Forum: Home Simulators - Hardware

Hello all, I'm obviously new to this forum and have browsed long enough. I've noticed alot of users comment on how good the GC2 is and that it would make a very nice sim (with the additional software/screen/projector/hitting mat ....etc). I reckon all this would cost about 10k..ish. If...

Hi all, I'm wondering about the accuracy of the HMT unit? I've heard some less than positive news about this thus far but was wondering if anyone (hmm... hmm... Cory?) has done some objective testing side by side with a Doppler machine? Thanks, T

QUESTION BELOW ON BALL TESTING... BACKGROUND Well its approaching the middle of my golf season and I thought the use of the LM would go down because I have a range at the club. Turns out I have been using the GC2 for quantifiying shaft and club comparing for both my daugther and myself. ...

Hi, I'm looking at getting a launch monitor but I also need club data. Anyone have comments on club data accuracy using a mat (Protee, GSA PX2) vs a camera system (Foresight HMT, GSA)? I want a camera based ball track system for flight accuracy, but need good club data since my golf game needs...

Anybody have a link or file that contains course descriptions for the FS1 software? All I can find is FSX. Email is honkeytiger@yahoo.com Thanks

Sorry posted in wrong area.

helppp guys my garage door opener has got to be raised up some.......can someone tell me if this is possible??:hissyfit:

Hi, I am going to purchase a Optishot simulator for use in my garage during the winter months.... mainly for weekend fun with the guys..... I have an area - 9 foot high by 10' wide by 10' deep. I am looking for an inexpensive way to set up an impact screen. I need to be able to set it up and...

Hi All, I am looking to pull the trigger on a GC2 Launch monitor which would primarily be used in my apartment in the stupidly hot summer months here in Dubai. Does anyone have any information and maybe even a diagram showing the optimum position that a GC2 Launch monitor should be...

Hey guys wondering if anyone has any experience with a setup like this. I have my desktop computer with dual monitor. Its an EVGA GTX 960 with 4 outputs (3x DV and 1 HDMI). I have both my monitors connected via the DV and the projector using the HDMI. Im having issues displaying to the...

My understanding is the GC2 unit (not the QUAD) assumes you are at sea level. Hence that produces different carry distances from the real world. Anyone know of a way in the options to change the altitude setting? I know the QUAD detects your altitude and fixes that problem but I have the GC2...

What kind of running time are other GC2 users getting out of your battery? My unit is new and I don't get more than 4 hours out of the battery on a full charge. I've let it run down completely then fully charged it a few times and it seems to still have a rather short battery life. ...

I just finished the home practice studio, with the net up, truestrike mat in place and 65" flat screens on the walls i'm ready to purchase the gc2 launch monitor. the only question i have is after dropping about 8.5k on the gc2 and software am i going to have an outdated system, are there any news...

Hi there , I just set up perfect golf with my gc2 , looks great but I'm pretty sure my gc2 is not reading my shots rights, everything is going super short and duck hooks and wierd stuff like this , I do shoot the odd shots like this don't get me wrong but pretty sure the gc2 is not reading right....

My GC2 is all over the place reading wise and I was hoping someone here wouldn't mind emailing me the calibration tool. Email is jrbratten@yahoo.com

Anyone buy the GC2 cradle from Foresight? If so how thick is the aluminum it's made of? I was thinking of making one myself as it looks kind of flimsy on their website. Any thoughts?

Does anyone have a copy of the gc2 windows driver? the link is broken here: https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/tERBV I filed a support ticket over a week ago with no response. The file name is FSS GC2 Driver Installer.exe I can create a place to upload if you find it. Thanks! Jesse

Hi all. New to this site but sounds like some good information on here. I am looking to get a system that is accurate as a simulator and can work out on the range a well. Seems like GC2/HMT is the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.

