FSX Play - Bug Tracking Thread

[pma99car]

Hi All,,

Please use this thread to track all known bugs and issues. Please try to give as much detail as possible.

First few I’ve noticed:

Paris Range

- Ball flight not reflecting LM numbers. Eg LM says 175 carry. FSX play shows ball landing circa 165, rolling out to 174. Figures on FSX play screen say 175 carry, 174 total (i.e. so ball should be spinning back, but its clearly rolling out 10 yards or so)

- Descent angles in the analysis table are totally wrong on screen. Regularly getting 0 degrees, or 358.5 degrees.


On course

- Number of short chips stopping dead on first bounce, where first bounce is short of green, on fringe or even on the green

preludesam: thank you for your suggestions. In my previous post I stated the screen went black. This is incorrect. When the projector shuts off for seconds there is no image on screen. I just see the screen. Unsure if this information would change your suggestions. Even today on driving range for FSX2020 I will lose image for seconds.

Hmm... this may sound weird but I wonder if the PC is going to sleep momentarily? Try adjusting the sleep/power options in Windows and set it to never go to sleep and never shut off the display.

The way you describe the problem, it sounds like an issue I have. I have a 1080ti and five displays running. A 1080ti can only handle four displays but I am using the fifth off of the onboard GPU on the 9900K. There is a bug with Windows and my 1080ti where the driver crashes randomly on the 9900K and all the screens go blank for 1-2 seconds and then the driver recovers. Are any of your other displays kicking off as well?

I don’t see any other complaints about this so wonder if it’s just me. No matter how much i adjust the color sliders the picture contrast, brightness and saturation the color never comes close to natural. It’s super dark the titles screen is so dark i can barely see the course tiles. No matter which course i choose the only way to get closer to natural it to have brightness on full and saturation and contrast all the way to the left.

Are you playing your round at dawn/dusk?
we messed with time settings for one of the courses and the shadows cast on the course made it seem like a night round; couldn’t see green/fairways or even the map view to know where we were aiming. Messing with the sliders had little effect.
once we changed the time to noon, the shadows weren’t cast and we could see the greens and fairways, map normally.
assumed since the noon setting has the sun directly overhead and limits the amount of shadows cast on the course…..

[sinkingputts]

I believe it was high noon because I was thinking that was the problem. I'll add some screen shots when I can home

[sinkingputts]

I turned on fsx play tonight and all the color issues were completely gone. Still need to keep the setting at full brightness but at least the color at accurate

Funny Im reading all the posts about the new software and it sounds like a lot of stories of how people are realizing how good FSX 2020 was in comparison. You know what would blow the two party industry up? I mean between Trackman and Foresight. Whichever comes up with a smooth way to find a online match. In home console gaming was nothing until Xbox started game chat and online multiplayer. When one of these two companies allows online server matches they will crush the competition.

[Brettster]

I have to agree... but I would include TGC2019 and ProTee in the mix too... and they already have online matches... I would like it if there were some standard protocol developed so you could play anyone with any LM, on any software by contacting a central 'Golf Match' server - now that is the company that would do well. Just create, or start working on the protocol for how the matches are setup, and allow linking between all the different LMs and systems (letting them match the exact same course), and ask the major competitors to put their egos away and join in - WOW!

[CountRushmore]

One annoying issue is you are in practice/range mode and hit the next ball before it has reset to the starting point it bits the ball from your previous landing spot.

[Mess]

Auto putt is broken. I might hope that I’d be making literally every 20 footer ive left myself, but that’s not all realistic. Said I shot like a 66 at Torrey. Hahahah.

[p3eps]

Don’t know if it’s just me, but I was doing practice last night on a hole rather than the range.
There is a button to let you choose where you’re hitting from - and then a slider to choose 50 / 100 / 150 yards etc.
It has a circle round the ball and says something like ‘click on screen to place the ball”.

No matter where I clicked, I couldn’t move the ball to another location! I tried clicking on the map too - but that just changed my aim rather than placing the ball.

Despite this being an expensive BETA, and Foresight being sent a list of bugs, I don’t see them in any hurry to release a V1.02 version! It’s now been 4 weeks since the release.

I just got everything going today and I’m seriously impressed with the looks. Probably a dumb question but are mulligans no longer an option? How do you change the flag distance on the driving range? Last dumb question, I have a setup where I’m hitting from toward the right side of my screen. It’s starting me lined up in the center and quickly panning over to the right when I hit. Any recommendations on fudging the numbers on the room configuration tool to get this on the proper starting line?

[Trubico]

Just joined the forum, did you figure this out? I had the same roomconfig issue and fixed it. I know I’m 8 months late but figured I’d check

[jasonreg]

...... are mulligans no longer an option?

They are but you need to allow the option before you start the round in 'setup' and 'advanced'. It will then add a mulligan tile to the tiles at the top right. There is no way to activate the mulligans once you are in the round and frustratingly, the software resets your selections to their default every time you start a round ...... so far anyway. Also no keyboard shortcut so far as I can tell.

How do you change the flag distance on the driving range?

Players may drop the golf ball anywhere on the golf course or driving range by hovering the mouse over the Mini Map and right-clicking.

No idea regarding your 3rd question - I have a center hitting position so I have been spared this issue.

[jasonreg]

Note: Mulligans are now enabled by default with latest software change.

[Graydawg]

I’m having the same sort of issue as Subparwelder. I have a center hitting position, but the “Target Line” is pointing about 15-20% to the right of where it soould be, so any shots go directly into the left rough. (Everything is still fine in FSX 2020).FSX Play is also reading 200 rpm on full wedge shots. Probably some other stuff as well, to difficult to even get to the first green to check for other bugs.

[MongoOnlyPawn]

Looks like FSX 2020 & FSX Play have both been updated. The room config tool is supposedly addressed in the Play update: https://www.foresightsports.com/supp...tware/fsx-play

Link for FSX 2020: https://www.foresightsports.com/supp...tware/fsx-2020

[Graydawg]

I did the update and it fixed the spin numbers, but still have the alignment problem.

[tkvaughn999]

What are your values in Room Config? Can you post pic?

[Graydawg]

I tried different settings in the configuration tool, even set everything to “0” but DY to 1”, and it had no effect in either FSX Play of FSX 2020. I know i’ve used it in the past to shift my target line left or right, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything right at the moment for my setup.
I put FSX Play in window mode instead of full screen and moved the window to the left side of my projector screen and it’s playable, ugly, but playable.

[Subparwelder]

This thing has to wind up with a skins mode.
