FSX

[Maverick]

FSX's first course at 2015 PGA Show. Due out in March.

Looks similar to Red Chain's old engine.

[Bubba22]

I agree. Red Chain with a face lift.

[mthunt]

Wow. What a let down.

What are you talking about? The one hole on one course looked very nice in 4K. You would be bored pretty quick if you buy into the FSX way ahead.

[HWoods]

It's weird that all they can actually demo is a flyover? Why bother?

[Mxwoodman]

They have a lot to do to get 17 more flyovers by March - just doesn't make any since to me why they didn't show the course being played and they said it will be out in March. I guess March 2017

[Maverick]

In there video, there's a GC2 sitting there on the mat but its strange they didn't shot it in action. I'm sure Cory must have asked to do a video of that.

[Mxwoodman]

Hopefully Cory did get video of it in action and is just waiting on permission from FS to release it, I really don't see them not showing it in action being that there trying to release it in March

[SFR]

I wonder if that was really in 4K? The setup was the curved screen and they said there were 3 projectors needed to display on that screen. One 4K projector would be bad enough more less 3 just to display on the curved screen.

Also is there a video card that could display 4K with 3 screens or does that not matter?

I would have been so upset to have paid for it over a year ago and still not have a single course to play on.

[mayassa]

I'd be more upset If I just paid for it knowing I was just going to get one course for 2K ish, and maybe some more next year? at $100 a pop.

[Maverick]

I heard $150-125 per course or some kind of an annual fee. IMO, that's $150-125 too much for that kind of quality.

[mayassa]

Annual fee? I guess they need to pay for someone to run the forum and online league they don't have yet.

[Mxwoodman]

I think the annual fee is if you don't want to buy any courses and you get to play a different course each month I think they said it's going to be around $250. I don't get why $150 a course if you want to buy I think that is double the price of the old courses if you buy a course pack. I just don't get it the landscape is changing in the industry and they want to even charge more than what they do now. Guess they don't need the average sim buyer to buy their stuff and I don't think any stores, fitters and instructors are buying the sim courses the fitting software is all they need.

[Dax]

I was wondering if they were projecting a 4k image as well. Also I think GeForce mentions that a GTX 980 can support three screens in 4k. Can't remember for sure but I think was something they boasted about. The reason I questioned the three projectors was based on the cost to put this all together.
