FSX 2018 is very good

[BWJones]

I got FSX 2018 yesterday. I am very new to FSX, but I can say for sure the graphics difference from FSX to FSX 2018 is huge. I was not impressed with the graphics in the old version. I even own the expensive courses, and the graphics were marginal. FSX 2018 is a huge difference in the graphics quality! I would say the included courses graphics are about as good as TGC, and the expensive courses look even better than TGC. I am extremely impressed with the graphics quality with FSX 2018. I have not spent enough time to tell you about other features added or upgraded.

auto shot will just hit a shot - don't see much use in it except for texting I guess. You should be able to use the arrow keys to aim.

[Duffer41]

Totally agree

I have two questions if anybody can help. The first is I have my Gc2 to auto connect but I have to manually do it every time. The second is I have a two camera setup but when I go to FSX live to view my session it only has one camera view. Anybody now how to switch views? TIA

[mmlincon]

Auto connect only seems to work if you are using the ethernet on Quad or Serial with GC2. It needs to be on before start FSX as well. I've notices the same thing with the cameras. I've been meaning to ask them whether they plan to upload both videos to thier performance site. I believe camera 1, if not just swap, is the one that is sent to their site. So, you can control it by making the desired camera camera 1. In the software you just select none for the camera and then add the desired ones back in the desired order. That's have I've been doing it.

[mmlincon]

wow that pasted poorly - well you get the idea/info

[p3eps]

Annoying that I upgraded 2 weeks ago - and still haven’t used it!!
I wonder why Carnoustie isn’t included in that set?
Perhaps they think they’ll sell lots of them this week?!

[mmlincon]

Yeah, that's a bit odd. Honestly, I didn't even look that close. I just assumed it would be in the pack but nope.

Any update on FSX 2018 App working with GC2? Would be a great add-on for the range.

[Bloodredshadows]

Yep, I've got it working with GC2 now.

[Aohare]

Excellent that GC2 works with it

[Bloodredshadows]

Actually, I tell a lie, my iPad app is not working with the GC2. I thought I had managed to get them paired up but sadly not!

[Bloodredshadows]

Been told that GC2 support will come in the next FSX Mobile update which is due at the end of July.

[Aohare]

They need to compete with Skytrak, hopefully Foresight will grow the app and have a lot more options in it.

[A.West]

I updated the FSX Mobile on my Android Note8, and after logging into fsxlive and connecting my gc2 and hmt to it on Bluetooth, the driving range worked! All the information I normally see, which will be convenient on the range. Glad they added gc2/hmt support on the app now.

Is anybody using cameras with FSX? I cant seem to get the FPS past 15. In settings I have it set at 60 FPS but it is only capturing at 15 FPS. I'm using a Brio Logitech webcam. Any suggestions?

[LEO MODE]

Brio should only be 30fps. Capturing only 15fps that I do not know. I have a 100fps camera too but it doesn’t capture 100fps either.

[Stingreye]

I have a BRIO and have gotten 60 FPS in the old version of FSX and I have gotten 120 FPS in Kinova. EDITL I will post my settings later, I think you have to mess with exposure to up FPS in FSX.

[sherrow70]

Great thanks I will mess with settings
