Well it is about time! I just saw this as well. Will update this afternoon and post back impressions.

Looks like three new courses as well: Snake Pit, Tall Pines and Tanah Merah. Don't have any of them personally.

I think tall pines is a free course in fsx2020. I have it but don’t remember “buying” it

Havnt played much to give a thorough test yet, but would like to know more about the Lie Penalty improvements. Only difference seems to be a meter now. I hit the ball purposely into different types of roughs and it only ever gives you a flier lie. Also changed all the different rough settings and no difference. Sand Penalties work.

[sinkingputts]

You just had to go and crush my hopes and dreams didn’t you. Well maybe they will fix that before Christmas.

[nfear24]

sinkingputts I know right. Im all about good lie penalties and not sure why they are not getting implemented correctly. They have the different types of rough so why cant the percentage change based on which one your in. Sounds too easy to set and not have correct yet.....

[tkvaughn999]

…so my hopes of having scramble game mode will have to wait? That’s the most fun with friends over. 😢

[siebo]

I agree about the scramble and the other game modes.

[tkvaughn999]

Finally got to try the update a little bit today. Seems like the graphics are a bit more "washed" out. I'll need to mess with my graphics card I suppose. I like being able to change the weather (clouds) and enjot the sand penalty becaus e you can actually swing away at bunker shots which makes it easier I think. I found no affect at all from the rough.

Updated to the new software and the roomconfig tool is nowhere to be found. its completely gone. cant change anything

It's easier to search for it.

This update screwed up my target line. It starts out fine, but after the first shot it moves right passed the centre of the hitting area. unhappy.
PS. I have the room config settings correctly entered.

Anyone experiencing lagging issues since the update? I have played 5 or so rounds with the new update without any issues. Then last night, experienced lagging issues during the 2 rounds i played. Any ideas on how to fix? NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER graphics card.

[tkvaughn999]

I have also experienced this, not sure if it depends on the course. Also had it crash couple times since update. Hopefully these things will get worked out soon. Had none of this before. Have GTX 3060 TI so its not lack of vid card for me.

[chollier986]

Spent about an hour on the phone with Foresight tech support. They changed several settings on my graphics card. Will report back if that was the fix. Very impressed with the customer service. They also downloaded the latest update for FSX 2020 that dropped this week. Has got me thinking… sure would be nice if they just added the gimmie circle to 2020. Doubt I would even fire up Play until it was a finished product if that was the case.

I do love how they report a "keyboard shortcut window" in the list of changes to this update, but for the life of me I can't find it. It isn't in the documentation anywhere I can see.

I also now have a permanent "administrator" badge over the desktop icon, and it prompts me with the "allow program to make changes to your computer?" dialogue every time I run it, too.

If anyone has any insight as to these issues, I'm all ears.

[siebo]

Press K on the keyboard and the shortcut screen will pop up

[DirkDigglr]

I have the same prompt “allow this program to make changes” every time I run it. Anyone know how to fix?

[StanMI]

I get the same thing. There is a thread here that says how to correct it but it didn't work for me.

Posted here for any additional information.

[Baller]

Right click the shortcut, click properties, go to the Compatibility Tab, UNCHECK "Run this program as administrator" but there might be a reason for it, ie, it might work better leaving it alone.
