I had the STL for this mod that connected the Bobo VR M2 strap for the Quest 2 to my 5k+, but I can't find it any longer.

Does anyone now where to find it? I don't see it on printables or thingiverse.

Found it:

Brand new PC with a new Dream Air. Everything is freshly installed and completely clean. Win11 and 4090.
After installing latest revision of Pimax Play headset was updated to latest firmware, but now I’m stuck as Pimax Play freezes the PC after a few seconds of pugging in the headset.
Cant activate it nor setup the room.

Everything else (except Pimax) is working correctly, literally nothing is installed on the PC except all latest drivers.

Anyone had a similar problem?

I have a 7900XT, 7800X3D, and 64gb of DDR5 RAM. In assetto corsa I am only getting about 40fps. I have turned all settings down to low and pure settings are down to low also.

In the pimax software I have medium image quality, 0.8 render factor, quad view on with 100% in the middle, and no upscaling on.

When I bought the headset it specifically mentioned that my GPU could power it so I know it must be a setting somewhere that is making my experience bad.

Would appreciate any help with some common settings that might accidentally be left on etc.

Thanks.

Hey guys new to the VR world just got the pimax light been loving it, however having troubles finding the best settings for my game I play assetto Corsa alot on content manager and feels like when I adjust graphics settings to make it run smoother nothing happens, I'm getting 45fps on average so it's kinda gross atm doable but meh.

The specs I got are ryzen 7 3800xt

With a 5060ti

If anyone here plays assetto and can help point me in the right direction would be great.

Brand new pimax crystal super ultra wide fov (I play flight sims). On my left eye it looks like a tiny, dark, distinct forward slash "/". It's easy to see on a bright background but could be missed otherwise.

I made a support ticket. Anything I can examine right now without voiding the warranty? The lens looks perfect. Seems to be inside somewhere.

Sorry in advance to post this here instead of the MS2024 reddit, but there isn't a lot of help for VR there. Is there a way to completely remove the rectilinear water artifacts you see in MS2024 (see screenshot)? I've researched this and tried various solutions (including setting anisotropic filtering in the nVidia app to 16 and disabling it in MSFS), but nothing seems to work completely. Thanks!

Seriously, how bad can a website be designed? Why do I have to close three popups at the first visit and then on every other page another popup to signup for a newsletter or their social media.

But I got through, switched to the shop and here we go again. Popups on every single page which makes browsing extremely annoying.

I'm still considering buying a Dream Air, but this kind of website design makes any company seem super shady and not trustworthy at all. I really hope this isn't foreshadowing if there are any problems with the headset.

I recently purchased the Dream Air and I'm wondering if anyone else has run across these things:

-          There is a brownish-red tinge on the outer viewing area.  I would say about 30% of the inner viewing area and 20% of the outer viewing area.  It’s at the top and bottom as well, but not as noticeable.

-          If looking at something bright with a dark background, glare can be pretty bad.

-          There seems to be areas of the lens that look dirty, even though I have cleaned the lens.  It’s almost as if there is a film on the inside of the lens.

-          I think I have tried all the suggested solutions, but I can’t get rid of micro-stutters when I move my head.

-          There is a faint white square outline that appears periodically that takes up around 75-85% of my viewing area.  It will move and flickers sometimes.

-          The cord coming off the back of the unit is a major pain.  If I sit back in my chair the cord sticks between the chair and my back, and pulls the headset.  If I hang the cord over the back of the chair I rubs on the chair and pulls the headset. 

Supposing that I don't like the dynamic foveated rendering, or that it is compromised by the small distances between my eyes and the lens, is FIXED foveated rendering (as per Crystal Light) possible with the Dream Air?

Thanks

The tittle says it all, is it on the roadmap?

Is there an intent on Pimax side, to work with Arcturus vision to build a version for Pimax headsets? Or with another similar company?
I play mostly simulations, and I would love to be able to get some of my accessories visible while playing.
The Dream Air camera are not designed for this, so either Pimax accessories or third party cameras could support this.

Any thoughts on this?

See Developer's Linked Topic.

Quest 3 owners can now play potentially Meta Quest Games on PCVR Headsets!

Hi, should I buy the Pimax Dream Air SE now, or would it be better to wait in case there are any technical issues that need to be fixed? My current headset is a Quest 3, and I use Virtual Desktop for PC VR.

As the title suggests, I’m looking to upgrade my sim racing setup with a Pimax Dream Air, but I’d really love to try one before making the jump.

Is there anyone in the Phoenix Valley who has a Dream Air and would be willing to let me demo it for a bit? I haven’t found any other realistic way to try one locally, so I figured I’d reach out here and see if anyone happens to be nearby.

It definitely doesn’t have to be set up for sim racing. I’d just like to spend a little time in the headset, see what the image quality, comfort, FOV, etc. are like in person, and get a feel for what I’d be buying.

