[solution] Enjoyable gameplay in 3D on passive (FPR) 3D monitor / TV [Tridef profile for ED]

As you may know if you ever tried to play with built in 3d mode on passive (FPR) 3D monitor / TV , the only option you can go is SBS (Side by Side).
This mode cuts half of the horizontal resolution and together with FPR technology itself it makes text hardly readable.

The only solution until the game will (ever?) support interlaced output is to run game throuh Tridef Ignition. It has interlaced (which native for passive 3D) output and so-named "soft interlaced" mode that greatly improves picture quality on FPR displays.

With the realese of Tridef 6.4 they have even added Elite Dangerous profile to run the game, but it sucked honesly.
I've modified the profile and now you can enjoy the game in 3D without any wierd glitches.

Pros of the profile:
no depth glitches (such as poping out lens flares, solar coronas or nebulas)
zero ghosting (crosstalk) on planet edges, asteroids or crosshairs
very nice depth of the cockpit, radar is way more readable then in 2D
all the text in game is readable
game is playable :) and it's kinda boting to play in 2D now.

Cons of the profile:
The space itself and faraway objects have about zero depth, so they are on "monitor plane". This is because you cannot adjust in Tridef the depth of nebulas, milkyway and main crosshair. However I can adjust whole scene on my LG TV (with TV settings) but cannot on my AOC monitor. But in general, it gives also ghosting-free image of faraway space.
It takes 2-3 minutes for ED to start up when you press @START@ in launcher (something with online nature of ED I suppose, offline training starts immediatly)

Thank you! I will try this ASAP... One more question, how do you get ED started using tridef? As you have to use the launcher to start the game... Thanks!
 
I´m in the same boat as Doctor Eex,
using tridef now as a workaround, which results in ultra slow loading times unfortunately.
Thanks for your profile, maybe i gonna upload my modified version as well.
anyway,
please FD add line interlace 3D mode support :)

As always, use ED launcher link to add the game... But as I mentioned before, you have to wait up to 3 minutes (!) after pressing START button in launcher. But after that it eventually starts.

Yeah, native interleved 3d with tridef style smoothing will be extreme cool.
 
I have tried setting up the profile but the game does not launch at all ..even after setting "launch as admin" for the launcher and the tridef app :( can anyone help?
 
I've tried your profile and lens flare, nebulas and such still pop out. Does the profile still work for you Doctor?
