New Pimax 8K not tracking

Feedback

I have created a batch file that will go through this process (except restarting your PC).

It is untested (I don’t have PiTool or my headset) so I would appreciate if @Sjef and/or some other code monkeys would take a look at it.

EDIT: It is extremely ugly but heavily commented. Who knew that commenting in a batch file would look that bad.

EDIT Here are the contents of the batch file (in case the Dropbox link gets broken at some point). To make your own batch file just copy the contents into a text file and change the extension from “.txt” to “.bat”.
