I edited the post with the instructions from the manual. That should get you on your way.

First I thought that it is needed this proces : Condor 2 - Oculus software - Revive - Steam VR - Pitool (it is working too but not so good as direct)

but it looks so that after import of Condor2 to Pitool library it is working so: Condor 2 - Oculus software - Pitool

And it is working better , smoother and with lower load to hardware

I hope to find some time today for "Condor 2 - Oculus software - Pitool" . (real life sometimes sucks ..) ;)

To be on the save side, is this the software i need?

https://www.oculus.com/download_app/?id ... 6955407037 (OC Rift Setup)

You think ... ;)

I'm asking because wickid's hint:

"Installation steps:
Install SteamVR (which Vive users will have anyway)
Install Oculus Home without doing initial setup
Install Revive, ... /"

So I'm a bit unsure.

That is what is in the manual. It's easy to find on the oculus website. It's the program you need for the oculus rift. Not the oculus go.

Thanks for your reply!

The manual you have posted says "Install Oculus Home ...". (I know - NOT "Oculus GO")
The only thing with "Home" I found on the Oculus website was "VRHome".

So - sorry, that was confusing me and I asked, if I have to take:
https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift ... 526836829/ (VR Home) or
https://www.oculus.com/download_app/?id ... 6955407037 (OC Rift Setup)

Beside I don't like the "Zuckerberg-Universe" ...
If there is no other way I have to go for the "OC Rift Setup".
(Holy crap, 11 GB is quiet big for my 5,5 mb download!) ;)

You can try import Condor 2 direct to Pitool. But i think Condor 2 is working only as Oculus compatible game and so it need minimally Oculus software (without Steam). The software is working too without any use of Facebook pass, i dont see here any problem. On other side they invested a lot of money to VR and moved it forward a lot ...they caused second wave of VR

Thanks HornetSk,

import of C2 in PiTool was my first step - no success.
So it looks like I have to deal with the Oculus Software...

Thanks for the hint regarding Facebook, but I'm pretty sure Zuckerberg was not interested to give us something for free
when he bought Oculus. ;) That's what busines is all about. :)

Hi new Pitool 1.01.109 looks better (smoother) than the old 0.95 In condor stable 72 FPS with me 780Ti. Aerofly FS too not bad...

Hello, I'm using Condor with Pimax 5K+ but the shadows only appear in the center of the screen. Any solution ?
Thanks.

Hi, everyone

I want to purchase a Pimax 5k+ only to use with eflight simulators, specially Condor.

I would like to know if it is possible to use the Pimax with Condor, and "program" the Pimax with the mouse, that is, without the controllerrs and base station. :shock:

Thanks

Please, let me inist on it, but I am only waiting the answer to this question to purchase the Pimax 5k +

I want to buy the "helmet" alone, because I only plan to use with flight simulators (maainly Condor2 VR), not moving from the cockpit, so I want to know if it is possible to use it "alone",,and set and use the pitool program without trackpads and base stations,

Use of Pimax without base stations is not possible, and sometimes i think the controllers are too needed. Valve index would be too not bad - this HMD has very good resolution.