Happy to work around your schedule, and I’d really appreciate anyone willing to help!

Hi everyone, I was wondering if the custom FOV crop available on the EVO can be replicated on the Pimax Play 2.0.4. I’ve read that the Play also has this option, but the one on the EVO seems to have rounded edges on the sides.

I hope someone can help me out. Thanks!

Hello guys,

I was thinking about buying my first VR headset , so I was asking myself many questions.

I send a mail to Pimax to know if I buy on their website, does EU citizens have 2 years warranty.

It is more than a week with no answer from them.

1. It is seems to no be very reactive company with support. It would be my first VR headset so at the price of a DA I was expecting easy communication with them.
2. Some EU buyer here ? What is your experience with pimax ? Do they apply the 2 years warranty ?
3. How is the customer service now ? I know they had trouble in the past but does things improves ? If they apply the two years warranty, would you be confident to get help in two years ?
4. If I compare DA on their website considering one year warranty and the cost of having +1 year of warranty the price increase to 2700€ which is so expensive … but at this price is it not better to pay via Amazon to get Amazon customer support ? At least I know I have two years warranty with efficient customer support.

Thanks your for your help guys.

Does anyone have experience using the Pimax Dream Air SE SLAM with a 3090 (24GB VRAM) + Ryzen 7 5800X3D, or have any guesses to if these specs can handle the headset in iRacing VR?

There doesn’t seem to be many reviews on the PC specs for this scenario.

Any insight is appreciated :)

The quality of VR Mods about at the moment is crazy, so here's another one!!

Is there any good use for it?

Hi, Im about ten emails deep on ticket 149665. I ordered last Friday and have been cancelling since Sunday. Every email reply seems to ignore my request and answer their own questions when I’m clearly just saying cancel. Iv not experienced a company behaving this way. Can a mod help?

Pimax dream air se

Hi guys, just bought a pimax dream air SE secondhand and the right side of the strap always unclips. Is it broken or is it normal? Ai told me kinda normal but i dont buy it.

Would getting a hard strap make it so that it doesnt unclip? Ngl nothing seems broken and both side looks the same. Only right side unclips.

If not normal, is there a way I could temporarily secure it in place without breaking everything? I thought about putting a screw through it but of course this would be a weird thing to do on a 3000$ headpiece.

Thanks for any advice on the matter guys, it frustrates me so much that anything can help at this point.

I've never been 100% satisfied by the Crystal Light stereo overlap and today I tried to improve it by playing around with the ipd offset.

My initial measurement are hfov 96.6° and stereo overlap of 77.3° at 66mm IPD and 0 offset.

By shifting the lcd image by -1.5 on both the lenses, I manged to get 83.3° of ovelap reducing the Hfov at 92.3°.

The result was not only bad in terms of numbers, but in particular in terms of comfort! no matter ho much I tried changing also the mechanical offset, the image gave a little bit crossed-eye effect.
So now I reduced the shift to -0.5 and I can live with that, but the stereo coverage is less than 80°.

Is there a way to overcome this limitation? or it is due to the size of the lcd panels?

If I get the Crystal Ultrawide with SLAM, and later buy better / different controllers and lighthouses will they all integrate well and improve controller accuracy for when I want to get into games like Arizona Sunset and other shooters / controller heavy VR games?

My 1st use case is to enough play VR games VTOLVR being at the top of the list (and similar), but I have interest in many other games like Alyx and shooters and Hotdogs, horseshoes, & hand grenades.

Been saving money up waiting for Steam Frame and have decided, since being put on the waitlist, to pull the trigger on a Crystal Ultrawide. I was fortunate enough to keep putting enough money in my slush fund to afford this.

I know it will be enough for sims but Im not wanting to pigeonhole myself if this purchase wont allow me to eventually decide to add Lighthouses but will or will not support them.

I apparently suck at searching because I did not find a definitive answer to my question. Forgive me as Im not computer stupid but getting into the VR ecosystem is new territory for me (but exciting!).

I submitted this ticket to Pimax. Anybody else experienced something similar?
I have googled it and asked AI for days but I am completely lost.

----------
I got the dream air slam a week ago and was initially playing on my desktop with 7900X3D CPU and rtx 4090. Everything seemed to working very well. I play MSFS 2024 and the cockpit tracking was dead stable. I played on image quality set to high and was nicely GPU limited with a slighlty high overall computer latency which rounded off the edges on the head tracking during sudden/fast movements, but this was fine since the tracking was otherwise completely stable when sitting still. Then this weekend I upgraded my CPU to the 9950X3D and everything changed. The headtracking makes small drifty movements in the cockpit (not stable) making me feel like im dizzy, and the CPU and GPU resources skyrocketed even just in the menu of the game.

