Default 3d glasses

I was thinking about getting a pair of vr 3d glasses. Does anyone here have
any experience or comments re: 3d glasses for use with FSCOF?
thanks

We had a pair of the Wireless EDimensional 3D glasses that I used with
FS2002. They worked quite well but we got bored with them after an hour or
so. They lay in a drawer until recently until I sold them for a third of the
price I paid. Some people swear by these things but we wrote them off as a
good idea with a disappointing realisation. Being something of a sceptic on
these matters, I cannot fail to notice that these glasses tend to get rave
reviews on sites that also carry EDimensional pop-ups and editorial puffs.
No doubt others will post their more positive views. For what it's worth, my
advice would be to ask yourself whether you can afford write your
disappointment off to experience. If you can, then buy the specs and you may
enjoy them.

Very very poor product for use in flightsim. Their usefullness depends on
the game - use them in certain first person shooters and the effect is truly
great but use them in FS and you will be disapointed.

I found if they were set so the cockpit looked great then the outside was
flat. Set them for a 3d outside and the cockpit was so 3d you would get a
headache in 3 seconds. Obviously can't be flown in the 2d cockpit as you
will see 2 cockpits when you fly.

I agree with the previous poster that these glasses are ok for an hours
worth of wow only - after this period you will put them in the drawer never
to be seen again.

I actually enjoy the effect 3d glasses give in LongbowII. I use them all the
time. The pair I own are EyeArt 3d glasses. I use the old Wicked3d driver
that runs fine with the Voodoo5. The drive allows me to set LongbowII
resolution to higher as well (1024x768 with 4xFSAA looks good) It just gives
a kick to an old helo sim and keeps me flying it.

I use them when I fly, they do have draw backs. Cant use the kneeboard. Like
the effects given. Takes alot of tweaking to set right.

I entirely agree with those who say they are Ok for an hour and then never
again. They certainly work, but in Flight Sims they make the screen a lot
darker and after a while you just want to tear them off and throw them away.
Mine have lain abandoned on my desk for nearly a year now!
