GC2 and ProTee 2.0 with TGC -- current status

[mcspam@12345]

I just got this response from Swingsense about the purchase of the ProTee 2.0 and TGC sim software:

"When you purchase ProTee Golf 2.0 software online from the SwingSense website, you will receive download links for ProTee Golf 2.0. With your ProTee Golf 2.0 software purchase a full TGC Simulator license is included. You need to send an email to support@protee-united.com and
the helpdesk will send you all the TGC download instructions (TGC uses a separate download and registration process).

So to answer your questions: Yes, TGC sim software is included with ProTee Golf 2.0 software or any ProTee Base Pack purchase.

Also included with your online purchase is 1 remote support service call for max 1 hour (to be used within 14 days of your purchase). For example if you need help with the installation, we can logon to your computer and help with the configuration/installation."

There has been quite a bit of talk over the last couple weeks on this and other forums about new GC2 buyers now not being able to purchase and use the TGC software because Swingsense was now only offering TGC to people also purchasing the ProTee hardware or the hardware of other partners' hardware -- not Foresight hardware. This talk was apparently based on things that had been posted by them on this forum and others?

I didn't specifically ask Swingsense yet if the ProTee and TGC software was compatible with a GC2. I didn't tell them I was interested in using a GC2 with their software yet. I was afraid to do any of that for fear I was finding a "loophole" in their system at this point and didn't want to alert them to that.

Do I have to get the GSX software from Swingsense or can I get it from this forum? What is the advice of the other members on this? Do I tell them what I'm planning to do (using the GC2) so I can make sure everything will work now and in the future or do I quickly buy the software and download everything so I can get it before they close the "loophone" if that's what this is?

That is all you and other GC2 users need to know. Buy it while it's still available.

I purchased ProTee today and are downloading right now and await license key tomorrow. If GSX stands for "GolfSimExchange" then its included in the package. TGC seems to be seperate.

Impressa, Did you get the License key? Did everything work? I have a GC2 and am considering purchasing ProTee 2.0 as I am disappointed with FSX thus far.

Yes, ProTee and TGC, all installed and working. So far I did'nt have a chance to use it more the putting (ceiling). In Stockholm, the temperature and sun has been nice over the weekend, so I played on a real course.

Thanks to you guys for posting this. I want to pull the trigger on this combo, but my house won't be finished for another 6 weeks. Might just have to buy it without having a setup.

[mcspam@12345]

I have downloaded and installed both the ProTee 2.0 and TGC software. The licenses have also been emailed to me. I have not yet activated either software as I haven't bought my GC2 yet nor have I installed the additional RAM and video card in my computer. My next step is to buy the GC2 before something changes. Will continue to update.

Just an FYI for GC2 owners who have wondered whether you can still get the ProTee/TGC software. I bought the software on Monday, completed the downloads on Tuesday, received the license keys for both, and was fully up and running by Wednesday. Thanks to Zmax for his setup guide. I was up and running in about 15 minutes not including the download time of course. The setup guide probably save hours of experimentation.

Today is the day that I was going to press the order button on GC2 and Protee with TGC. Computer arrives this morning. Downside is that I'm also ordering the net / screen today and the room is 2 weeks from being complete also. When i read the support for Protee, it says any support has to be within 14 days of purchase, so now it is making me think about holding off on buying the software until the last minute and the room is done, GC2 in hand. The other thing that concerned me still is the swingsense website says "Software works with the ProTee Sensor System and high speed cameras."

If you follow Zmax's instructions step by step, you shouldn't need any support. It should only take 10mins from having ProTee / TGC installed to get it up and running with your GC2.

[mthunt]

My understanding is that support is included. I needed Protee to connect mine as Zmaxs instructions weren't posted yet. I bought mine and sat on it. Protee never said anything about two weeks

Can any one please send me the link to buy protee 2.0? I’d like to use my GC2A with this sim software. Please and thank you friends.