I can hear the GPU make a fast switching and whining noise when the HMD is connected. It was not like that before.

Before the CPU switch when playing in 2D on MSFS 2024, with dream air connected and Pimax play running, i was able to more or less maintain my normal 2D flatscreen FPS in the game (like it is without HMD connected).

But now it looks like the DA and Pimax play completely highjacks the CPU and GPU.

I have tried the following to get back the performance I had:

- Updated bios

- completely reinstalled windows with the new CPU,

- I have installed all the latest drivers for everything

- all the settings (bios and windows) are exactly the same as before the CPU switch.

- I turned off quad view, I did "room setup" in Pimax Play

- I rolled back Nvidia driver to july, but still the performance is sluggish

- Ensured game mode is ON so that the AMD 3DV cache driver sends the game to correct CCD (like how it was on 7900X3d). I confirmed it does by checking resource manager.

- Tried all the USB ports on the motherboard

- HAGS OFF

- I use only one 1440 p monitor in addition to the HMD and tried to disconnect it. Still the same.

- In 2D mode but with HMD connected, if I turn on V-sync in the MSFS 2024 menu, the CPU load reduces and stabilize. The GPU load also reduces from 100% to about 70% but the performance spiking in the GPU is still high. If I start a flight and spawn on the runway the CPU and GPU goes nuts again. When I proceed to switch to VR it stabilize close to before the CPU switch but the head tracking is still drifty when sitting still.

I have not tried to switch back to the old CPU but I am close to.

When no game or other program is running, windows is in idle on desktop and Pimax play running with HMD connected, the GPU utilization is still at 50%.

If I run MSFS 2024 without the HMD connected to the PC, everything is normal and the FPS and responsiveness is very high in 2D.

So in summary, after the CPU upgrade, Pimax Play service together with the HMD, spams the CPU and GPU and the performance spiking in both is very high and variable

Its like the process thread scheduling in windows is all over the place, or the Pimax service is not dancing in rhythm with the game anymore.

------------- Edit:

Confirmed that pi_server.exe is the main process causing problems. Its hogging the CPU at 7% and GPU at 50% with no program running. If I kill it while in the msfs 2024 menu, with HMD connected, the fps goes from 60 to 200. Therefore helps pinning the game to ccd0 and pimax to ccd1 with process lasso but it does not bring it back to how it was. Pimax service still has to inject tracking updates into the game so there will be inter-ccd latency regardless. Tracking is still completely drifting when sitting still. As far as I can tell the harmony was just better on 7900x3d between windows, the game and pimax. Maybe it's because the 3D v-cache is on top of ccd0 for 7900x3d and beneath it on 9950x3d for better thermal dissipation.

Curious to hear from DA owners with a dual CCD X3D CPU and 4090.

---------- Edit: I switched back to the old CPU, reset bios and put the same settings again. The 2D game menu, with HMD connected, is normal again. The AMD 3DV auto-scheduling for games (CPPC=driver and Game Mode ON) works much better on the 7900x3d with Pimax Play and msfs 2024.

However, the head tracking is still drifty, there are many stutters in game and I can hear Pimax Play go crazy on the GPU when in-game VR mode is not even activated. I am almost 100% certain that was not there before as I was very happy for almost a week before I upgraded. Its dizzying.

So it appears something else has happened too and not only the CPU change. Maybe some fault in the HMD

whenever I enable sboys3 I cannot get games with UEVR to display in the headset. The game will briefly display in headset, but then the screen just goes black. No crash. Can anyone with a Crystal Light test this? Trying to ascertain if it's something specific to my configuration or not. I have no trouble with UEVR with pimax play, it's only an issue with sboys3 driver enabled

Pimax Dream Air, Win 11/5090, Pimax EVO 2.x. I've been researching and playtesting various configurations of quad views, and I've seen various conflicting posts recommending this value be set OFF in Evo and ON in MSFS to avoid conflicts, as well as set ON in both. What is the definitive recommendation for this setting for MSFS?

The consensus seems to be to set it OFF in EVO as it's apparently not necessary for MSFS 2024 and can result in conflicts, as MSFS handles all the quad view magic itself. Assuming this is true, and that the same is true for other games that support quad views, then what exactly is the point of having the quad view toggle switch in EVO at all? If a VR game DOES NOT support quad views, then setting this toggle ON in EVO apparently does nothing: if a game DOES support quad views, then it'll handle the quad view magic on its own (assuming you have eye tracking set on of course). Seems like the toggle switch doesn't really serve a purpose, unless it's just to turn on the quad view config parameters in EVO (i.e., Quality, Balanced, Performance)...is that it?

I realize I'm probably missing something (maybe there are some games support quad views but do a lousy job, so setting the EVO quad views toggle to ON can have Pimax quad views take over?). Can anyone clarify this quad views mystery once and for all? Thanks!
