Hello,
I have received my Pimax 8k+ today, and I would like to play DCS World OpenBeta.
But I see a bad resolution and when I move my head forward (no rotation) the cockpit come with me. I have the same problem in the main menu with the moon on the land…
I use 9 axis mode.
How I can resolve it please ?
Regards
I think 9 axis mode doesn’t handle positional offsets (only axis rotation). Do you have at least one base station? If so, use it.
As for the poor resolution, that’s a SteamVR issue. Here’s how to fix it…

What is 9 axis mode? So far I believed there are only 3 axes in our (euclidean) space.
That’s what the opposite of lighthouse mode is called in newer PiTool versions… 
I haven’t base 
I see on youtube some people have 9 axis without the base…
Yes like you have 9-axis mode but its only rotation axis.
Yes 3 axes in Space whith 6 degres of freedom ( 3 rotation and 3 displacement)
And 9-axis have only 3 rotation or freedom.
I dont know why 9-axis.
You can play cockpit games like DCS in 9 axis mode, but then it’s advisable to keep the head relatively straight - which in cockpits usually is the case. Unless you need to lean in to read the instruments properly, which probably is what happened to you.
If you correct the maximum resolution in SteamVR as suggested by Neal, you will hopefully not feel the need to lean in anymore.
However, if you still do, or if you just generally want to have the best VR experience, you will need to purchase a lighthouse base station from e.g. Valve, HTC or Pimax (@all others: does the initial setup with only one base station nowadays work well in SteamVR?). I would recommend that unless you are really trying hard to avoid any additional cost.
One base station works fine for seated cockpit games. I have a ver 1 base station, but a ver 2 should work similarly. I’ve actually bought a second unit, but haven’t hooked it up yet. I’ll do that once I get a pair of Index controllers.
Yes. A single basestation works fine for seated gaming… 
Just remember You have to do the “Pimax Dance” in front of it to get it tracked initially when You’re too close to it.
I have one basestation in one room (above my monitor) and two in an adjacent room I use for room scale gaming… 
To switch between them I switch Chaperone profiles in OpenVR Advanced Settings (first setup one room, while keeping the other basestation(s) off, then save the profile and then do the other room the same way and save).
I found this issue about rotation, auto rotate and orient or move sometimes, this cuased in my friend pc. And make tracking of base station to be unstable.
I think it is about some power source is not enough. May caused by power hub or pc.
some member report the wrong resolution per eye after swap from 5k+ to artisan. They need to reboot and restart service a lot of time. It look the headset or firmware keep some cache because when I try to change the logo image file in the folder, the image not change or show dark panel in one side.
