yeah but it’s total garbage tho - the devs don’t give a crap.
to play i have to physically remove a GPU and use a keyboard.
that is not VR friendly
OK, well that’s just weird… IDK about having to remove a GPU since I don’t do SLI because no VR games support it AFAIK but do you not have a HOTAS? Works great with my X52 and even my cheap T-Flight… hell you can even play it with an Xbone controller! Pair any of those with Voice attack and this game is still a Sci-Fi / Star Trek nerds wet dream!

that’s my point, the devs don’t give a crap.
as for wet dreams, i’m an adult 
Haha… well you certainly seem to be agitated by this but I have never found Frontier to be anything like what you say as in “not giving a crap”… They were one of the first full games to support VR from the beginning and it is still working fine for me and many others 5 years later so… Anyway I am off to play Elite now and I’m sure I will still enjoy it just as much as I always did back in the day! [;]-)

I don’t believe that. I think the bigger problem is they would likely need to create a new game engine to really take full advantage of VR and multi gpu and multi cores.

Here’s mine… 
First edition:
And second edition (re-used the wooden side pieces):
Old pictures.
Only thing I want to change is the height of the armrests (too low). Also they could angle outwards slightly…
EDIT: Noticed there’s no wheels on the frame in the picture of it “bare”. I forgot I added those later (fixed wheels in front and wheels that turn and brake in the back) as it’s way you heavy to move around without it…

Very nice indeed! If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get that seat from, and is it powered/motorized?

It’s bought second hand from a guy who had replaced his Audi A2 seats with leather seats as far as I remember.
Not motorized. Thought about it, but thought the gains were too small compared to the effort of wiring and buying a power supply for it.
I’m the only one using it anyway so it’s kinda set and forget…

Very nice. So many seem to be strapping a HOTAS on an office or ‘gaming chair’, I have to admit, I am a bit surprised so many others here on the Pimax forums also seem enthusiastic about using car seats for simpits!

And I was wondering what kind of an office chair was it

I wonder if this actually represents a meaningful difference between Pimax users and other simmers. Maybe we really spend the time to care about the seats.

Are there news about RotoVR compatibility with Pimax 8K X ?
3 Likes
If it works with any modern Pimax headset, like the 5k+, then it will work with the 8kX. The PiTool software stack and such works exactly the same.

Well since the head tracker for the chair is just a puck that clips to the headset itself I think it will be compatible with any headset… as for the cable management that’s gonna be a different story since this was originally produced back in the gen 1 days so AFAIK the only connections on the cable housing for the chair are HDMI and USB 3.0… I heard they were looking at updating this to support more modern headsets but TBH I’m not worried about that since I have an overhead pulley system that should work fine until Roto gets it sorted out. I was in contact with them last week and I am slated to receive one in the studio for a review and some gameplay vids but IDK how long that will be before they ship it to me so stay tuned as I will of course post any content I make with it here!
