Default Cliffs of Dover in 3D

Hi, guys, first post, long time lurker here. I was playing original IL2 and
up untill 2005 - 06 was friquent online flyer with 609 squad. Then things changed. Vosxod and Bogun are two guys whom I mostly enjoyed flying together. Hopefull they are still flying and having fun . Anyway, back to bussiness. Recently I bought 3D projector Acer H5360 and literally put together new PC:
Sandy Bridge 2500K (3.3Ghz clocked at 4.4)
Asus Motherboard P67 Pro
ATI HD 6950 (planning to softmode it to 6970)
8Gb RAM
But what I was really enjoyng is my new DLP 3D projector on 106" high Gain Screen (HP screen reflects more light then regular scren to offset loss of light due to glasses). Avatar in 3D looks like in IMAX, just stunning. This projector can be had for (get ready) 500 bucks when on sale at Amazon, I bought it at Future Shop in Toronto for that measly price. It works with DLP link ultraclear glasses(basically projector when in 120Hz mode inserts flashes which DLP link glasses understand and flip between left and right)that I bought 3 pices for 225 bucks from US site.
Projector is only capable to run at 1280X720P mode. But that is 1 million pixels for each eye per frame.PS3 games can be played too if you buy additional adapter(199 $). I have Track IR3 (I know its old but still works), Thrustmaster pedals
and no jostick yet (don't know what can be better then Microsoft's MS2 joystick?). Also I have G25 driving wheel for drive sims.
BUT, nothing, and I really mean it, can compare with how things look in 3D it
just another world. Chaps I do recommend it.
You can read about it at AVS forum here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1193088
One more thing, I watched Avatar 3D on 65" Panasonic TV (price tag 4000 $),
and feeling is that you are looking into aquarium (even at 65" it is too small for good 3D. This 500 bucks Projector wipes the floor with any 3d TV, for 2 major reasons:
1. Size DOES matter when you watch 3D
2. There is no crosstalk like with LCD 3D TV and less with plasma 3D TVs(plasma pixels are faster go from dark to color and back), but nothing beats
DLP as there is just mirrors )
I definitely recommend instead of 1920X1080 flat for both yes
go 1280X720 for each eye, which pixelwise is the same 2 million pixels for videocard to process, but outcome is perception of depth, which in flight sims
could help many to literally "feel" how far that bad guys is and what deflection is needed to hit him.
I hope this info will help those who want to see Cliiffs of Dover in gorgeous
3D.
