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.

When I updated my graphics became distorted. It is like they are stretched out. Anybody have this issue and know how to resolve this?

I just tried the skill challenge on mine and it auto advances after 3 seconds. I know I enabled this in the earlier version so it must have carried over. I couldn't find a setting for it anywhere. There is probably a settings file that could be edited manually if you contact support. I does need to added back in the GUI though.

Yes i think you are right. I found the log file where it says: autoCloseStationMsg = 0
If i only knew where to set it to 1 in the program i think it would work. Will contact support on this.
Do you know in which version it was an option? ( i have versions from 5.0.1.2)Last edited by Snaphook; 09-19-2018, 08:43 PM.

The club data in FSX 2018 I thought the club path was showing data from the take away. I now realize it is the path coming into the ball on the downswing. Do we have an option to show data as the club moves away from the ball?

Yeah, as far I have ever seen, the only option is a camera. That’s what I use. I struggle sometimes with taking the club too much to the inside so I do pay attention to this.
Not sure if you’re asking for ideas or not, but things that work for me are:
1) Putting an alignment stick down in the ball line behingpd the ball and following it on the way back, pointing to it as long as possible.
2) Really trying o take away on the outside (pretty much impossible for me to do).
For a camera angle, place the cam on your toe line. The club at 1/4 back should point directly to the camera.
Hope this helps!

Yes, they are still there but how you get to them is a little screwy. You have to select the course and a hole under improve and load it. Once in you can select Hole and the Range, Chipping and Putting will be listed under the holes. This varies with courses though, some have them some don't.

I have tried to read this whole thread and I have questions.
I am running GC2 with HMT right now, and FSX. I currently run a computer with monitor and 55" LCD TV. I have a Carl's 4:3 13' x 10', 5 foot deep impact cage on the way. I also have an Optoma GT1080 Darbee projector.
If I update to FSX 2018 will I be able to use my three monitors? I think I would like the projector and computer monitor to be the sim screen so I can aim with the computer monitor and the 55" TV to be the club screen. Is that possible?
Is having a 4:3 ratio screen a problem?
Thanks
