FSX Play 1.11.0.17
I may be late to the party here because I just downloaded this new version of Play today, which apparently has been out for 6 weeks or so, but I haven't seen much chatter here about it.
First time I have ever played 18 holes on Play and not had a complaint about a glitch or poor feature!
In particular, Lie Penalty seems to be completely fixed! You can adjust at the start of the round how severe you want the rough to be, then (miracles!) a note at the bottom of the mini-map tells you what the effect is going to be on your next shot (e.g., light rough, -5% ball speed). Fairway bunkers were -10% ball speed, greenside -30%, which is fine. (In my previous round they were taking about 75% off carry distance - unplayable as has been discussed here.) I did not check whether the difficulty setting affects bunkers as well as rough. This is the first time Play has been better than FSX2020 in this regard.
I even had the sound working, birds chirping, the whole 9 yards.
Am I alone in seeing this massive improvement? We are a pissy bunch on Foresight but should give credit when due. Hooray!
