Starship on a Pimax Crystal Super - WOW - (and lod questions)
-
I just upgraded from a Quest 3 VR headset to a Pimax Crystal Super ultrawide yesterday. Struggled for the first 10 hours but then I got it tuned really well. Just finished flying the Starship and WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. The graphics of the starship rendered in high res in VR is stunning. I flew into a sunset and I flew for 2 1/2 hours and never took the headset off or changed the sim speed. It was like I was in the real aircraft. I didn't think the Starship could get better after 400 hours but I was WRONG!
It was interesting to see the difference in where there were LOD issues with the pimax versus the quest 3 - the quest the carbon monoxide detector doesn't work unless you lean in - on the pimax that works fine. On the other hand there's a bunch of text on the buttons on the msp's and the cdu's that doesn't appear unless leaning in. Nick - is there anything I can do to help provide info to help tune that?

Glad to hear you've found yet another level of Starship enjoyment! I had the pleasure of trying Starship in VR for the first time just a couple months ago on a friend's setup, and I too, was quite amazed. It put me right back into the airplane I visited for research.
Sorry you're dealing with this most infuriating MSFS 2024 "feature". As I think you know, I have to anticipate and hand adjust each and every object that I think might be too small on some displays to prevent this. I've been taking good care to do so in my recent aircraft, but I will just have to spend some time with the Starship cockpit model before the next update to fix this. Sorry for the wait in the meantime.

To add some context. It seems that PMDG found some way around this. I don't notice this issue with their 737 serie planes. Using the Pimax Super 50ppd.
@Chimaeira Last thing I knew, Asobo was still adamantly opposed to helping us with this, as it was a "feature", not a bug. After checking the developer forums, the most recent comment from one of the moderators was an offer to "reopen the subject internally". In the meantime, I have a solution. I just takes some guesswork, manually editing each part of the model, and re-exporting. If you hear of any tricks from other developers, please let me know, though!

Although I enjoy flying the Boeing, I'm not really active in the PMDG community. I just notice they seem to have found a way somehow. Perhaps they too guessed correctly in mitigating the issue. If I do come across anything specific I will let you know for sure!
