    GCQuad with TGC up and running

    I listed the steps I took to get this thing going. I just got done playing a round at a famous course down South where a big tourney was supposed to be held this weekend.

    Step 1: Buy this: https://golfsimulatorstore.com/colle...13246583636067 - this part is a pain because you need to install protee and TGC and wait for all your licenses to come via email.

    Step 2: Configure protee as instructed in other posts. Basically - you need to just change 1 setting to configure it to external data

    Step 3: Install GQSX.com - pm me if you need this

    Step 4: Connect the Quad to the computer via wifi

    Step 5: Connect to internet either via ethernet cable or another wifi card and bridge connections - this allows to connect to internet and qcquad at the same time

    Step 6: Launch Protee then GQSX (click on connect) then start TGC

    It should now work. No needing all that other stuff like you do for the GC2.

      hmmm...i guess the question is when did they upgrade to 3.x? If more than a week ago, then it may be the combination of the fw upgrade and the Windows patch.

      For me- TGC 2019 worked with 3.x. Not 100% sure if it ever worked after Windows patch.

    PROGRESS...

    So, I launched GSQX and the Protee interface and left them running. I then launched FSX. The outcome was that the FSX could not stay connected to the wifi, but the Protee interface was now registering my shots.

      Fix is to run FSX in background. TGC now working for me with no issues.

      If you do a Windows restore time undo the latest The Golf Club. It fixes the problem.

        I tried this as well but running FSX in background did not allow Protee to see the data nor let the GSQX app connect.

          I play TGC 2019 on my GCQ every night. I upgraded to club data on the quad today and it forced a firmware update. GCQ immediately stopped working with TGC 2019 after firmware update.

          Workaround is to have FSX 2020 running at same time as TGC 2019, ProTee and connector application. Has worked fine since.

          I completely believe the issue is related to firmware upgrade on the GCQ.

          I have tested running both FSX 2020 and TGC 2019 at the same time and have had success with TGC 2019 after it stopped working. Played several rounds, rebooted - played several more.

          i don’t believe it to be a Windows issue.

            From what I'm hearing, you're right. People are up and running with FSX. If it did not work for someone it may be the order. Run ProTee and QSXQ then start FSX. Seems to be working. Obviously FS didn't like the GSXQ

              Hi, I can confirm I got this working following this method (that run order - ProTee, GSQX, FSX, TGC 2019). So I guess the Firmware has introduced needing FSX to be running (even if it's not connected?!). Hey ho!
          • #114
            oh man. those poor guys that sold their FSX software.

              Yes, what I have found is that I start FSX, once that is loaded in, I start GSXQ, Pro Tee and TGC 2019 (in that order). FSX won't register the shots, but TGC 2019 will. If you stop GSXQ, Pro Tee and TGC 2019 - FSX will begin picking up the shots.

              I was so pissed when this stopped working I considered returning it to Costco. Glad its working again now.

                Did you buy your GCQ at Costco? I didn't know they sold them and would be a great way to get a 2% back on their top membership

              Yes, I bought my Sim-In-A-Box from Foresight through Costco.

              I know US Costco’s have it for $20k but heard a few weeks ago, they were on sale for $17k. Really good deal.

                yep bought mine for 17k and it ships direct from foresight. NO club data but you can add it for 4k. i heard next costco sale might not be until xmas time

                and you get 2% back on the costco credit card plus 2% back on the membership. shipping is free but you do have to pay tax

                  This is pretty interesting. So by starting ProTee and GSQX first, GSQX must be getting a lock on the data stream. Foresight must have changed something in their firmware to make sure that at least FSX is running before the QCQ will actually send data to the stream. If that is the case -> big if, I am hypothesizing, THEN

                  I would strongly recommend that folks don’t upgrade / patch FSX. If I were Foresight, I would patch FSX to shut down automatically if FSX couldn’t get a resource lock on that stream.

                  Now maybe they don’t give a rip as long as someone has purchased the FSX license.

                  In summary, it almost sounds like Foresight is using FSX as a “software dongle” that is required to be running or the GCQ won’t send the data to the output stream.

                    Makes sense and reinforces why FS are now making you buy FSX with the Quad.

                    But...what about the fitting app? It relies on the wifi stream too, unless you connect via BT.

                  That's actually relatively easy (an exaggeration but it's meant to say, it's doable) to overcome to someone who can get the hands on the GSQX code. Since this is not a firmware lock at the hardware level or encrypting of the data that's happening, GSQX can spoof the connection and pretend to be FSX. Someone knowledgeable on inspecting the WiFi packets can mirror what FSX is doing for the handshake between GCQ and FSX. I would need the code to begin looking at this though =\
