hi
just so you know
that I have a 5k+ 204 (and I’m not lying).
and I’m with pitool 197 firmware 255
and I’m in 120hz wide large fov.
I’ve been testing the new pitools
without any success no large fov with 120hz and a lot of lags etc.
197/ 255 is the best for my 5k+.
tested and approved 
What GPU do you have?
i7 6850k lga 2011
rtx 2080 ti
32go ram
and my 5k+ is happy
Are you sure it’s really actually full fov though?
yes
pitool is on large and in 120hz and on steam too
I don’t know what to tell you about the fov, but it’s big, not in medium, that’s for sure.
and it doesn’t lose height
I tested by reinstalling three times.
may be a bug, but it works.
with just a little bit of warp like in 90Hz.
Check your steam render resolution and or can use @risa2000 hmdq program to check rendered FoV.
Hmdq can be found here
Ok , so I upgraded my PiTool to the latest version this time. And 144hz is still cross-eyed. There’s definetly something wrong with the profile. All other refresh rates (120,90,72) look fine.
EDIT
If i drop the IPD Offset to -10 or -9 the cross-eye is gone
weird.
On 72-120 hz i can leave the IPD Offset slider in Pitool at 0 and the physical slider all the way to the right. (My actual ipd is approx 70mm)
but at 144hz i need to drop it to -10 and when i touch the physical dial it says my ipd is 64 (max dial to the right)
From what I recall, it will say “large” but it isn’t Pimax’s full screen real estate and had a bizarre cutout for the fov.
People keep making a stink about the cross eyed thing but it’s an easy adjustment to ipd offset. I am impressed with this update, except for the catalyst which seems to only produce visual glitches amidst the performance boost. It does show promise though.
I took the test and it actually gives me a total fov of 143°.
120hz and 143° is already good for simu
bizare its large on pitool
and in the hdm I just have a tiny little black bar on the side that’s wide open.
143 is just a bit bigger than Normal FoV in Hmdq.
Large 160 wide
Normal 140
Small 130 if mem serves.
hi
Yeah, 143 is almost normal.
but in the helmet (and I know my 5k+ well since 1 year. )
I did the tests smal normal large
That’s what’s strange to me. The picture is full, just two little black bars,
not like normal fov.
I can’t take a picture to show you.
If I switch to pitool 248, for example, everything’s back to normal.
no 120 htz wide, fov patotos etc …
I’m staying with 197! 
Maybe the fact that being in firmware 255 and pitool 197 creates this cool bug.?
yeah but you shouldnt have to do that. A bug is a bug and its beta software so we SHOULD make a stink about it.
Thats WHY they release the betas.
i was very impressed with the fov at 144hz. I was expecting it to be maximum 110 potato
No, you don’t understand.
I tested different pitools and in the end the 197 is the one that gives me the highest fov with the 120htz.
with firmware 255
and it’s working very well, I’m not complaining.
I pass on the information to the community…
I would rather they stop with the small medium large stuff if there is no consistency between refresh rates.
They should just show the number.
I have had several versions of the 5k+ in my possession since February 2019.
I have a model 204 at the moment
I’ve been testing different pitool and firmware versions since 197.
without tampering with anything.
197/255 5k+ ser204 top for me
I tested the 144hz on my Pimax 5K+ ser 203 and it worked for steamVR home, the FoV is great. The strange thing is that resolution is still not the same than other modes, the available resolution is either smaller or bigger than the “small” on 72 Hz.
But unfortunatelly, it is not usable for DCS and IL2 GB. There is no possiblity to have 144 Hz for these game, and currently SS will need 72 Hz. That’s not possible in all cases for IL2 GB (that do not like SS anyway, it introduce a lot of glitches), and abolutely out of scope for DCS, which seems capped at 50 fps max for VR.
So I wonder if it should be possible to have other Smart Smoothing factors than /2. As I understood, Smart Smoothing is “interpolating” images between computed images, that is one image on 2 is interpolated. Could it be possible to have 1 images on 4 computed and the 3 others interpolated ? or maybe 2 on 3 for 120 Hz ?
So we could have 144Hz fluidity with frame rates compatible with some “heavy” games. I do not know if it make sense…
same bug here, s/n 203, if can be of any help I am on a gtx1080 drivers 441.87
i tested firmware 263 with pitool 197
144hz and fov 143°
work nice
