I did manage to get it to update, I did do the Nvidia driver/reboot beforehand though.

Pimax you guys rock! Vive only mode fixes the Aerofly RC8 issue.

These guys really do huge strides everytime!

What does the vive only mode do. Probably a dumb question to ask.

It makes the pimax look like a vive to SteamVR. Aerofly RC8 did not start in VR. Pitool allways tried to run it in oculus mode or something (oculus home started). Now it starts fine 8n VR.

Good news!

Smart Smoothing is finally working well! And I definitely can now recommend it for use if there is not enough FPS.
The image becomes pretty smooth and smooth :beers: :+1:

Checked in 3 games: SkyrimVR got a smooth image at 40 fps (although there was some slight flicker around the edges). In the 32 FPS Hellblade Senua, everything was quite normal for a smooth experience.
And most importantly, Assetto Corsa with SmartSmoothing on was all pretty good (which is surprising to me. That is, you can play racing with SmartSmoothing on and this is definitely good).


An interesting moment. Hellblade did not give in to adjusting SteamVR SS . The resolution in the game was influenced only by the quality of rendering PiTool. (I was able to run minimum on PiTool 1.0 normal FOV)

If smart smoothing now is working as u say, this will be a game changer. Can’t wait to play with it tonight on my laptop once Im back at work (lol), need to sleep now after work…

Also, great that X Plane 11 is now working again!

I must say Im truly impressed by these latest PiTool updates. Keep it up!

had to install it twice before the integration check was ok, and how about a ok button when the Firmware flash is finished, now it look more than a 100% freeze.

That would interfer with folks with more than one headset & pi services would need to be running anyways.

Steamvr would need to run pitool.

Ran in to the same thing but after seeing this post i closed the update that had been sitting still, closed pitool, turned off the HMD, restarted pitool, then powered on the HMD and then it finished the firmware update correctly.

How do you power off and on the HMD? My buttons do nothing.

Great job Pimax Team!
Will test it later with AC and Iracing.

I hope the ghosting in Smart Smoothing is fixed, if yes then it would be awesome.

Will report later!

When will you add a tab for each games settings or something else that helps remember all the settings applied in Pitool for a certain game

Hi Pimaxers, since PiTool versions newer than .109 i have the problem that pressing the Vive Wand System button does not start SteamVR anymore, also the same with .129. Did anyone else experience this issue and ideally knows a workaround (beside backdating to .109)?
