Forum: Home Simulators - Hardware

Hi Folks, I've been doing a ton a research trying to determine how I would like to setup my basement and I am interested in some feedback on the following questions: Thinking that LM will be GC2... - How far are you hitting from screen (and what is screen size)? - I have not found much...

Anybody know the cost of the system.

anybody use their one piece soft shell lite or the one piece with monster turf?? Thinking about getting it for my set up because I like the idea of the top of the unit being leveled out, but not sure... Also not sure between the regular or monster turf. thanks in advance!

According to accusport web site 2.0 usb port needed 3.0 not supported. I read an article from pc magazine that stated 3.0 reads 2.0 as well as 3.0. What is true can I use 3.0????

I am planning on upgrading my GC2 sim floor, I am currently using an old fiberbuilt mat that I had, but I'd rather do the full room with sinthetic grass/carpet, and just integrate into the floor the small 1x2 feet matt, I went with the dura pro which takes a real tee. My question is, do I go...

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

I am currently looking for a projector but having trouble getting the size of screen I want with the throw distance I have to work with. I am just wondering has anyone done a rear projection setup with a short throw projector? I think the golf channel uses a set up like that. What kind of...

I'm in the process of ordering all my gear for my home simulator, and decided to go for the truestrike gel section recessed into the floor. I'm in the UK, Truestrike are in the UK, and so it should be nice and quick... Nope. Two weeks ago they said the end of March. They are now saying mid...

Anyone know if this company is still in business? Can't find them on the net. Got a chance at a deal on a 2010 System 4 and wondering if they are still around for any product support down the road.

Looking for ideas of what you guys are using to house your laptop or desktop monitor so its easily accessible during play on your simulators. Just got my projector ordered and getting the rest set up. Hope to begin playing later this week!

I have read several review articles on business versus home theater projectors. Generally business projectors have higher lumens in order to project larger images in the present of ambient light at various throw distances. I would think these characteristics would be ideal for a golf simulator. ...

Has anybody got any hands on experience with one of these? Just came across this while reading an article on "hot products" at the 2012 PGA Show. http://www.ernestsports.com/es12/

Hi all, I have loved the info on this site as I begin the process of building a golf sim with optishot in our office...we have punched out a wall to build out from a storage room...reason being one of the 4 guys who will be using it mostly at work is left handed!!! made setup 100 times more...

I am looking into the Sping Tech duramat for my GC2 sims. I like the option of using my own wooden tee with the GC2, since i can hit from the same spot driver and irons with the GC2. Anybody has any experience with this particular model?? Thanks!

I'm on Leith Anderson's distribution list and got an intriguing newsletter. The part that was most interesting was entitled "Real Technology Gets Cheap" and had these words: "At the pinnacle of the golf technology world, Henri Johnson, Flightscope CEO, discussed Flightscope "personal radar" -...

Hey Everyone, First off - I have used this forum to build my new golf projector/home theatre room and am very happy so far. Have not entirely finished the project and have a few final things to do. My question is: What do you put around the frame of my screen to protect the users from a...

Hello, I'm about a year away from building out my simulator space. In the meantime I need a reasonably priced net to hang from my basement ceiling. Real simple and cost effective, but it needs to last me at least a year. has anyone used either of the following, and do you recommend? ...

I would love to know what you all would say is the best gameplay and graphics of all the simulators ? Course replication and overall nicer to look at ?

Hello, I have a trugolf trutrak unit - with audio ball tracking - and as we moved into a new house I can not hit to the middle of the screen - so I had to get the sensors around 10 inches right of the center. Is there a Parameter in the XML File which I have to change to get the data right -...

I have a gc2 with starter pack (driving range, one course and club fitting software). I wanted to purchase a video card that will help me maximize the potential of the software. What video card would your recommend?

I just thought I would see if anyone wants to get rid of their p3pro with the premium courses before I go buy a new one. Because I am a Lefty and all of my buddies are not, I am going to add a second sensor pad to save some room in the garage. I will need one with the premium courses because...

Hey guys! First post on the forum. We are in the process of getting loan approval for a commercial simulator facility. We are struggling with which projector to use. Each sim bay will be approximately 13' wide by 10' tall for screen and 20' deep. We are going with Foresight Kiosk for the FSX...

I am looking for an impact screen that is a good compromise between being good for hitting real golf balls, good SIM image quality and also pretty good quality projecting HD movies. I only want to put up 1 screen. Ideally, I would like to stay around or under US$500. Can you guys advise on 1) a...

Sorry posted in wrong area.

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??

Sourcing my sim and last thing I need is a projector. I have a GC3 and will be running the FXS software. Any ideas?

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. ...
