Stereoscopic 3D (SBS) Planet Coaster 1 works with Geo-11

[alistair.madan]

Hi

I tried the geo-11 3d gaming fix for Planet Coaster 1 and it worked. There isnt a proper profile on the site but the generic one worked for me. I am using a 3d tv where the output is side by side (half sbs). You can likely use a Quest 3 headset instead if you do not have a 3d tv - eg using virtual desktop app as that allows for SBS.

Here is where you get the fix and instructions:

I found that its best to switch off shadows, and have a low separation (eg 6) and high convergence eg 30 but its up to you. There are issues with 3d not being aligned and the mouse curser seems offset but at least it does work.

(By the way if your have Thrillville Off the rails or Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 I got stereoscopic 3d to work on my 3d tv with VORPX software using the 3d profiles in the cloud section. Note for Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 you will need to change the file it points to to RCT3.exe in the steam folder rather than RCT3plus.exe in the cloud profile properties.)

One thing I havent tried is to use virtual desktop's passthrough options with a Meta quest 3 - I wonder if you could get mixed reality working for Planet coaster 1 by having a plain background colour and then using virtual desktop's passthrough with a custom colour to passthrough the background colour - that could be amazing - having a 3d rollercoaster in your living room :) Need to try it when I get a chance.

Thanks
