Pimax’s Joshua talks with Captain Marlon Choyce, captain of the Airbus 320neo at American Airlines, as well as an avid VR pilot, in a one-hour talk.

Pimax and MS Flight Simulator is crazy good. What a time to be alive.
@Joshua, to answer your question about what to offer. A headset with the human eye horizontal and vertical FOV and resolution, with abilities of mixed reality and with a cable. When you are learning or practising a task in simulation, the latest thing that you want to see is a "low battery" message popping up in front if your eyes. Hopefully the 12K is coming in that way.
Another point would be to have lenses already protective against blue lights.
I am not a professional pilot, but a GA one in real life. Using my pimax headset together with a Cessna 172 full scale home cockpit. To combine the visual immersion together with the muscle and sense memory.
Great guest to ask questions, but next time get an interviewer that is an actual flight simmer. 🤯
First!
The best duo 💀
Very good content Pimax.
With things like MS Flight sim and current hardware, including VR headsets and compact motion simulator platforms, together with study level commercial airliners, it would make a lot of sense for all commercial pilots to purchase these set-ups and indeed, be provided them by the airlines. A home simulator set up costs way less that commercial simulator times for pilots, especially for smaller cash strapped airlines. This would allow them to get way more time practising things like difficult approaches say, but also actually getting stick time flying manually, especially in stressful situations where things go wrong and you are trying to figure out what to do. Too many accidents happen since the introduction of more advanced flight management computers, where experienced cockpit crews sometimes end up seemingly flying like noobs, with tragic results (as when a pitot tube gets blocked or one set of instruments malfunction, and the pilot in command loses situational awareness on a dark night…as has happened more than once). Hopefully MSFS 2024 will enable co-pilots to work together with a pilot in command over the internet to make such home training and cockpit management even more realistic and beneficial to their safe flying.
I used to fly GA aircraft and gliders, so VR sim flying, now with the Crystal, together with a motion simulator rig, it brings it all back for me in a big way.
What's with the cheesy ponytail and mangey goatee? He looks like a pervy porn actor who came up with the company name……..CLIMAX? No, Pimax!
How they haven't gone bankrupt with their shoddy build quality, crappy software, delays & broken promises, bad customer service and scammer 'special deals' etc I'll never know.
It takes a brave (or neively deluded) individual to trust this micky-mouse company with a single cent of their own money. 😲
Love the Crystal. Been racking up a lot of time flying the MD80 in the sim and wondering if the good captain has had the pleasure of flying the MD80:)
joshua has some serious hawthorne effect
Pimax Crystal = Buyer be Ware: I have had so much trouble with the Pimax, having firstly wated 2 moths for delivery when I was assured one month, now the set won’t work properly despite having spent many hours of my own time and almost a full day with a Pimax technician remote and still no results. Further it is plain to see that the product is very cheaply constructed, clips a very week and with continued use this will lead to quick degradation and product failure. Pimax has added a lot of feature into this device, remember if it sounds to good to be true it usually is, lots of things to go wrong.
Something down the pipeline that people haven't heard of it yet? What do you mean….I think everyone heard of 12K. The question is when are they going to show it off? E3?
