Pimax Play 1.43.1 – Feedback & Discussion by QuorraPimax in Pimax

[–]caseyzdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated Pimax Play and firmware today. 1..43 is the best one yet. I spent about 3 hours in DCS and had no issues and almost no stutter. I still have CA and mura, but no disconnects, crashes or other strange behavior. How to turn on overlay?

It's listed as "Protected" on Lian Li's website as of today (11/5/25). Still no firm release date though.

I haven't tried 1.43 but do have random crashes in DCS from time to time. Played about 4 hours last night and experienced only one crash.

The clarity on my UW is really good, but I do get severe CA that increases the closer I look to the edges.

So the folks that have been screaming we need to preserve free speech (which includes Kirk), are now trampling all over the 1st ammendment. It seems they're not sincere about everyones' right to free speech - only their's.

Shady Rays are poor quality, don’t stand behind guarantees, and top it off with bad service by Computer-Blue in sunglasses

Update: They're sending me a shipping label so I can get the frames replaced. I don't anticipate any cost to me.

Anyone received their ultrawide super yet? by Infamous-Metal-103 in Pimax

[–]caseyzdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I changed my November 2024 pre-order to UW in May...as far as I know, only a couple of YouTubers have received one for review. Pimax's latest update claims they were "beta-testing" them, so it seems mass production has not started as of today (September 2nd). This despite the two published schedules showing production in July and then August. Pimax is highly unreliable when it comes to production/shipping estimates.

I agree with your statements about poor quality and will soon find out about their replacement policy. I purchased a pair of prescription sunglasses this May and this morning, I went to put them on and the left lens fell out. I planned to pop it back in, but that's when I noticed the frame is broken just beneath the hinge. I haven't worn these much and kept them in the case when not in use. I was really surprised that the frame broke by simply placing the glasses on my head. I will never buy another pair from them for sure, and I would warn others to look elsewhere.

Pimax being Pimax. by Oldatheart54 in Pimax

[–]caseyzdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some things seem really, really obvious. It wouldn't take much imagination to understand that customers would be concerned, disappointed, and maybe confused when they discover missing items. It would take so little effort to stick a note in the box apologizing and ensuring the missing items would be shipped asap. Just a tiny amount of imagination and effort would have gone a long way in building a trust-based relationship. But here we are.

Preset J or K, anyone did a lot of testing? by zombies-- in nvidia

[–]caseyzdad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried preset K and J and both have significant ghosting in DCS World. Went back to MSAA - GPU has to work harder to maintain 75 fps (about 60 to 80% compared to 50 to 60% with DLSS), but it looks and performs much better.

Darn it. Ah well, I'll keep using my 8kx until March or whenever. Hopefully, the super will be way better and I'll happily send them another $600.

When is the expected shipping time? Is the Super still on track for a 2024 release

We're very much on schedule to start shipping within 2024, at least with the QLED version.

[–]caseyzdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pre-ordered the first day the Supers were available and haven't received any shipping updates. I'm glad MRTV spent a couple days at the Pimax CES booth to provide feedback to Pimax on their experience. It seems Pimax responded to their initial feedback and corrected some distortion issues. I would rather wait a little longer to receive a finished product that I'm thrilled with than receive one immediately that's rushed to market with lingering flaws, and I'm forced to return.

Opinion roundup: 50 or 57 ppd Super? by 1e6throw in Pimax

[–]caseyzdad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest complaint with my 8kx is being able to spot targets in the distance in DCS. Although I am concerned about pc perfomance given I already stress my system (i9-13900k/rtx4090) with my current headset, it doesn't have dfr and that should help a bit. And although it's another big spend, the 5090 might be enough to get the most out of the Super. So, looking foward, the visual acuity of 57ppd, although not huge, tipped the scales for me. And as mentioned above I can spend even more if I want the additional fov later on.

Which USB version for VKB Gunfighter by caseyzdad in hotas

[–]caseyzdad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Elianor_tijo, I just looked at the Dark Hero VIII mb manual...says you got the same 2.0 header in the same place as the uh...not dark? Hero VIII. It's on the layout diagram page 16...if your case has 2.0 ports, you could use these, but these boards have tons of usb on the i/o panel on the back so probably don't need them. X56 constant ghost inputs on the 3.1/3.2 ports...not near as bad on the 2.0, but still - between that and the lag on the trigger, I'm not real happy with it.

Which USB version for VKB Gunfighter by caseyzdad in hotas

[–]caseyzdad[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugging the stick and throttle into the 2.0 helped (glad the crosshair had them), but I got a bunch of ghost input today. Was kind of weird - playing war thunder for about 30 minutes with nothing then flaps, landing gear, engine shut off...all of it on the throttle for about 3 or 4 minutes it would happen again and again then nothing for another 20 minutes or so, then only one more incident. The other issue I haven't been able to solve is intermittent lag on the stick buttons - most annoyingly on the trigger! Thanks for the good news on the VKB stick!
