Following the recent release of NVIDIA's 3D Vision high-definition 3D stereo solution, this new sort of driver comes as no surprise. If you are using the new NVIDIA 3D glasses and a 3D capable display you'll need to have this driver installed.

I'm pretty sure any 3d glasses will work and this will work fine on any monitor. Can't blame nvidia for trying to sell more products during these tough economic times, but cmon, lets be honest here. There's nothing different in their monitors than in other monitors u can get today. It's like saying movie theaters need a special kind of projection screen to play my bloody valentine 3d!

Glasses umm these been around some time now right ?.. And i'm not about ones made by NV.

Anyways TIR and 1 or 3 monitors is much better than glasses IMO. Nothing like playing IL2 with TIR and single or multi monitor.

They are compatible with x64 bits, of course (check in nvidia drivers page).

Don't know if you have checked it in 3D. But IL2+TrackIR+3D Vision glasses is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. No other game is so immersive, even FPS (which are very nice, btw).

And IL2 + TIR + 3D googles + videoprojector 2 m wide (cheap compatible one is enough), will blow you away. It is so immersive that you don't feel as if you were in cockpit; you "are" there, you can calculate distances only by looking to the ground, planes, etc quite accurately, you "feel" the weight of the plane when it moves, and you even feel some vertigo when making a tight turn and looking to your side...

Of course, all of this is partially subjective...But for me, nothing is better. I recommend everybody to test it if they have a chance, if possible in a big screen (the effect is much more intense).

BTW, the NVIDIA glasses need a screen with at least 100 Hz, in order to have a rock stable (without flicker) experience. Unofficially they work at 85 Hz under certain circumstances, which could be good, depending on the person. Anyway, the shutter glasses could not work with "normal" lcd screens (60 Hz)

Alternatively you can use their drivers with normal screens, using anaglyph mode (cheap/free red-blue glasses, but the effect is greatly reduced and colors altered, I don't recommend it)
