Is anyone happy with their Full Swing Simulator?

[dwomble]

I would like to know what they tell you regarding the Obstacle Collision, I can assure you that it isn't addressed in the version that was auto-installed on my system earlier this month.

That makes me nervous about my ugprade. I've just written them again to ask about the obstacle collision issue, because I specifically asked them about that before (based on your review) and was told it was fixed. There's a newer version of E6 which they don't support (E6 Connect) -- although apparently they did support it at one point in beta testing. I really wish they'd allow access to E6 Connect as a fall-back if the new FSG software isn't up to par.

Brettster - not sure exactly how best to respond to your comment. I requested the roadmap from the FS director of sales, I don't believe it is online. He indicated that the altitude adjustment feature might be included in a roadmap item titled "Weather", but I personally doubt that.

[Brettster]

Good to hear dwomble - a refund for FSG software. Glad also to hear that 'developer dan' is working on Obstacle Collision? So, your mentioning a 'product roadmap' that FSG has, is that online somewhere and how would someone see it? Best of luck in seeing your FSG installation reaching your expectations.

90 grand. OMFG

Thanks MNW for your feedback. Previously FS told me that my version of E6 was the most current that they supported, I will confirm that again.

I can assure you the last version FSG that was installed on my system the first week of February (V v 1.1.1.8251) does not have Obstacle Collision logic. That "Feature" is on the product road map, currently assigned to a developer named Dan, and scheduled to be included in the FSG product by the end of the summer according to the current plans.

Altitude adjustment and the integration between FSG and Swing Catalyst are still not on the product roadmap.

To their credit, just yesterday FS's Director of Sales offered to refund my money for the FSG software.

I just ordered an upgrade to my FSG hardware and software. I've been running E6 1.6, which I think came out in 2014 or 2015. 1.6 was a significant improvement over 1.5, which I had since 2009. Not sure why they'd have you running on 1.5.

I pushed the sales rep about being able to hit the ball through rocks, walls and trees in the FSG software (based on your experience) and he assured me this has been taken care of in recent updates. True?

I was generally pleased with 1.6 previously (played on a FSG sim), although its graphics aren't up to 2021 standards.

Very, very nice! Thanks for sharing it!

Incredible taste and quality execution!

dwomble - my gosh, did they refund you ANY of the $90K??? Seems like you are providing them the exact information they need to update their software/fix it 'correctly' which should be worth a lot of money in the Sim Golf world. Once again, I'm sorry you had such a bad transaction with FSG, and I only hope that a representative from Full Swing Golf can post on this thread and tell us what they are doing to fix any of those issues.



And your studio is incredible! Are those replica lockers from Augusta, or something similar from that time period? Absolutely stunning.

I do wish you best of luck, but would re-iterate what others here are discussing that likely a Uneekor system would server you better, but GC2 is also an excellent choice for floor mounted system. Uneekor is an overhead camera system, there are others from Flightscope (GC Hawk), and from Optishot (Optishot Vision).

Good luck - keep us posted how you end up,

Thanks for the kind words. I built the lockers out of reclaimed white oak and tried to create the feel of an old course locker room. The backwall is also lined with lockers. The blue tape on the header is just marking where I am adding some medallions to that section.



The two lockers in the section left of the screen swing open as a unit to get to the bathroom.




Finally here is a view from the outside of the studio.

To be fair though, it’s just one persons experience.

It is just my experience and that is why I started this thread in the first place. I am genuinely curious to determine if there are others that are happy with their Full Swing system.

Full Swing support readily admits that all of the issues that I am describing are in fact known issues with their FSG product, so I am pretty sure I am not mischaracterizing the situation.

I suspect that most of the Full Swing installs are just running the old 2007 version of E6 and hoping that eventually FSG will become a usable simulator.

dwomble - I just read all this, it's an incredible story! I had no knowledge of fullswing (I don't think they sell in Germany) so I just had a look at their homepage. A perfect example of marketing lies obviously! Best system on market, most realistic software, awesome players using it (Tiger, Woodland, Rose...) and so on. I couldn't have imagined so much fake!

But your room ist absolutely fantastic!!

Thanks. Just to be clear, I have $90K in the Full Swing sim, but I have another $250K-$300K in the studio.

I agree with most here, replacing the current system with one of the overhead launch monitors, would be best. In this case for righty/lefty I would choose either the Uneekor EYEXO or the Foresight GCHawk. Just my 2¢ Canadian
