Software Needed to run Pimax headsets in AH3
« on: August 02, 2026, 11:31:57 AM »
Thinking of upgrading my old flaky HP G2 Headset to one of the latest Pimax units ...From what I read is that I will still need to retain & run Steam VR for AH3, what other Pimax software is needed to run with it and does it integrate with the Steam VR or do you have to run multiple programs, also does the Pimax software have a way to select by game which driver system it uses (example) switching from AH3 to more advanced sims like DCS or MSFS ?

 I have been running my G2 with the modified Oasis drivers which work pretty well but I'm guessing I need to clean those out and start fresh with the new headset just trying to get a feel for what I need to do before I order anything..any thoughts?
Thanks
Propnut.

Pimax headset requires Pimax Play, and steam VR to run at the same time.

There is a way to make setting in Pimax Play only apply to the game you want to play.  Not sure you would want to change drivers.  Just set performance limitations in pimax play and graphics setting in each game.

A key point is to make sure your PC hardware willl run the headset of choice.


Hope this helps.

Thanks Randy..yeah drivers was a poor choice of words...what I meant was using native setups for the other games ...or do you run Steam VR on everything? Sorry I havent been keeping up too much with the changes since my G2, Steam Vr & Oasis have been all I have used on everything from MSFS DCS & AH3 and everything else  Computer wise im good for most of the headsets especially AH3 since I upgraded in December with a new PC (9800X3d 5070Ti)  from my old 2018 model that I built back in the day.
