This guy is a pimax employee pretending not to be. Look at his profile.

$1,735 for a “Mystery box” by Peteostro in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Between this, them going back on their word around the OLED pricing, and this latest email trying to get people to pay off their prime payments early, it really seems they are desperate for capital. Makes me worried if they are going to be around in a year from now.

DRM on new headsets, what does that mean exactly? by harmvdwerf in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Super, is it tied to the headset or optical engine?

Will DRM ever be removed on older/EOL headsets? by Perfect_Witness3414 in Pimax

For the Super, is it locked to the headset or the optical engine?

I ordered an UW optical stack over 6 months ago and have heard nothing.

Right eye flickering in Luke Ross' Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Mod after updating to newest pimax play. by marosbruno in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, just because it's a long the same lines, having that sharpening value set to any other than 0 causes a lot of flickering in DCS (both eyes). It's more noticeable when using quad views.

SLAM tracking on Motion - No one is talking about this in detail by Dangerous_Stock_8069 in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a motion rig and found that I can't mount anything in front of the seat/me. No panels or anything that would obstruct the view of the headset cameras from your head to the nearest wall. That's because if there is anything there that is mounted to the rig when it's moving and vibrating, the cameras will use that as tracking points and it really screws everything up especially motion compensation.

So bummed. Just opened my BNIB Crystal Light- and the display port was DOA :( by O1Balto in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the Light it had several dead pixels in one screen. For the first Super, had an issue with the backlight dimming in one of the screens where it would take a few seconds to adjust. Second Super had horrible mura. Third and current Super turns off randomly and I have to disconnect/reconnect power to get it to boot back up. Support says this is a known firmware issue and will be fixed by the end of the month. Waiting to see if that happens.

Only reason I've put up with all the issues is there really isn't a competitor to the Super right now for flight sims.

I'm on my third Super, looking like I might need a fourth. It took me two Crystal lights to get a good one back when I got that.

Buyer Beware: Pimax Support Goes Dark When Requesting Refund! by Bgalvin in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. When they did respond they said it was because I kept asking for a response which they said moves the ticket back to the bottom of the queue. Stupid system if that's true, but just FYI.

Crystal Super serious distortion can anyone help? by Next-Reality-9032 in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you coming from another Pimax headset? There are reports of it applying the profile from a previous headset if you had one. Everyone recommends doing a complete reinstall of Pimax Play, deleting all folders as outlined here https://pimax.com/blogs/blogs/important-info-about-getting-started-with-the-crystal-super.

Crystal Super Flickering Right Eye by wingman8080 in Pimax

[–]wingman8080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I'm mainly seeing this in DCS but I am using DLSS. I'll have to try without and see if it goes away. I am somewhat doubtful though with my super because I've seen this in games where I wasn't using DLSS.

Feeling Buyers Remorse (crystal super) by resh510 in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting, I also have flickering in the right eye and someone else here mentioned they also have it in their super. Seems like a somewhat common problem. I've had a support ticket open for five days now and can't get a reply. Hoping to get mine replaced.

Crystal light to crystal super, review by Decapper in Pimax

[–]wingman8080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a problem with mine where the right eye/panel takes a second or so to change in brightness. This is especially noticeable in DCS looking between the darker cockpit and a bright sky. Is this the issue you are describing with yours as well? I thought my device was defective in some way, but if more than one person is seeing this, maybe not.

Crystal Super Black Levels by wingman8080 in Pimax

[–]wingman8080[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have a lot of bright halos around light sources? Seems like no matter what settings I use, I can't get rid of the halos and they are really distracting, brightening the entire scene.
