Anyone tried them with Jane's F/A-18? Pretty much everything there is
in 3D except the radio call captions.

But, the text in the avionics isn't. You will find it a pain to try and read
with those glasses on. It's best to use them with WWI/II flight sims because
you don't need to have your head down in the***pit so much.

I hear these things will make you up-chuck if you wear them for more than 30
min or so ???

Nah. They may give you a headache and eye strain pretty easily though.
Takes a bit getting use to focusing 'into' ones monitor. The glasses
only seem to work well in very few games. Most games render the 3D
objects fine but the 2D hud info stuff is often seen as double and
really messes with they eyes. When the game works great with the glasses
its an amazing thing, and when the game sucks with the glasses is like a
visual razor blade infested***.

LOL! For me, eye-strain and a headache + moving pictures = up-chuck.

Depends. If your monitor can support only 100Hz (50Hz per eye) then you'll
be hurtin'. My glasses support the following refresh rates:

100, 112, 120, 140, and 150 Hz ... You get half of this per eye. At 100Hz
(50 per eye) you wouldn't be able to stand 15 minutes without getting
extremely dizzy. But at 150Hz (75 per eye) you could go a good 45 minutes
without irritation. I have to turn down the res to 800x600 so my monitor
can also display at 150Hz, and it's not too bad. Doesn't seem flickery at
all, though it is more irritating than without the glasses.

I'm not very knowledged in the area of 3D glasses. Why is it half the
refresh rate per eye? Why are they not both full?

The way it works is two pictures are drawn on the screen, with different
perspectives. During one refresh of the monitor, the image meant for the
left eye is shown, and during the next refresh, the image meant for the
right eye is shown. The glasses themselves will flicker in sync with the
monitor, so when the image meant for the right eye is being shown, the glass
in front of the left eye is polarized (becomes completely black) ... and so
on. In essence, each eye is switching on/off at half the rate of the
monitor's refresh rate.

GPL works well in stereo for me.
I agree that Rally Champ. looks phenomenal in
stereo !

Ahh. Thanks for the informative reply. :)

How to get the refresh rate up to 150? Do I need a special INF file
for that? The max refresh rate is only 100 at 1280x1024 using my GF2
DDR, the monitor spec is higher than 100...

by **Zed Miste** » Fri, 21 Dec 2001 10:12:58

As far as I can tell only the Asus 21.81a drivers allow for refresh rates of
higher than 120Hz. The nVidia eStereo drivers only go up to 120Hz, and
crash for that matter, so they truly suck. The Asus drivers work great, and
go up to 150Hz at 800x600 on my monitor, but at 1024x768 my monitor's max
resolution is 100Hz, so I stick to 800x600 and enable fsaa to compensate for
the lower res.
