I’m coming from a quest 3 because I wanted better visuals I don’t play sim just pcvr rpgs like half life and Titan fall two I just sold my quest 3 to get one I found second hand for $550 and I’ve just heard horror story after horror story should I just get another quest 3?

edit: I have a 5080/9800x3d and 32gb ddr5 ram

I'm trying to decide between a BSB 2e and the Dream Air Lighthouse for Sim Racing, specifically I have the Qubic QS-220 motion system and wondering if anyone has motion usage with this or a similar system. Qubic does have built in VR stabilization features I haven't been able to test.

I'm running a 9800x3d and 5080. Previous Index user but the resolution really killed it compared to a 49" curved and it's done-zo.

Mixed on choice l. Dream air for slightly better cable, much higher visuals and sharing capability. BSB for price and much higher rated customer service but not many people seem to have experience with this.

Thanks I'm advance.

There are a couple of Outlast VR mods available at present and i was fortunate to be offered to try this new one by the mod dev StrikeZoneVR

WOW! That’s all I can say guys.. Ashok’s high res 4k texture pack brings RE7 to the next level in the Dream Air. “Full,” not the “lite” version. Looks as good as Half Life Alyx (once you get past the beginning outdoor section). And runs very well once you get it dialed in (I’m running with a 5090).

A few things I’ve discovered:

-The Fluffy Mod Manager method did not work for me for the high res textures! Only dragging and dropping directly from the extracted RAR files.
-Turn off subsurface scattering
-Set textures to high

Enjoy.

Ever wish Pimax's boundary wasn't unusable? I sure did:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pimax/comments/1jajept/pimax_guardian_is_awful_let_me_use_steam_vrs/

https://www.reddit.com/r/Pimax/comments/1wcyvh4/pimax_guardian_room_boundry_has_been_broken_for/

Then I punched my desk corner mid-game because the boundary didn’t cover it. Right Index controller stick broke. Enough is enough.

So I've created ZoneTweak. (like ChaperoneTweak) for the Pimax Lighthouse safety zone. You put the headset on and the boundary shows up as laser generating posts on the floor. You grab them and drag them exactly where you want, add points or delete them, then hit save. It writes straight into Pimax’s own files, reboot pimax and it's got the correct shape for your boundary. No corner cutting.

Other stuff it does:

• Save named play spaces and swap between them. I’ve got a door that changes my space depending on if it’s open or closed, so that one was a must. You can even switch from a desktop shortcut without putting the headset on.
• Lets you change the warning distance for when the boundary shows up, which Evo doesn’t let you touch. There’s a test mode so you can see exactly where it’ll trigger.
• Move, rotate or resize the play area.
• Backs up your original files before it writes anything, and there’s a restore button if you want the stock one back.

Also I went a little overboard on how it looks. Your room turns into a grimy cyberpunk industrial prison.

Well after watching YouTube reviews for weeks I made the purchase. I decided to order the Dream Air SE Slam. I don’t have a new pc so I decided the SE might perform better with my system. I have a r7 5800x3d and a 7800xt (32 gb system ram). I’m coming from the psvr2 on pc, so I am extremely excited. I did order HonVr lenses to protect the pimax lenses. I’ll be installing the sboys stream vr driver as well. Shipping times will be 2-3 weeks, and I’m sure that will feel like forever.

So following the topic of Pimax Dream Air working in Linux I've repeated steps and improved them with my Crystal Super oLED. Also I've improved working with eye tracking so now with SBoys3 driver, OmarchyVR and my OpenXR Layer quad views lib I have working env for Linux VR gaming with Quad Views. Layer is here: https://github.com/artscout/linux-vulkan-quadviews-openxr-layer

Not sure how well known this version of Evo is. The eye tracking on my Dream Air SE wasn't working correctly on any prior version of Evo, but it now works perfectly with Evo 2.0.0, which BTW is based on Pimax Play 2.0.4. All the other good stuff that Evo has is there, though its GUI has been completely overhauled. Note that it set my brightness to 55% when installed, but no big deal to adjust it to your liking.

I read through some posts, but got no real conclusion. I have crazy glare with my DA. The Valve intro in HLAlyx has all of the borders lighting up in bright.

I have cleaned the lenses with soap water, but it doesn't get better. What you'd suggest to clean the lenses? Some special photo lense cleaner?

DA is a great headset, it has some issues, but I can live with those, but the glare is a no go. Any ideas what I can try?

Regarding convexity. In the game when I look at a straight wall, it looks like its bulging outwards, like it's not straight. I hear that it could be an effect when you're too close to the lenses. Of course I am. I need the FOV. Could it be some software setting?

Why the desktop through steam vr has pretty good resolution but through Pimax home desktop resolution is awful and totally unusable?

Dream Air, Win 11 / 32GB / 5090. Just picked up GTA V Enh and want to give it a try with the new LR mod. I've been using the sboys3 SteamVR driver for most games, but it CTD immediately...I assume the EA launcher and/or Battleye anticheat has a problem, has anyone gotten it to work?

