GC2 GSX & ProTee Inteface Setup for TGC and ProTee 2.0

[Sting Ray]

Having trouble with step 4. Not seeing where I can see the Bluetooth serial ports. I tried through device manager as well and not seeing that? Also I don’t have a Bluetooth dongle yet, was trying to get it to work with the built in blue tooth on my laptop? Also I input my license number into the protee golf interface, I read somewhere that said I also needed to do it with gsx? Is that true? If so where?

Your shot recording will work fine. It just won't show the settings in the interface but there are no settings in the interface so it's moot.

Do I have to do anything special to get the USB interface to work with shot recording? I’m making the switch from SkyTrak, and while I have shots registering in TGC, they aren’t being recorded. I didn’t change any settings in the text file.

I’ve seen posts referencing configuring a tolerance range for putts using GSX. Does the USB interface have an equivalent setting?

Got it to connect finally today after messing around with it all day. My knee is sore so I took a day off swinging. I had to open up com 3 in order for the GC2 to even been seen by my bluetooth dongle. I just uninstalled all the bluetooth crap and then disabled my internal bluetooth. Opened up com and finally got the gc2 to be seen by my bluetooth. It would pair but wouldn't connect, wouldn't show me foresight under incoming com3 port and I had to add the com4 port.

So my unit is less than 5' away from my computer. No way it could be too far away. Just to try I moved the gc2 literally next to the computer. Unpaired it and re tried. it connected right away, had both com ports showing up as they should be. Went into fsx and it connected. Moved the gc2 back to the original location, tried to connect and it wouldn't. So yes, proximity to your unit is big I would say. Ordering a extension cable for the dongle but at least after messing around with bluetooth for like 30 hours I got it to connect. All for that 5% driver boost lmfao! Anyways if someone else has this problem it was this thread that lead me down the right path. https://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum...t-disconnected

After waiting for my key and making numerous dumb mistakes including not having enough space on my hard drive for tgc, freaking out cause the download kept failing, then my gc2 dying when I was trying to connect and I didn't realize it for 20 minutes. Also didn't realize you need to check your using tgc in the pro tee interface. 3 hours today finally after I got my key but I got it working and I'm pretty pleased overall. My carry distances are within a few yards on most shots which is what I was worried about.

Any idea why the gc2 will display numbers then it stopped doing it. I went into foresight to test out some shots then back to tgc and my numbers were no longer showing up on my gc2 not sure how to change that setting?

The numbers should be there as long as FSX isn’t running.

The interface does not allow you to adjust carry. Sorry.

Finally purchased TGC and wouldn't have if you didn't create this interface. Thanks a lot. I'm just wondering I'm seeing the adjustments people with GC2's are making with the GSX interface I'm assuming you worked that into your version somehow? Any adjustments needed in TGC on your setup to get the carry distances to match? My GC2 carry is so spot on to real life it's kinda crazy so I'd like to get TGC to match that as closely as possible. Thanks for the info.

If the phone can connect then it has to be the Bluetooth dongle. I have another interface if you want to connect using USB.

Use this instead of GSX.

Hey Guys. I'm not sure if this is the correct spot to post this, but I'm having trouble playing TGC2019 with my GC2. It's been over a year since I played it. I'm able to connect my GC2 to GSX and all of the shot stats show up in it as well as in the Protee Interface, but when I go to TGC2019 and try to hit a shot nothing happens in the game. It worked about a year ago, but my kids could have changed a setting as they were trying to get it going the other day. I'm hoping that it's a simple setting, but I can't finding any settings in TGC2019 that look like they need to be changed. Any thoughts or ideas? I'm stumped.

Great alternative to GSX.
Thanks for making it.

[mthunt]

Correct. It is a GSX alternative. You can run FSX at the same time. One Bluetooth and the other USB.

[Jay28]

Thank you for this.
I could not get GSX to connect, but your interface worked using both usb and Bluetooth.
Am I right in thinking that I simply don't need GSX at all if using your interface?
Doesn't seem to be needed as everything is working.

One other thing - is it possible to run FSX Pro and TGC2019 at the same time? Of course, I can just try, but don't want to risk corrupting anything.

This works. I used it yesterday. If your Bluetooth works on the GC2 the issue most likely the dongle or possibly the pc. Try another USB port. Also wait for it to show up.

If the USB doesn’t work it’s the cable. 100%. Plug it in and click connect to test. If the light turns green it works.

[midpoint221]

Is this how you connect via usb? It’s funny on my deep dive searching for some help I came across your YouTube. Is there a way to test this make sure it works before I commit to purchasing tgc?

I may try another dongle but I don’t think that’s it because it’s picking up TVs at the complete opposite end of the house up stairs that my normal Bluetooth didn’t see. If I can just use your usb interface I don’t really care much about the Bluetooth itself I just thought it was needed in order to play any other software. Thanks a lot for your help.

My windows 10 pc won't see the GC2. I've been trying everything I can find online to remedy it, updated drivers, unistalled and reinstalled drivers. I have the BT dongle it picks up everything. I know my GC2 is putting out bluetooth my phone can pick it up I'm completely lost on what to do. I've disabled my other bluetooth adapter, followed all threads I can find. Really want to pick up TGC eventually. Any ideas?
