Hello fellow Pimax users. Today, I can now announce that Il2 Battle of Stalingrad Series WW2 flight sim supports Pimax canted displays.
No longer is there a need for Parallel Projections Compatibility.
This means for us, less hardware resources to get a good image, better clarity of image, vanishing point is drastically improved and more.
They have also released 2 new maps Rhineland and Arras and a host of new planes to match including PO38J, P51D and the British Hawker Tempest.
There are still issues with Fixed Foreated Rendering and it would be interesting for people to test and report their findings here and to the Il2 Hardware / VR forum.
3dMigoto needs to be updated too, as always. Wait a few days for that.
Game zooming without paralel projection is wrong. As I use only Migoto, that does not bothers me.
Wait for 3Dmigoto to be updated if you are using that. Then again, I would check out the changes without the mod first as a heck of a lot has been changed and worked on.
Zooming with Parallel Projections turned off is usable if you close an eye. It sort of goes cross-eyed along the vanishing point if you use both eyes. Devs are aware of it but it is a problem to work on.
I didn’t notice that…I use my few spare time to prepare next version of the mod, for the moment I’m more on shader finding in 2d (easier to work with).
It’s funny that vanilla zoom is broken without PP, because that’s the same with DCS.
Maybe the same fix than DCS will work…I will try, because vanilla zoom display more object than my modded zoom, it may be usefull to stack them.
Lefuneste, please don’t try to stack them. The ingame VRzoom scales the scene falsely now. This may just relate to canted display headsets.
Objects, landscape, buildings, scenery zooms in. Dynamic objects like aircraft do not. If you use very high supersampling, they will even decrease in size when you zoom in.
Nice to gain the performance without PP. So much smoother. Changed from 64 to 72Hz and 80 to 100% SVR video. Climbed over a mountain in Kuban in the DR1 and rush down the other side at tree top. Had an Oh WoW moment. What a sense of elevation. Great update.
I was in beta team. If the zoom doesn’t work, still MP servers make no sense for me. Also I need better colors and sat. from the 3DMigoto mod to fully enjoy that game.
Was also in the Beta team. Why not change colours and contrast from PiTool for the game?
No need for a 3rd party mod.
Personally, I just run Il2 Gamma at 0.7000 in startup.cfg and disable Bloom but have HDR on. That does it for me on the 8K with Normal backlight and no colour tweaking.
I know the 5K is different but that would be for general usage as it is more bluish from what I understand where the 8K is warmer in colour. Dial it in via PiTool.
Really, I mean you have RGB channel controls, you can add and subtract each channel to your hearts content as well as backlight and contrast. Drop your Blue channel or if you want more colour on the warm side, add more Red.
The mod will add filters to the image but each to their own, it’s just another layer to process. I prefer not to have so much Colour “Pop” in my headset.
Developer made great job!