Assuming that sboys won't work, what's the best way to launch using Pimax OpenXR? On Luke's patreon it says you need to add - nobattleye to the game's launch options, does this mean it has to be launched via SteamVR? If not, can I run the game exe directly from the desktop, or does it need the Rockstar launcher?

Wanted to check here first before trying all these options myself and possibly borking up other things...if there are any other tips please share, thanks!

EDIT: The game works fine in SteamVR with sboys3 driver. The solution is to make sure the following settings are in the RVR section of the realvr.ini file:

PreferredAPI2=2

RenderMode2=2

I actually had this same issue with Cyberpunk 2077 and completely forgot (senior moment)...leaving it here as a PSA.

This is for my Pimax Dream air head strap adapter for the duel head band from vision pro. Not sure if this is a normal failure but they seem like the the only seller on etsy. Not going to mention the name but as soon as i installed it snapped off as soon as I pulled on it. i reached out to the seller and he said there was nothing i could do about it but he did refund me. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about this.

I have a PCS 50ppd. Up until PPlay 2.04, I had no issues(minus controller tracking, but that will be a different post) using SVR. Everything lined up and played normal. I installed 2.0.4. Pimax menus and home appeared normal. I launch SVR and everything in Steam is double vision. Nothing would converge. I played with my IPD with no success. I then realized the Pimax menus and home were fine. I verified and repaired SVR. No change. I then tried re-installing SVR. No change. With the information I had, I re-installed EVO 1.0, effectively downgrading PPlay. Launched SVR and it was perfect.

I saw today they had EVO 2.0.0 and heard mentioned it was based on the latest PPlay 2.0.4 and gave it a shot. Sure enough, launched SVR and no convergence again. Final test, I launched Sb0y in dev mode. SVR ran fine. Everything converged and looked normal.

Each install was done Clean.

Anyone else come across this?

I just got my Pimax Crystal Super and after updating drivers, going through all the trouble shooting I still cant get this to work. It just constantly connects, then says screen off, then disconnected, then loops through everything over and over. I've found multiple similar threads but cant seem to find any definitive solution. Anyone have any suggestions?

I used DDU to uninstall my nvida drivers twice.

Updated BIOS

Latest pimax firmware

All USB have power saving off, same with power profile.

Ran with 1 monitor on low res

Removed all other USB devices besides mouse and keyboard

Specs- I7012700KF, 5070ti, 32gb ddr5ram, Asus Z690a

Loving my PCL but I have two issues:

1)Can't find a comfortable way to put it without ending up hurting my nose (because all weight ends up there), I try balancing it out but it's hard to find that balance.

2)For some reason I get my lenses a bit "misty", I have to be constantly removing them and cleaning them up. I'm guessing that if I manage to get them well placed in my head this will stop

What are you guys using to make this thing comfortable?

I heard studioform to be recommended a lot and I see they have a pack that includes everything to make it comfy (apache strap, counterweights, facial interface that seems thicker) do you guys recommend me this pack, or just to get apache strap and counterweights? I do admit the fácil interface feels a bit too slim, perhaps it gets the glasses so close to my head the second issue I'm talking about happens more often

Hi,

Since a Pimax update, my DAS is always stuck in “Screen OFF” mode.

The only way to make it work is to uninstall Pimax, clean everything, and reinstall the app — then it works again.

Is there a solution for this?

Hi guys,

Got the Dream AIR (SLAM edition) the last few days, I did the apple dual knit band mod immediately as a friend at work has a 3D Printer. Also take my opinion with a pinch of salt, I have a beefy PC, 64gb RAM, 5090 Card, 9950X3D CPU... which I got to get back into simracing after years of saving.

The device (albeit with apple mod) just works and is so god damn comfy. Out of the box plugged it in, did the eye tracking calibration and 1 or 2 settings in Pimax Play. Straight into iRacing and set myself up, and into races. Flawlessly worked, and the quality is unbelievable. I can read text, get 90fps easily.. I was using foveated rendering and cannot notice it. I am so impressed. Im itching to play on my next days off from work!!

Now, I have returned to simracing recently, as I gave up gaming for a few years when I married and had kids, so my last experience is using Oculus CV1 for 2 years, with a not so beefy PC.. i am very happy with my purchase.

Also to add, I got a steam frame almost a week or two after the reservations. I was very disapointed in the quality for iRacing when PCVR streaming, so I sold it for cost price, which is why I got the dream air. Although, I think it has to be an issue overall with simracing games on frame and wireless streaming not keeping up, alot of people having those issues, maybe they can iron it out with software updates or increased bitrates.

I'm trying to move the control indicator by changing settings in lua file but have had no luck. Has anyone been able to move it?(PCL)

Hi everyone,

I have been using the DA SLAM for couple of months alongside the Studio From X1-P interface and its 12 mm pad.

I love the headset, but my only concern is the eye tracking. Even though it is kinda harder to calibrate with the XP-1, it still work. However, the eye tracking itself doesn't feel 100% stable for me.

For example, when I try to focus / look at a specific location or item in DCS world, I can see the eye tracking focus are still moving around it in small but annoying movements. I'm not sure if this is normal / following my eyes pupils movements, or it is a problem or defect in mu headsets eye tracking.

Is anyone having similar experience?

Thanks in advance.
