I'm not the best when it come to electronics and this stuff, but I think you should be able to leave your projector as #2 and have your monitor #1 and then when in window mode you should be able to drag the TGC window over to your projector if it's set up as extended display. This did not work with Red Chain software and would cause an error.

I went one step further with 2 monitors and the projector where the Projector is linked to the #1 monitor (main display) and the #2 monitor is an extended display. This way I can play the sim and watch it on #1 monitor and not need the projector on all the time for just practice. Then on #2 I can have team speak or the score keeping web page dragged over and easily see what is happening on those at the same time. In window mode you don't need to alt tab the TGC to get to the other monitors.

What about Mulligans? That would be a nice option incase someone hits out of turn or for my kids

[Maverick]

Mulligan is in the Pause menu after hitting ESC. It's called Shot Rewind.

yea figured that out earlier today thought it was to see the shot again lol.

THanks, Still trying to work out all the things.

One thing I would like to get rid of is the message box that keeps coming even though we the members are not sending them. Countless hole in ones that guys are saying they never got.

I don't like having messages sent with the idea that I sent them when in fact I did not and I am sure now, no one else does. Leave it there but disable it for us if we want.

Just my thoughts.

It seems that the map generation would explode if they allowed the import of mapped courses such as Google earth but, this is only in the investigation stage. A better idea maybe to use maps from a source such as Golflogix where they have accurately mapped out tree, bunkers etc... in computer format. This would make for rapid course development that is very close to the real thing, the only thing we would have to worry about is elevation and building placement. I would think this would be a high priority IMHO

[Maverick]

I believe they already looking into Google Earth or some kind satellite overlay.

Just figured that this would be the top priority over game play. Also think there are several easy work rounds but I know they have their hands full with other recs.

What is your experience thus far. They seem to be very responsive to consumer demands. We should expect newer versions/patches as they fine tune and get it to everyone's liking?

[Maverick]

Yes, HB is not like big EA. I like how these guys operate. Keep in mind that HB released this game to consoles around August. It's still very early but they have already put out a bunch of updates and patches. Update 1 was released last month. We have it. Update 2 will come out this month. The consoles is a big market and they are listening to those people. But we'll be giving them a list of features we want in addition to what they have planned for future updates. There are still a couple of minor issues to deal with first.

The biggest feature is the lobby. That is being requested by a lot of people. But for some reason, HB thinks a career mode is more important. Not much we can do about that. They are very responsive to ProTee's requests so far though. We'll see.

Btw, we started beta testing at TGC 1.1.

[Maverick]

New features being worked on by HB:

Allow users to sign in using their personal account instead of just using "Guest". (hopefully this will allow us to have friends over and all can play online together)
API for tournament data. (this might allow the tour site to automatically poll the data for auto scoring?)


Update 2 to be released late December.

Also with update 2 will come the multi plant tool for GNCD, would have saved me at least 4 hours on Pine Valley!

[Craig118]

Hey Z, will we get this with next update soon? http://thegolfclubgame.com/2014/12/1...e-2-submitted/
I need multi plant tool bad. Would be willing to negotiate all right side of green pin positions for Ryder cup... Ha.

[Maverick]

lol...You're on our team. You know what you must do...heheh


Hopefully we'll have in a few weeks. We will have to beta test it first before I can post it in the updates section.

[Cklguy2013]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this or not, but the features I would most like to see added would be as follows:

1. The addition of a practice range and a practice putting green.
2. The ability to aim in "Q Mode" ie left or right.
3. The ability to customize your club setting.
4. Realistic surrounding scenery, maybe through Google Earth or maps.
5. A worm cam for reading putts.

Those would be the items at the top of my current wish list.

[goatbarn]

Does this do anything for you guys/us?
