Playing FSX 2020 with GCQuad

[a98cr125]

I have only been able to play FSX 2020 for a few days now but I am enjoying it. Ball characteristics feel accurate and the live weather option I think is nice. I only currently have the 5 courses but I think I will look at getting more. Any favorites out there that are must haves?

[SimGolf84]

Here is the list of courses I play on a regular basis and how I'd label them:

My overall favorite: Oakmont
Toughest: Quail Hollow
Shot shaping: Colonial
Courses you don't need driver: Linfield National, Illini CC
Prettiest: Pebble Beach and Teton Pines
Links: St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Royal Lytham
Too many trees: Akron,Cog Hill, Congressional

No kidding! I am a little surprised to see Oakmont is your favorite. E6 released that to everyone during technical issues and most thought it was a little boring and very back and forth. Thank you for sharing the list. I have not played Teton Pines yet which I have. I think Pebble Will be a must. I do like it on E6 and TGC. Thanks again.

E6 will be available August 1

I think E6 Connect actually slated for July 17th. I like E6 Connect and have played it for a long time now. But, I also love a variety and FSX is for sure unique so I would like to build a library for sure. It plays very true. I need to play a lot more though I only have a few rounds in so far.

Is there “Zoom” function in Fx2020 as in TGC2019?

[a98cr125]

I was actually looking for the same thing. Flyover is easy to use and it moves along fast. I only have a few rounds in and will be sure to cover more and make sure to touch on more details as I do. Thanks

Quick question, as I don't see it... does the Live Weather option also account for humidity? It appears it does not, and that would make a big difference such as Bryson playing in Detroit this weekend (Rocket Mortgage), as I live not far from Detroit and know that Humidity was through the roof over the weekend, which would make the ball travel much farther - not sure exactly how much, but I would bet 10%-20% minimum in distance, would take a 300+ yard drive to 330-360 yards with humidity at 85%-90%, see what I mean?

If that is not included now in Live Weather with FSX 2020, and since you are a dealer a98cr125 what does Foresight say about this being included in ball flight calculations in future releases?

Thanks in advance...

[a98cr125]

To my understanding it does. That is a great question though and I will verify. To be clear though, I am not a dealer. I do not get paid by any manufactures even though many think I directly sell and do get paid, all I do is help provide information and refer anyone to connections I have that I know will take the best care of them. Some, not all, do give me a small referral kickback.

So I did talk to a rep there today and he confirmed that humidity is not currently being factored in. This may be a cool enhancement they could consider in the future.

[Andrew Grant]

E6 August 1. The July 17 date if for early adopters. This is from the VP of foresight sports Jon Watters in San Diego.

[soupy]

you still have to own FSX from what I am told and E6 will be $2500

[Andrew Grant]

That's my understanding too. But I think it includes 25 courses.

$2500 for 25 courses is in the same ballpark of what you end up paying for FSX courses. But I would need to be convinced that they will work seamlessly with FSX/Quad and that they are significantly better than current (3.0 version) FSX courses, which I think are very good.