Interested in getting opinions from HMT owners. I have the GC2 with FR1 software. Its been very helpful for training indoors. I do not use it in the simulator / game mode. I want club head data such as AoA, real smash factor, path, face, where I hit on the face, dynamic loft. Speaking...

Hi, I have GC2 and I read from the web someone saw a GC2 in golf shop can measure swing speed without hmt unit. Is it possible?

Does it exist? I'm running fs1 software on a GC2-T model and although I have it selected in the options screen, nothing is happening. Foresight won't answer my emails on the subject.

I've been meaning to do this for a while but finally got to the golf dome with the GC2 to see how accurate it is. The summary is yes, in my opinion it is accurate enough. I am a terrible golfer and don't have enough time to practice to get better. Maybe I will never break 100 but I'm going to...

Well I got it all up and going tonight. 16'x9' screen Optima HD25LV 2500 Lumen, GC2, Country Club Elite Mat. I have the Creative 3D software. It seems, to me, that my GC2 doesn't give an accurate yardage. The software, shows an additional 25 yards on shots, while the GC2 audio says it's less....

Does anyone have ever a good solution for playing with both left and right hand players? Found this but it's too pricey going to try something similar Diy... http://www.customdesigngolf.com/portable_golf_simulators_and_launch_angle_devices_have_now_become_better_.htm

Hi guys Anyone know if there is any way of getting the GC2 to work with E6 simulation software? GC2 is a great LM, but I'm not so impressed with the foresight simulation software. Thanks :-)

I have been scouring the couple of good golf simulator forums over the last 12 hours trying to get a definitive understanding of what the status of this apparently unstable situation is. I thought I had finally completed my decision-making process on what system I was going to go with -- GC2 with...

I've done a lot of reading here as I plan my sim set up. I've come to choosing either of the following: ProTee Sim: Pros: -easy for lefties and righties -cost effective -good club feed back -easy to use Cons: -no accurate spin rates

My GC2-T unit is acting crazy. For putts, chips, drives, FW and other lower launching shots it is right on track. The higher the launch angle the wackier the lines get. For instance a wedge that I obviously hit straight shows being hit 20 yards left. Any ideas what the heck is going on? Could...

If I hit a shot 100 yards , 200 yards, 300 yards at 2° off-line how many feet is it off-line. Really I'm just looking for the mathematical formula or a calculator thanks Dave

Just curious what others are doing for club storage in your simulators? I have 3 full sets of clubs, plus a set of misc clubs I've built over the years, plus 12 demo clubs for club fitting, plus any guest sets that friends bring over. I'm finding I don't have enough room in my simulator to store...

For those of you with a golf sim in your garage, do you leave the projector in the garage? Can it be subject to cold winters and hot summers?

I know GSA (Martin) offers individual components but am wondering if any others offer the circuit boards and software as individual items for those who want to build their own system from semi scratch ( I say semi scratch because to me from scratch would mean getting down to making one's own...

I operate a center in an urban location where space is relatively expensive. I'm attempting to make my simulator bays smaller - so that I can fit more of them. I'm in the process of retrofitting my existing simulators and every square foot counts (high rent) - so eliminating the 18 inches behind...

I am wondering if anyone has found the ideal tee for sensor pad based simulators with rubber tee holders? I am looking for one that doesn't break and won't fly out of the tee holder. I currently use the Brush T golf tee but it will occasionally come out of the holder and cause unwanted shot...

Anyone know if any of the sim or launch monitor companies are planning on google glass integration. All you would need is a LM, google glass headset and net (no screen or projector required)?? I could also see some potential/innovation in the teaching/swing feedback area??

Hi, anyone know what make/model of cameras are used in the GSA golf systems? Thanks

Hey guys, I am looking to put a golf simulator in my basement and have been reading a lot of the forums and doing a lot of research and think the GSA is a good way to go for spending approx. 10k. What are the best models or sensors and cameras to go with. I live in Syracuse and with golf only a few...

Just wondering if anyone has a preference for one of these devices for use with the GSA software and the reason why.
