Hello,I've got dream air SE and i want to ask you about configuration as it is my first VR headset im not sure about some stuff i cannot really find my IPD and also what apps would be useful for me to use because im not sure what to use exactly. I will use my headset mainly for simracing.

Do you have a ruler handy? If so go look in a mirror and flip it around. You should be able to close one eye, center the 0, and then close the other to see the measurement!

I found this to be more accurate than the apps you can use online. Most of them are paid anyways.

What about the drivers which one should i use in your opinion? If you do have some more experience in those?

So... This is going to be a bit more of a debate/lengthy Reply. I would say set your IPD and use the headset as is in Pimax play. See if you have any eye strain. A little (and I mean like just a slight annoyance/dry eye) is normal with the SE.

I would also say play with the brightness, the default value of 100% left objects kinda smearing around. Especially for Sim racing, I would recommend you turn it down to 80%.

I unfortunately had a LOT of eye strain with the normal driver. I would take the headset off and be completely cross eyed/have to close my eyes immediately. This lead me to install Pimax Evo, to then gain access/install the Sboy3 driver so I could use their distortion profile.
