Pimax parallèl projection

Please see the rFactor2 links in my post 6 posts above!

 

Any update here?

 

Hey guys I also now have made the leap from HP Reverb G2 to the incredible Pimax 8KX. Wow ! It is like the shock of first putting Dk2 on my face back in 2014

Has there been any hope for the solving of Parallel Projection in AMS2 ?

 

I don't have a Pimax, but maybe this is an option

Pimax users: OpenXR is here! (unofficially)

I am running the OpenCompositeXR listed elsewhere on this site by NuScopii (Even though I have a Vive Pro). This converts AMS2 to run OpenXR instead of SteamVR (which then allows you to use the OpenXR toolkit for things like FFR, FSR etc). This has helped my performance quite a bit (Still not running night races though).

The link above is OpenXR written for Pimax by the same guy who wrote the OpenXR Toolkit. I have no idea if it will work, but maybe its worth a shot.

 

I wanted to try Pimax-OpenXR, but when I read the following on the GitHub page you linked to above:

I'm interpreting that "does not correctly display each eye" means that they haven't gotten PC2 to work because of (lack of) parallel projection support. AMS2 should be in the same category as PC2 in this regard.

Combined with the following fact about OpenComposite for AMS2 by NuScorpii:

…I didn't want to spend any time trying to get OpenComposite for AMS2 and Pimax-OpenXR to work together, since chances are low that Pimax-OpenXR will work anyway. But it would be awesome if anyone wants to test this and actually gets it to work!

 

Fair enough, although OpenXR Toolkit 1.1.3 (Latest) is compatible with AMS2 (I'm using it) but I admit I am only using FFR not any FSR/NIS but I think they fixed the menu issues with the latest OpenXR ToolKit. Seems odd as MSFS 2020 does not support parallel projection AFAIK, but people seem to claim it works with MSFS with less side culling.

 

Some fresh updates from Pimax user. AMS2 just received an v1.5 update.
OpenXR + OpenComposite works with AMS2, but it does nothing with parallel projection problem.
So some dev's effort still required. No chance I will play this game, whatever how good/hyped it is, until this problem solved. I can't accept 70 FPS, when I have 144 capped in any other sim-title out there.

 

For what it's worth, Pimax's Reality series (Crystal and 12k) have significantly less perfomance hit with parallel projection than the older Vision (5k-8k) series. The same goes for the Valve Index - it also has less performance hit with parallel projection than the Pimax Vision series. I can run my Crystal in 50% resolution with the same graphics card (RTX 2070) that I ran my old 5k+ with, thanks to the less extreme parallel projection overhead of the Crystal.

 

Sure wish Reiza would take a look at this problem, such a Frame Rate Killer !!!
