PCL Tracking Potential Fix

I fixed the issue (for myself). Saw this on in the ED forums, the PCL cameras operate on a certain hz. If something it sees is also operating on a hz, and the two arent perfectly synced (so always) it completely fvcks you over. LED bulbs are by far the best because they are energy efficient and do not create a chemical hazard when broken, so why would you use anything else? Answer: because LED lights operate on a hz.

I swapped out my LED room light for a normal bulb, turned off my monitors, turned off my keyboard LEDs, and covered my now reflecting monitors with a sheet, and it is night and day different. I can fling my head from side to side so hard the headset feels like its about to fall off, and I get no delay, no stutter, nothing, just butter.

Other solutions that helped me a little:
-Task manager → Details → rclick DCS → set affinity → disable CPU 1 and 2. this (allegedly) reserves a little bit of you cpu for the head tracking, so DCS doesnt use it ALL. Also the post I saw that did this said to also put the USB from the headset into a usb controller (aka the ports on the top of your case).
-Also in details window of task manager, set devicesetting.exe (with the pi logo) to max (realtime) priority.
-Covered a large reflecting poster on the wall with a sheet
-always start playing with window closed and light on, when the room gets dark because the sun goes down you have no idea, and your tracking starts getting worse.

Solutions that did not help me:
-covering the bottom 2 cameras with tape, the headset just absolutely refused to track. It would say “screen on” in pimax play.

upvote and LMK if this helped! the LED bulbs would certainly explain why some people have 0 problems and for others nothing works.
