Forum: Home Simulators - General

I bought a Skytrack golf simulator and now getting ready to hang the impact screen and have a question on ball placement. The area in the garage I am installing it is 10.6W x 19L. Which as long as the mat in on the right side I have plenty of room to swing my driver. How important is it that the...

Here is what I know so far after talking to the reps: Will Directly read: Ball Spin Spin Tilt Access Ball Speed Launch Angle Launch Direction Club Head Speed Has 2 Cameras and 4 Doppler Radars. This is done because the ES14 had half as many and had to be tilt adjusted for difference ball...

looking for someone that is using the E 16 see what kind of luck you are having with the software

This is my own personal opinions on Ver 2 of FSX by Foresight which was released sometime in Feb 2016. FSX system requirements are as follows: Operating System: Windows 7 or greater (64 Bit Required) Processor Speed: I5 or greater Memory: 8GB system memory 16GB if using the swing analysis...

Hey guys, recently set up the SkyTrak with THE GOLF CLUB and need some help. Read through lots of post here and other places but did not find answers. 1. Lots of no reads on putts. How do I turn on auto putting just to speed things up? 2. Distances way off on clubs. Is there a boost...

Hi guys , I've managed to get my Vector Pro working with a Windows 10 tablet , I feel I potentially have a nice portable set up .... Only problem is the battery on the Vector Pro is past its best . I tried to disassemble the Vectorpro but couldn't get it open, has anyone managed to get one apart...

Hello, I am new to the forum. I just picked up a lightly used Vector Pro for the coming winter. I am trying to get it running in Windows 8.1 Pro but not having much success. it works fine in Windows 7. I think I need a Windows 8 device driver for the Vector Pro. Has anyone ran this on Windows 8 64...

**Perfect Golf is now renamed Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf. They will be using Hollow Metal Cored(interesting!) golf balls to house the Electronics, it will protect them. The good stuff: "But the video game is just the beginning of Perfect Golf's ambitious strategy, which will play out publicly...

Hello everybody this is my first post here.So i don't have enough room indoors nor do i have a garage or basement so my only option would be to take it outside.I have read that it doesn't work with direct sunlight,so i was wondering if it would work at night.Has anyone else found a way to use...

I recently finished my basement pit/hitting area. I bought a used Vector Pro and have it calibrated. The problem is the accuracy seems way off. For example, my 8 iron is only flying a max of 90-100 yards. My normal carry for this club is 140 yards. My unit has the updated lenses, so i've only...

Hi all, About to start down the path of home golf! Here's my first question: Will an older launch monitor like a Zelocity Pure Launch, Accusport Vector or Vector X be of any real use? What I'm hoping to accomplish is a similar setup to the indoor place I take my lessons at. They have a...

Anyone have any advice for someone from NY selling a (gently) used p3proswing with grasstop with less than 1,000 swings? Ebay? Craigslist? What have you found worked out the best?

Hi I am in the process of trying to make my own golf simulator in the garage and was wondering what most people are doing for golf matts?:listen: Any input would be appreciated.

Decision Time: Skytrac Vs Protee. I see where Skytrac now has TGC. With each system now having access to TGC and the cost for each around $3K to $3500 it would appear that it comes down to accuracy, ease of use, data retrieval of review to help with improvement. Does anyone have experience...

If anyone has any pictures of the course, I'd be interested in seeing them. I'm working on designing Stonebridge. I've played it very few times, and have some friends consulting me on the finer points of the course. I have no problems laying out the course yardage wise thanks to bluegolf. But I'm...

I am interested in buying a used launch monitor from someone in the USA on eBay. Given that I live in Canada, would I be charged sales tax when the item crosses the border into Canada? I have read that it's best to use US postal service and not UPS because UPS charges insanely high brokerage fees....

I went to the PGA show in Orlando, Fl this past January with the hopes of narrowing down my search for a home simulator. This is actually the second year in a row I went on this quest. The first time I left as confused as when I came in. Only the AboutGolf, HD-Golf types were there. They all...

I am a HS Coach with a GC2 and looking for the least expensive solution to set up a driving range for the team to practice indoors (have the Foresight App. but looking for better graphics). A couple of courses would be great, but I will be paying for this out of my own pocket so cost is a...

Hi there, I have just purchased a gc2 and now am deciding which software to use with it ? It's sounding like the tgc software has the best simulation play and graphics but not the best for driving range , but for less then half price then the fsx software. I will charging my simulator out as a...

