You allways know someone is using a Moza wheel, when you can hear the shifters three blocks over 😅

There is not many videos of Pimax Crystal Light for sim racing. Few of Microsoft Flight Simulator PCrystal Light reviews and that’s it. I missed the roadshow in London as it was overbooked. But here we are now, I see it what I wanted to see. Will be looking for video tutorial and experimenting how to start it and what additional programs (open VR) and settings to use. (90hz). Thanks for that Kireth. Good to know you’re UK based! My device has arrived in UK warehouse already. Apparently Assetto Corsa Competizione is demanding in VR. AC Evo will be a treat!

Iracing needs a graphics overhaul lol. It seems a bit cartoonish to me and i cant explain it. It's like the shading isn't there. The reflections are dull and the colors are too vibrant or something. Its so different then everything else. But I can't tell what is different.

Good to see a pimax light video for sim racing as none out there, currently have a quest 3 which tbf is awesome and a crystal light sitting on the side waiting for the prescription lenses and padding. Cannot wait, good vid 👌

[BadSmmr]

Can you compare it to MQ3? Sure it’s better, but is it worth the upgrade?

[ThePape]

When you use shaker and Motion the beyond is much better. Also better latency. Thanks to oled

Watching you feel up the headset for 30 seconds was strangely hilarious

[guns]

Looks good. I like the headset, just don't feel like it's for me. To do so I gotta give up fov for better looking visuals. If I sold my 8kx, only cost me about £400. I knew this might not be for me before release of 1st crystal. Boss man said, this might not be for sim racers who love fov. Thats my only stumbling block. I'm probably alone but I love my 8kx. Has its issues, what pimax doesn't lol. I'll wait for a crystal pro, every loves the pro word. Same crystal light but with a little more weight for a bigger screen. If I got into flight games, I'd buy one. MsFS all about the visuals, racing not so much. I'm focused on next turn, not pixels.

Yes we all know about the Crystal Light VR headsets. But, I have had the Ques 3 for quite a while now (long before Crystal light headsets even announced) and use my VR headset for SIM racing.
The Quest 3 works well for my SIM racing and I use it for many other activities. It is somewhat cheaper than the Crystal light and much lighter in weight and less bulky in size on my head. The Quest 3 is also wireless if I want to use that feature, but for SIM racing, I connect via USB link cable.
I agree, The Crystal light headset is a great product if you don't already have another VR headset and the prices are just a little bit higher than the Quest 3. So I feel either Quest or PIMAX are good affordable VR headsets.
Take care.

Great video!! Would be great to see what level of settings and graphics quality you can get to keep it mostly locked at 90Hz in ACC. On the Aero I'm mostly on epic with a few tweaks and running 90Hz. Very interested to compare the lack of dynamic foveated rendering in Pimax Crystal lite versus the Aero. Also running a 4090 for context.
I don't think enough is said about how much a difference DFR makes.
If you do and able to make a video, I'm certain bringing in static foveated rendering in for the comparison is a good idea.
Anyway, thanks again for your videos and time you put in.
Cheers

I feel like the Reverb G2 is still the best bang for the buck. Its light and good. Didnt try any of these headsets though.

[cooknn]

I’m going to wait for the Crystal Super. 30% smaller and huge lenses for a massive FOV. Will be my first Pimax. Maybe the timing will work with AC Evo by the end of the year. Will probably want to swap my 4090 for a 5090 as well 😅

[prodriver_es]

I play with Pico 4 wifi with VD and OpenXR with a 3080, I think that if I change to Pimax Cristal light I will gain clarity whit the same adjust because os the compresión generated in the WiFi transition. That is my theory…

[-racingfan]

The reason for me it is actually not good for sim racing is that if you have a headrest the knob on the back will push your head forward. So had to go with the bigscreen beyond. Love the Micro-oled, wont go back to lcd, even my quest pro with local dimming doesnt come close.

[MrBig-ydbe]

Have you compared this to the Big Screen Beyond OLED VR headset?

[simaddict]

Did you ever sort out your IPD issue? In the video, you mention it maybe 5 or 6 times that something didn't seem right with the IPD, like you were near sighted. I received my Crystal Light two days ago and I am having the same issue. Been racing in VR for years and have never been this stumped over a sweet spot issue like this. Tried all sorts of different angles, bought the aftermarket Studioform facial interface and Apache Strap, and still cannot get a good sweet spot. I'm either going to return the headset or create a support ticket with Pimax with the possibility that my lenses are somehow not correct.

The future of VR sim racing is here ...again. Pretty burned out on VR in simracing and thinking of going for tripple screens next. VR is the most immersive experience by far but most of the time I don't want to wear a headset so I still play on my ultrawide. This massive headset looks like a step back to me.

[Metla]

Looking forward to the release of the light version of the Crystal Light....

[RCSimRacin]

Problem with VR is in ovals. I have a meta 3 and with triple 32s I can see out my windows just as I would in a real car without looking. In VR, you can’t. When you’re 150mph and inches away from multiple vehicles you can’t be turning your head constantly looking for distance to the vehicle next to you. If they could fix that I’d be all in.

Much prefer my Varjo Aero to my Crystal for sim racing.
