The formal beginning of a long-term collaboration

Starting in May 2026, Pimax and Skyward Flight Media have entered a content creation focused collaboration. Following a conversation about how Skyward could approach a potential product review, Pimax offered an opportunity to review one of their high-resolution virtual reality headsets.

The Headset

Skyward selected the Pimax Crystal Super Ultrawide virtual reality headset for review. Our reasoning for this was primarily driven by aviation related interests. With Pimax headsets known to have high pixel density and resolution per eye, we selected the ultra-wide variant using the logic of increased field of view is more beneficial for situational awareness in aviation.

The wider the field of view at higher clarity the better the ability to read aircraft instruments, visually scan from the cockpit for other aircraft or pop up threats and enjoy the finest of details from as small as scratches in a front dash to the types of breathtaking views that often can only be seen from the air.

Our Method

Rather than immediately jump into a high intensity rapid testing period to produce a specification heavy review in less than a month, Skyward proposed something that would push this beyond a short-term venture. We created a long-term content creation plan based on a few factors specific to our organization:

Long-Term Use Case: We know that virtual reality headsets are a serious financial commitment. The best way to review a product like this is to use it for an extended period of time to get the true ownership experience. Quick benchmark focused reviews focused on specifications are useful, but they also do not represent the realities of day-by-day ownership. We hope to show that in our series.
Content Variety: A staple of our identity is that we have a wide variety of titles we fly in. We plan to use the Pimax VR headset as a part of our standard content creation and flight experiences throughout the collaboration period. This falls in line with Long-Term Use Case model. There is not better way to test a product than take it everywhere we can with us.
The Demographic: A member of the Skyward staff, known by the screen name “KOSMOS”, has owned various virtual reality headsets and advocated for others to purchase them. In January 2022, he purchased a Valve Index and grew to greatly appreciate its high quality. In 2026, he began to search for his next VR headset. The offer to review a Pimax unit this year came as pure coincidence. This gives the content that we make with the headset the point of view of someone that is an experienced VR user who has had multiple headsets and is in the market to purchase a new high-end device.

Going forward we plan to produce an article per flight simulator from a list of titles Skyward put together itself using the Pimax provided headset. Each article will contain information about setting up the headset for that title, media recorded with the headset and feedback from ‘KOSMOS’ while Skyward continues its usual content creation process.

Ultimately this will lead to a formal review of the headset from the point of view of a user that has used it for an extended period of time across a variety of flight games and simulators.
