Foresight Premier

[Shankz]

Got an email today at about 2pm from Foresight that this is the last day you can buy a unit with a perpetual license. Starting tomorrow, anything purchased from Foresight will come with the new premier software. There are three different Subscriptions. The first one is free. The second is the silver package which is $199. The third one is gold and that is $599. I am not sure subscription level you need to be at to be able to use the mobile app.Access to courses is not included in the silver or gold subscription. There are two different options for the courses. The first one is called course pass. It is $295 for the year and includes 35 courses. The second one is called course pass pro and it costs $595 a year and will give you access to 111 courses.I will add pictures of the different packages and also the email I received from Foresight. I will also post links to the premier site another Reddit user supplied in an older post. So far, I have not received any information about a discounted price for existing perpetual license holders. There is no information that I can find about unit pricing. If anybody’s heard any Other information, please share it here.

New Foresight Premier software looks very good but if it is subscription basedand the courses I have spent thousands on over the years is not taken into effect with pricing then I won’t be upgrading to it no matter how good it is.

Foresight posted FAQ information for existing customers and loyalty deals. A lot to unpack but sure seems like more money for new features (Course Pass).

Foresight can eat my shorts with their over priced subscriptions and hardware. Time to start shopping else where. There are several up and coming choices. Foreskin is not the only game in town. You would have to be crazy, in my opinion, to pay 7k for a gc3, 16k for a quad, or 20k for a quadmax and then shell out more money to use them. You are going to have to pay them 600.00 just to be able to use someone else’s (GSpro) software.

I’m very disappointed in the new pricing model. I agree with you, might be time to start looking at other products. Not much of a deal for legacy customers.

OK, I took the plunge, signed up for the trial and 50% existing user discount in the hope that it would be OK.

Played 2 rounds and found that It isn't ready.
It's another half-assed attempt at golf simulation, still full of bugs, incomplete in terms of gameplay options.

Remember, even at half price for 2 years, this is more than GS Pro.
I won't be proceeding past the end of the trial month.

In fact at present I feel like giving up and changing platforms.
I thought I was investing in the bast option I could afford, but they have no interest in home users at all.

Wish Rapsodo would get on with launching the CLM.
At the moment thinking Square Omni and keeping an eye on upcoming software like InfiniTees and PurePlay.

Bit of a downer really.

The experience you describe is not surprising in the least. They never finished 2020 or play and or fixed the bugs that have been around since it’s inception. I don’t play much if any sim golf so this current state of total ****ery does not directly affect me yet but it pisses me off to no end anyway. Foresight is sticking it to its customers plain and simple. I have no intention of renting the latest version of shit they are peddling and I damn well won’t be spending another nickel on hardware from them either.

I agree with much of what is being said. I still only have FSX 2020. I (fortunately) never bought Play. I did, however, buy many courses a few years ago (probably $1,500.00 worth). I love my GC Quad. It is the best camera-based unit you can buy. I just wish they would find something and stick to it (software). I understand why they are going the way of a subscription. They need a revenue stream to keep growing and developing their business. It just does not seem like they think things through.

does anyone know if the gc2 can use this software? its had its "end of life" notes for awhile now and the formal faq doenst' include the gc2 as compatible but it also doesnt' say it ISN"T compatible. anyone contact them yet or try it?

Hi everyone

This is typical foresight, but they must be feeling the heat from all the home user launch monitors like skytrak, rapsodo, golfjoy and now square.

I think foresight wants to focus on the commercial and tour side of the business.

The only other way this subscription model works is if they are about to drastically reduce the sales price of their hardware.

If you can buy a gc3 for 2k then people might be happy to pay the $600 subs and sub subs annually.

I don't think they can improve the hardware much.

We'll see what happens.

Thank goodness for square golf omni.
