[jasonreg]

FSX Play | Foresight Sports

FSX PLAY v1.10.0.10:

• Window Driver Swing Camera Support
  • Cameras Which Connect Through An API Or SDK (Image Source, Point Gray, Etc) Not Supported.
• Improved Distance Function In Practice Mode
• Selectable Mini-Map Screen Position
• Added Lie Penalty Refactor (Flier Chance Removed, Reduction Penalty Applied To Distance Instead Of Speed/Spin)
• QuadMAX Integration
• Selectable DLSS NVidia Video Card Performance Integration And Performance Improvements

I will personally be pretty upset if my $1000 worth of Imaging Source cameras/lenses "are not supported" ............. will be trying this out today.

Previously with FSX 2020 I used my Image Source camera for swing videos. With this update is it possible to use swing video camera without Swing Catalyst. Or does FSX Play still require Swing Catalyst software in order to record swings.

Yes, this update would allow you to use FSX Play with your Imaging Source cameras (note the update specifically says they are not supported - but they seem to work), without relying on Swing Catalyst. Jury is still out if I will keep SC but at the moment I think I will given it is a more robust/refined program for analysis but for many it may well not be required.

Thank you for your response. In camera tab in settings my imagingsource is identified when I "enable" camera. On the bottom of this screen there is a tab to "activate" which I do. However the camera is not activated and my identified camera is in a light font and there is no live video. In FSX Play when I use "analysis" there is also no video option. In order to make sure it is not a camera issue, the camera works well with FSX. My Imaginsource model is DFK 23G618. A bit frustrating as this was the camera recommended for FSX 2020.

I haven’t updated yet but I have swing catalyst and was wondering can you see your swing before recording or do you have to hit a shot and go to another menu for video? Can you split screen driving range and swing camera?

My Imaging Source model is DFK 23G618. A bit frustrating as this was the camera recommended for FSX 2020.

So, I am not as familiar with that model but if it worked previously, one would think you would be good now regardless of the disclaimer about not supporting Imaging Source cameras. I would go back to basics:

• Have you reloaded or updated the camera drivers (it looks like there were updated drivers for the GigE cameras in Dec 2023 - they may have automatically downloaded as part of FSX2020 but they may not be a part or FSX Play!)? I know my Imaging Source DFK 33UX273 cameras need drivers which do not download automatically with IC 2.5 or certainly not FSX Play: GenTL Producer for GigE Vision Cameras 1.0.0.554 (theimagingsource.com)
• Have you set up the cameras properly using IC Capture v2.5? It looks like those cameras are limited to 640×480 @120 FPS so this is how they need to be set up in the IC Capture software - make sure you are saving the configuration both as a separate file but also as the start-up configuration or your cameras will reset each time. IC Capture - Image Acquisition 2.5.1557.4007 (theimagingsource.com)
• Make sure once you have set up the cameras and saved the start-up config you close the IC software before you open FSX Play or you may get conflicts.

Post back with results and we can go from there.

Played a handful of rounds and so far everything seems stable. I’ve had three rounds not save properly to FSX Live which is very unusual but other than that seems OK.

I do have to adjust the mini-map position each time I log in though as swapping it to the left side and saving doesn’t seem to take even after applying.

Any way to turn off the 50% bunker penalty? I can live with it in the green side bunkers but for fairway bunkers, it's way too much.

[tkvaughn999]

I think its all or not. Lie pentlty off completely is your only choice. Which sucks because the 70% in greenside is about perfrct to be able to hit it like a real bunker shot. Fairway bunkers need to be 90% at most, its getting it over the lip that should be the challenge.

Some of the ideas are good, especially the end of round stats.
However it's almost unplayable
Trees flash on and off.
Game play is very slow, every ball flight is in slow motion
Occasional shot tracer that comes from 10 yards left or right
Needs a patch very quickly

[StanMI]

I've had NONE of these issues. Game play has been awesome, very playable and fun !!!!

It takes a little too long to see my crappy swing, but that's not a gaming issue.

I haven't experienced any of this either. I have approximately 12 hours of play time since the update, a mix of range and full rounds solo, with two players, and with five players. Not sure what GPU you're running but does there happen to be an update to that along with possible some Windows updates?

Same here. For me it's weird terrain flashing constantly. Playing Spanish Bay all the waste area (white'ish color) flashes on and off whenever anything moves

I can test Spanish Bay in the morning. I played 18 at Abu Dhabi which has a bunch of sand and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. What GPU are you guys running?

[jasonreg]

I have not had any of those issues either, including on Spanish Bay. It would be helpful to hear the specs of your PCs. FSX Play is notoriously hard on resources.

I just rolled back to the previous version, fortunately hadn't cleared my download file in a couple of months.
All working smoothly again.
Definitely needs a patch

You keep,saying it needs a patch when numerous people, I can include myself, don’t have the issues. So why not share your PC specs with the group as asked? Foresight can’t cater for folks that don’t have the right specs to run the game. Again it’s clearly not widespread so allow the group to help you figure out your issues?

Hi
I'm not too computer savvy, but I know my specs easily meet the requirements for FSX Play
Intel i7
NVIDIA 3070
Enough Ram to keep several sheep farms going.
I'm glad you don't have issues.
