GP4 (In full3D) honest!! Amazing..

I received my copy of GP4 after 2 weeks of heavy F12002 play. So Crammond was on the backfoot before he came out of the box!! Well, after a weekend of tweaking, playing, bombing, tweaking, playing, crashing.. you get the idea.. I got a good compromise, and I liked it... Different and heavy but OK.. On Monday I took delivery of my edimensional 3d specs.. (IR version) Spent all evening fiddling loading, setting up etc.. WOW!!!!!! this looks good, I thought So rub of hands, GP4 here we come..... Bearing in mind this game is a processor hog and 3d basically needs to double your image production I was expecting a 3d slide show... WRONG!! Fan-bloody-tastic Was this game coded with 3d in mind? It is the Mutz Nutz in 3D. I am in awe of the representation produced by these "geeky" looking glasses... I must look a complete idiot, MOMO in hand and "Roy Orbison" specs on. After some initial issues, ie the cockpit was in full depth, s\wheel cockpit and wheels all in layered 3d, but the track still looked 2d. I managed to adjust and change my view so the cars, track and all the overheads, countdown markers etc were in full 3d.....AMAZING Monaco is just awesome... speeding up the hill twds Casino Square is just the most amazing sensation of speed and reality I have ever experienced... complete immersion... I have been coming up behind other cars and been staring in amazement that the car is actually in full 3d on a track with depth and detail!! I could go on and on and on... Smoke and dust, actually drive "through it"!!! the kerbs now "look" raised, the countdown marker boards have full depth, I actually drive "under" the bridges, the pit crew are all 3D'd.. The only drawback is in order to appreciate the full 3d experience I have had to opt for the nose cone view to drive. (No cockpit( )But the sense of speed, yes speed in GP4! is tripled with specs on. The overlay banners do not affect PO which with 30 FPS sits comfortably on 80-110% Threads about 3d specs are mixed in their view about how good they are. So the perception is a personal one. I am a 41 year old "closet" gamer. I do not work for edimensional, nor am I on commission.!! I just want to share my enthusiasm for a new way of immersion into the world of sim racing... By the way, I have tested over 20 games in 3d now and have to say, many are very very good.. Obviously, racing,, flying and FPSer's lend themselves ideally to 3D... I don't want to go off topic, but Ghost Recon is another amazing game in 3D.... F12002 is also very good, but the bolder graphics of GP4 lend themselves to better 3d imagery..

once you see the screenshots you will immediately reach out for your old GP2 cdrom no kidding I have both games the same music, the same shit menu there is however a full race replay but they don't have the REPLAY word in the entire game. go figure you will have to dig deep and hard just to find , kinda of game on its own ( 2 games for the price of one ) "Papa Lazarou" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:_ofS8.358603$[email hidden] ... > > > One happy 3D Gamer > > post some screenies :) > >

Why is this? I find it looks good from the cockpit too. Just use control-F5 the first time so the cockpit does not try to be drawn in front of the monitor (control-F6 to move the other way). When you're happy, save settings with control-F7. Btw the 3D effect from the helmet view is even better. The higher point of view gives better perspective. >... Bart Westra

Wow, you make me regret buying that new LCD screen sitting in front of me. Maybe I'll have to get me one of these specs and dig up my old CRT screen.

For another E-dimensional treat, try Rally Trophy in bumper/nose cam mode (the perspective in cockpit mode is just too exaggerated). With the right convergence settings, you'll have the monitor act as your windscreen, with the beautiful Nordic landscape coming at'ya in 3D with an alarming sense of speed! (And oh yes, turn off all effects detail in the setup to get rid of the buggy car shadow. You won't see the smoke or dirt on your car whilst sitting in it anyway... :)

what is your machine specs PLEASE specs.. (IR version) staring in amazement actually drive "through enthusiasm for a new way

eDimensional's site: http://www.edimensional.com/review.html has a bunch of favorable comments & reviews from the likes of SimRacingWorld, the Falcon 4 community, SIMHQ.com, Flightsim.com, and 3D Gaming World. For $69.95 (wired) or $99.95 (wireless), you can't hardly go wrong. I'll post more user comments here...as soon as I become a user. --Steve "Ian Dickson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
