FSX PLAY - Unplayable Lie

[Gmanr6p]

I have hit some balls in some bushes that no matter which direction you hit, you can't hit it out. I don't see an option for an "unplayable lie penalty drop" in FSX Play. Is there one? Customer support responded to my inquiry as to make sure you have mullligans set in your setup. When playing someone else match play - a mullligan is not an option. Anyone else have this problem?

Mulligans seem to be a issue in FSX Play if there are multiple players, if there is an obvious misread and you take a mulligan, your player name changes to one of the other players!

There are also problems on a couple of courses if you fall off a cliff edge.
Big Sur is a good example of this, you fall down the cliff, it only lets you drop at the bottom of the cliff but the slopes are so extreme that the software freezes as it can't seem to calculate the parameters!

The faults are slowly getting worked through and the last update was significantly better.
There should be an option to take an unplayable added in though, itwould improve things a lot.

Take a look at all your options again. If you’re FSX Play is fully updated there should be an option for an unplayable. It was added a few versions ago.

This is a known bug confirmed by support as well as on their roadmap to be fixed.

Theres a handful of bugs related to player names but the biggest is the mulligan/drop/re-hit where it will duplicate the player and remove another. There are also issues adding new players to favorites lists as well as player names being duplicated if you start to add multiple before a round. It seems to be hit or miss but many bugs have been replicated by many forum members as well as Foresight Support and their tech team.

I ended up backing up a few versions and settling on 1.8.4.2 which seems to have the fewest amount of bugs for me. It’s unfortunate that we seem to be doing beta testing for Foresight with live versions of FSX Play.

There is a "ball relief" option that when you turn it on you can take a drop or unplayable for a stroke penalty. I have used it much but its availible to turn on under advanced settings. There is then a icon "drop" to see what options you have from a bad situation. That said mulligams are very confusing in matchplay and need fixed.

In using the "drop" icon. I clicked on "free drop" and got the ability to use the arrow keys on computer to move sideways to a better drop area and it does cost a stroke (as it should be).

We also tried using the ball find (in settings) but when you go to settings and select it it will not show up until next player so you either have to leave the launch monitor image following all your shots or know the next guy up is in the weeds & turn it on before he is up.
