FR1 and GC2 gameplay Issue

[blitzd13]

A newbee to the forum and looking for some help. Just picked up a used GC2A and FR1 software on ebay.
I am having a problem with FR1 recognizing when I hit the ball and showing the correct ball flight while connected to usb(cant get Bluetooth to work on the laptop). I hit a driver and it says I go 5 feet which is not correct and does not show a trail or ball flight. The ball data given shows I went 5 feet. If I let it sit to long it appears to be caught in a loop and just starts acting like I hit a ball. I have tried all different length usb cords and that was not a fix.

When I unplug the usb the gc2 unit shows the regular swing number(albeit short 1-2 clubs less a driver, but it does recognize the swing). I have installed uninstalled FR1 and Driver various times as administrator, and this does not solve the problem.

I am using windows 10 64 bit for the MSI Laptop. Has plenty of power(core i7 2.5ghz16 gigs of ram). I Upgraded the GC2 firmware to 4.0.0.15 and tried to install the updated driver. A point to mention the date on the driver only shows as Foresight Sports(WUDFRd)Sample (02/15/2010 6.0.6001.16549) I would think the date would be more recent but not sure. Looking for some guidance on how to trouble shoot this. Any help is appreciated and if you need more information let me know.

Thanks

What version of FR1 do you have? The latest is 1.3 something.. I had some similar issues with the USB connection until I installed the latest FR1 version

Looks like in the foresight folder it says ForesightSetup v1_234.

You need to get a copy of the foresight components 1.3 update, it contains some fixes for win10, it might be on the foresight website if your lucky

Someone was kind enough to PM me and offer the 1.3, Sim setup tool, and calibration tool. I ran all three and it works via USB. Certainly better distance yardage than what I was before. A little more slice than I'm used to, could be me, its working so good!!. Only issue I have now, is I can connect via Bluetooth to my tablet(android app not all that great), but it wont find the GC2 on my laptop. I tried to download the newest driver from foresight when I installed, it showed up like this(

Sample (02/15/2010 6.0.6001.16549). Same look when I installed the older version from foresight. Any suggestions?

Just to follow up on my solution. I''ll give a quick run down on the solutions. I updated FR1 to 1.3, ran the Sim setup tool using the default settings, and ran the calibration tool. All three of these got me up and running. Then just updated the driver on my Laptop and away we went.

I recently purchased a used GC2/FR1 setup and have been having a similar issue to the original post when I am chipping/putting. It will register a shot whenever I initially place the ball, or even slightly move it. I am also running on windows 10 and am looking for the 1.3 version installer to see if that helps the problem.

If anyone has it and is willing to send it please PM me.

Thanks.

Not to revive an older post but I would love the v1.3 software as well. Happy to pass it on in future as wel. Please PM me. Thank you!

PM sent with link for 1.3

Hi, I need the 1.3 and other tools too.. please pm! thanks

[Bapten]

Hey Snaphook + thewral could you please send me the link to FR1 v1.3? Thank you!

It looks like I'm not the only one with this problem then. I found a download link but it looks like foresight removed it.

any chance someone would be kind enough to PM me version 1.3?

This may be my last effort before switching to fsx.

Can you send me a link as well? I just upgraded to a new laptop with windows 10 and I am having some issues now. Thanks

I spent the whole evening with troubleshooting FR1 with Win 10, I have Version 1.24 of FR1, which I bought yesterday together with an used GC2 and I am totally disappointed :-( Can anyone provide me with 1.30 also, would be very nice, because nothing is working properly. Thanks in advance.
