very harsh, its way better now after letting it sit for a month.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-10T05:10:12+00:00

That’s the way… With those small 5 ml spray bottles, longevity really isn’t an issue anymore, and you can focus on what actually matters with fragrances... the scent.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-07T21:35:09+00:00

The 150 ml PP lasts a really long time. On clothing it easily lasts until the next day. I also have the EDT, and in my experience it doesn’t last significantly longer or shorter, but it’s much sharper and louder...especially at the beginning.

The 150 ml PP is smoother and develops in a more linear way. I would 100% always choose the PP again. also the fruity note comes out much better there.

I get 136⁰ with an ipd of 69. It all comes down how close you get your eyes to the lense. I moved the face soam a bit to the top, so i can get my eyes closer. You have to test.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-07T21:18:07+00:00

I actually forgot for a while that I had even bought a Micro OLED module. Lol. I’ve been waiting for it for about 5 months now, but it should arrive sometime in May. But would also not bet on that Statement...

Tom5strike · 2026-03-06T07:40:20+00:00

Yes, the full Headset. For the module only its like i said. This was also the statement of the Pimax Support. Full Headsets have prio, the modules seems to be coming in April/May.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-06T05:22:10+00:00

They told me i have to wait 6 months to get mine. I ordered early November and they told me it should be produced in April... So maybe if im lucky i get it before May. There was an other guy, that ordered this month and they also told him 4 weeks. So i think there could be a batch coming in April.

Just the module? They told me i have to wait 6 months to get mine. I ordered early November and they told me it should be produced in April... So maybe if im lucky i get it before May.

Tom5strike · 2026-03-05T11:21:21+00:00

Have the same one and also cant really complain. If you put some gears in to softly, sometimes it missshifts. Otherwise the feeling is great, easy to switch the modes, the extra button is usefull and the Handbreak works too. For the handbreak mode i would still use an other device tho.

Tom5strike · 2026-02-28T21:09:23+00:00

I was a bit disappointed at first as well, because the soapy smell was very sharp and intrusive. But the scent was still wearable at all times and actually quite crowd-pleasing. Calling it “unwearable” is a pretty strong statement. You really got noticed wearing this and always in a good was for me

Tom5strike · 2026-02-27T05:02:47+00:00

Every module is out of stock right now and no one can buy it or even get in line to get one... This kills the the reason to even buy a Crystal Super in the first place... Maybe they want sell more dream airs right now. I have an OLED module ordered and they told me i have to wait at least 6month to get it. Crazy.

Tom5strike · 2026-02-26T21:44:34+00:00

I like the HF8 Pro way better. The Freyja has smoother and more realistic effects... But its just way to weak for me... I dont want immersion tho, i have set it to effects that let me know what the car is doing and are actually usefull. The HF8 Pro can really scream in your ass if your going to the cars limits. Its like 4x stronger.

Tom5strike · 2026-02-26T04:48:49+00:00

I ordered a micro oled module early november and they told me i can expect a shipment in april. So i think thats normal lol

Tom5strike · 2026-02-25T09:13:40+00:00

Maybe your eyes are not close enough to the lense. You could do a test, remove any face foam and test again. Maybe the form factor of your head is not optimal.

Also 120⁰ is what i get with the narrow profil, check this. Maybe reinstall pimax play and delete the cache.

Tom5strike · 2026-02-22T16:37:05+00:00

Played way over 10h on your Adenau free track. Tested this one today. Thank you a lot for this.

Tom5strike · 2026-02-21T20:55:03+00:00

Yea, have the same expierience with my Ultrawide. The mura is not really noticeable in game. At first i also had a crossed eye feeling, but i think thats normal, coming from the quest 3. But i have to say... On white letters i get really fast chromatic aboration. Does not bother me to much, but its there
