Did you enable native Foveated Rendering to enhance performances? Did you try to use OpenXRToolkit?

Yes to both questions. The Foveated hack seems to give marginal performance with some weird artifacts in my peripheral (black lines, clouds vibrating, etc...) Need to play with the different settings more.

Quick update:

Adjusted the top strap so it's more comfortable now, operator error.

Glad you got the HMD so it's comfortable, I'm looking to get a Crystal Light sometime.

To enhance smoothness, consider the following experiment.  Disable "Smart Smoothing" in the pimax software and set a FPS limit in the Nvidia control panel to 1/2 of the HMD's refresh rate.  It's recommended to use 90 htz for the HMD refresh rate since you can get 45 fps consistently.  Doing this creates a perfect image update sync between MSFS and the HMD which greatly reduces if not eliminates judder (aka stutters), plus it should get rid of jiggly artifacts.  Using the MSFS graphics setting "Reprojection Mode: Depth" also helps here. This works great with my G2, hope it also does so on the Crystal Light.

Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated! There are so many settings and combinations to choose from, it's hard to know what works good. I think I am done tinkering, I am stable at 45 fps, medium settings, and fairly smooth in all geographical regions.

I highly recommend the Crystal Light! It has room to grew with the next gen GPUs, allowing you higher settings.

Can you do a walkaround in VR? When I tried I was taller then the plane, lol. Not sure if the outside view of a plane in the sim are scaled to real sizes.