Hi Does anyone know of any where i can buy a new pcb for Vector x I know its old and not supported any more but I really miss not being able to practice in my garage Ive taken it to repair shop and have shown me damaged pcb Any info would be great Thank You

Kids were hitting with dirty clubs and I have a few marks on my screen. Ugh! The screen is custom made....it's a 2 piece screen system with a heavy mesh material along with a front screen that is made out of a trapeze material. Thanks! Pat

Does anyone have experience with maintenance GC2? I have GC2 three years and I think it needing some control .. Everything works great, but I would like to train without a problem even in the fall

Does anyone have any guess as to what these are? Is there any randomness to it or is it always say X% off the normal distance of the club?

Here is the new full course list for Perfect Golf: My favorite's from the list are Bandon Dunes (which I've played IRL) and Bellerive. Have fun all, some great new courses to play. Ayot Lakes Ballyneal - Real Bandon Dunes - Real Bellerive - Real Black Swan Blackwater Creek

Greetings everyone! I am brand new to this forum and registered because this place is an incredible source of advice and resources. Recently bought a used Foresight GC2A to mainly use out on the range to dial club distances during practice sessions. The purchase did include FR+1 simulation...

Do I have this right? These are the golf simulators that work with TGC: 1. Protee 2. GC2 with Bluetooth upgrade 3. GC2-A 4. GC2-T 5. Skytrak Any others?

Has anyone experimented with different widths of tape with the Optishot? I have to tape all my woods and hybrids for accuracy. White electrical tape works well; 3/4" width except with my driver. I think the height of the bottom of the driver is too high on some swings and I get really slow...

Hello all. I have combed though many of the posts in here. Great resource. I have a decent setup in my garage now with a white sheet, almost golf balls, a projector, and a stance platform with thick monster turf. The tape trick really worked to boost the accuracy with my drivers, but I am...

My ball flight starts at ground level, and I'd like to change it to where it shows the tracer at ball impact on the screen. Any tips on how to change this adjustment? Is it in the settings? Also anyone know what the special fitting mode means inside the gap testing sub menu? Thanks

Hello Everyone, new to this site. Got a couple of questions (sorry if they have been covered before) Going to build a Simulator Screen soon. Here is the basic plan; 1. Frame is 1 in. EMT that will hang from the ceiling. It will be just off the floor and will be allowed to float/swing. 2....

Hello all, I'm new to the forums after reading for the past couple months. I'm in the planning stages of building a new house and am planning to build an indoor golf space in our new basement. I'm likely going to purchase a Trackman 4 and use Perfect Golf for simulation (I'm a beta tester for...

Relative newbie with a Bluetooth connection. I have two gc2s and when I originally set it up I had both connected via USB and played fs1 and FSX with no problems. I didn't originally consider TGC because it doesn't work with two gc2s. After reading all of the great reviews on here for TGC I...

Does anyone know how to sync my GC2 to my perfect golf game? I connected my GC2 to my computer via Bluetooth but the option does not show up in the setup list. I see Trackman 3, Trackman 4, Skytrak, Simulator, etc. I tried finding this on the other site but it seems like the PG thread was...

FYI, You can now purchase TGC for skytrak.

This is a review for FSX that was released on 6 March. The latest FSX has added the 'play' component, which is the course simulator and made some major upgrades / bug fixes to the previously released 'fit' and 'compete' module. As a summary, in case you are not interested in reading the rest...

Here's a fringe question: How difficult would it be to make The Golf Club software compatible with Optishot? (Just fantasizing)

Any suggestions on what to do here. On impact the ball is hitting the impact screen, sliding across and hitting the walls. From other videos I'm seeing the ball should hit the screen and drop. Is this an issue with not enough tension? I've got grommets on the left and right sides that are bungieed...

Would anyone have any idea where I could find the type of thick foam material they use for they're mats? After 4 years the edges on mine are getting worn and it never was quit big enough to begin with. If I could find the material in full sheets I think I could make my own on a larger scale.

Hi All, I was wondering if any Skytrak users could help me out with a few questions. I have been looking into getting the Skytrak as i am about to move into a new house with a detached garage and have the ok to build my golf sim in there (from the big boss indoors but said she can buy some new...

Who makes the gc2 carry case? Can you fit the protective shield in the case? Any alternative hard cases to use and modify the foam interior? Thanks

I was really interested in the Personal Pro Golf Pad with TGC newly added but appears now they are out of business.- personalprogolf.com So is Holiday golf. What will happen to the parent company I wonder in the golf world?

All I did was post this youtube video, and they permanently banned me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbGrBp8idJM

Just saw this - Perfect Golf for GSA - $99 on time activation then $250/year http://www.perfectparallel.com/topic/4823-pg-for-gsa-golf-simulators/

Hi all, great forum here and some excellent postings on different set ups, which I have found very useful. I am in the "design stage' of building my home Sim, and after seeing some great articles here, and on a separate site as well...(for reference: ...

Does Skytrak work with limited flight golf balls? If so, what is the impact on accuracy. Thanks. Jeff
