Iâd like to discuss removing the âbacklightâ setting from cloud profiles. Imho, I think that the backlight is too much a âlow levelâ edit that most people will not understand. They wonât understand what it does or how it impacts things as opposed to âbrightnessâ and âcontrastâ and I believe that it will add needless issues.
My recommendation is to remove it.

The only reference I could find on ED command line arguments is here:
How To: Skip the launcher when starting Elite:Dangerous - command line arguments (voiceattack.com)
I think some of those args might be for PE, not EDLaunch.

Is it possible for you to program one or more fields in cloud profiles linking to game photos of graphic settings about resolution, antialiasing etc; nvidia panel etc ?
1 Like
Do you have any of those links?
Perhaps i did not explain myself well
To give the same âperfectâ experience of an experienced user the headset settings are not enough
because there are all the graphic settings of the game and the nvidia panel settings:
This is a general list of how many settings there are (link is in italian language):
Guida ai settaggi grafici dei giochi su PC | PC-Gaming.it (pc-gaming.it)
Instead of adding all these settings with the keyboard the editor of the profile could make photos and then load a link to those photos
Inside PE the user should have the option to see these photos
Before gaming, the user enters in game option and fill the settings
and NOW THE USER HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE
Still working on understanding:
if the cloud settings are loaded then you can go to the profile page for the game to see any of the settings.
However, once you get out of PE and start deciding what nVidia settings should be changed, youâre talking about a whole new âball of waxâ! In addition, it sounds as if you want someone to go into the graphic settings of each game to determine what the internal game settings should be set to.
It would take many, many hours to get those settings for each game and they would depend heavily on the users hardware and software. I donât see that what you appear to be asking for is in any way practical. If you disagree, can you do it and show us? (not trying to be offensive, I just canât see it)
If Iâm still missing it, I apologize and welcome you to try again.
Edit:
Thatâs actually the purpose of the cloud profiles but thereâs only so much we can do.
This way the user doesnât have to enter anything except any changes he wants to make to the cloud profile.
This is exactly what i am saying
to play VR better you have to fill these fields
Watch here this example
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 PC Best Settings | How to increase FPS - GameRevolution

Hah! You picked an interesting one: it wonât even launch on my system. Iâve got a support request out but itâs too soon for a response.
Ok, sounds like weâre on the same page, now.
I canât answer officially, but my impression is that what you are asking for is well beyond anything planned for PE. I believe that the global settings are to get people âout the doorâ into the best experience, not to tweak everything âto the maxâ. In other words, to cover the basic settings. But tweaking for the max experience would be left to the people who actually wanted to spend the hours needed to figure out which of those settings will work best on their system. Imho, most people do NOT.
So my unofficial answer is to warn you not to get your hopes up.
However, we need those links, so as you come up with them, it would helpful to post them.
Thanks for that link, I expect that itâll make an interesting read if I ever get the danged thing running!
Thank you
But i do not understand your skepticism
sooner or later someone else will ask the same thing
but this is not the point
IF PIMAX WOULD LIKE TO AFFIRM IN VR CLOUD PROFILES ARE A GREAT IDEA
ONLY IF MANY HOURS SPENT ON SETTINGS COULD BE SHARED
and i made my little technical contribution to solve how to make this , not the details 
Inside PE there is a Virtual Desktop
My request is a baby Crap
BUT ITâS SO IMPORTANT FOR GAMERS!
Yes! Added to backlog.

This kind of Cloud profiles need to go public so that it can be populated as much as possible by the community with the ability to select not just based on GPU but CPU and different search parameters as well and the ability to choose which profile is the best based on users rating. What if I want profiles with 170 FOV only? I canât because nobody will likely use it. What if I want a profile with RTX 3090 and CPU 9900k but were given a profile of RTX 3090 w/ CPU 5600? Then Iâm not maximized my CPU potential.
I agree and it will. As I mentioned earlier, this is only the first phase of Cloud Profiles. I hope all PE users will be patient enough for the all upcoming gradual rollouts.

Sounds good. Looking forward to it.
Please add an option âASK A PROFILEâ
This could be a list with profiles asked from community
Before âsaving a profile askedâ the routine make a check to avoid duplicate
OR
you could use a counter putting up the profile asked in the list
When an user Make the profile asked, that profile is deleted from the list âAsk a profileâ
OR
an email is sent to the user that asked the profile telling him the new profile is on the cloud.
The user should be the owner of the request deciding if the new profile on the cloud is good or not.
If the profile is not good he delete the profile.
if the profile is good he delete the request
Another user could make the same request asking a profile consenting different solutions of the same request on the cloud for others users
PS the administration of profiles is an intriguing task. Perhaps the archive of profiles on the cloud should be developped from request (function ask a profile) . The request is accepted. The owner is satisfied. The profile goes on the cloud. End PS
THIS OPTION PRATICALLY IS A REQUEST OF AN USER to an expert TO COMPLETE WITH HIS HARDWARE (game, pc AND headset are Field requested) a Pitool profile possibly with graphic settings and nvidia panel settings
Example
GAME elite dangerous
Headset : Pimax 8K X
Graphic board : 1080 ti ;
Pitool FOV Large,
Pitool nd
SS nd
The user here is asking the best profile with large FOV for elite dangerous having a 1080 ti

Hello everybody. I added some cloud profiles last night.
For Pimax 8KX, RTX 3090
Pavlov, Half Life Alyx, Onward, The Walking dead Sinnes and Sinnes, Elite dangerous, Naau, No Man Sky, Contractors vr, and a few others.
could someone test if it works for him?
for me it doesnât work via the cloud.
exactly the same settings work without the cloud.
with cloud only ⌠black in the Pimax 8kx.
can someone check that please?

Pleaaaase! Can we have Hotkeys for IPD Offset, too??? We all know that the Pimax headsets are fiddly and most to the facts that the IPD needs to be tweaked not only to match the actual IPD but also give best SweetSpot/stereoseparation. Also, while Iâm on it (donât know if that can be mend in PE) can the IPD adjustment overlay be made so it is on the PE virtual screen depth?

" can the IPD adjustment overlay be made so it is on the PE virtual screen depth?"
Shouldnât it be a better idea to use information from this link which already contains pretty much setting guidance ?

Today a new version of Pitool, V1.1.0.269, was indicated in Pitool so I updated. During this process Experience stopped. I am now back to the old problem of restarting it wihout restariting the PC. I have tried starting and re-starting Pitool. I have tried Restarting Service. I have tried starting steamvr then closing it as advised a couple of weeks ago in another thread. None of these will re-start Experience. Can we please have a simple desktop icon that will start it, perhaps it needs a restart exe if other facilities like Pitool are required to run (or be closed?). Running it is so unreliable.
