I've all but given up on VR concerning Pimax but now things seemed to be ironed out. I won't be uninstalling this update anytime soon unless I'm forced to.😶 FS2020 Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR
June 22, 2025Jun 22 Author Has anyone else tried this to get better performance i wonder...? After waaayyyy too much tinkering, my system was just a mess... VR performance was horrid... so i uninstalled Pimax Play completely.. all settings etc... and deleted my UserCFG.opt (after making a backup of course) and restarted using all default settings... For some reason, things were smooth again... i did make a couple tweaks here and there like turning off traffic etc but mainly left it at default.. Its very odd that this really helped and apparently no loss in visual fidelity... i had thought my tweaks were good but maybe too much tweaking here and there actually detriments performance? Could have been also a fresh install of Pimax Play? Anyone else found this approach to be helpful? i9 13900KF @ 5.5Ghz | MoBo MSI PRO Z690-A WiFi | Corsair Vengeance Black RGB RS 64gb DDR4 3200MHz | MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Vanguard SOC 32GB | MP33 Pro 1TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD for OS | Samsung 870 QVO 2.5" 4TB SSD SATA2 | Samsung 990 PRO 2TB | Corsair RM1000X 2021 1300W 80 Plus Gold PSU | Antec Dark Fleet DF700 Flux Gaming Case | Win 11 home | Samsung 65" 4K TV | G512 Keyboard | Razer Basilisk V2 Mouse | WinCtrl URSA MINOR 32 Throttle Metal / 32 PAC Metal | WinCtrl Ursa Minor Sidestick |Velocity One Rudder | MiniCockpit FCU and EFIS | WinCtrl MCDU | Stream Deck XL | Tobii Eye Tracker | Pimax Crystal Light | Doug

Could have been also a fresh install of Pimax Play? Anyone else found this approach to be helpful? FYI, I just installed this update over the last one and saw the improvements. All my tweaking that I initially did months ago was not touched trying to resolve the last three Pimax updates that clearly were bad. I just got frustrated and put the headset down ready to move on to the small form factor headsets that will be released down the road, but Pimax clearly brought this headset back to life. It's tracking options are simplified now and working better which is the real upside to this new update. FS2020 is running great in VR once again (still has issues over detailed add-on scenery/airports causing a delay when turning my head but nothing like before). I find I just have to use the headset now with areas that have little to no complex add-on airports (fighter/carrier operations, GA, or warbirds, etc), some smaller isolated scenery have no problem, but most do. Corporate or Airliners flying is out (this could mean I just need a more powerful PC/GPU). After these last few terrible updates, I will not be so quick to upgrade unless I have too. The last three Pimax updates burned me so bad I almost completely gave up the CL.😐 FS2020 Alienware Aurora R11 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10700F - Windows 11 Home 32GB Ram NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super OC 16GB - Pimax Crystal Light VR
