Simulator Graphics comparison / 4K / HD

[Freshfranky]

Hia all

Iˋm a Swiss Guy with a HCP 12, building a House at the moment. This house has a Gold Simulator room, 4.5x10x3m. I‘m currently in the selection phase of the equipment and thinking about to buy all beginning 2020. The screen size should be something like 4.5x3m, slightly curved.

I want the most realistic experience in terms of data accuracy & picture and the ability to putt. At the moment I‘m thinking about the GC Hawk with the FSX2018 or the Trackman with their own software as well. All I‘ve seen so far in terms of Graphics is pretty disappointing. One thing is the resolution (HD vs. 4K), the other thing is the graphics. Just this week I saw the YG QED, with comparable great graphics. Anyhow, I don't really like this asiatic and very childish comments. see here:

what I saw here is amazing, but no clue what it is:

Do you guys have experience and can suggest me any simulator software?

cheers, Stefan

TGC 2019 Graphics wise is probably the best. I don't think those courses have been realized yet for that system from that YouTube video. That is a brand new product in the western world anyways and maybe forum member Gene Smith here who has that product can assist you with commenting but I've never seen him post videos of Courses from that system. He took has that technology for that system and currently it is married to the golf club 2019.

The only place I've seen a curved screen is at GSA Golf and the most expensive version of Trugolf.

For absolute accuracy for simulation you probably are going to want foresight product like the gcquad and you have no choice but to use their software fx2018 . The graphics are not as good and the courses are not even as close to the number of the other software products.

Full swing and some other high-cost simulator companies should be as accurate.

AboutGolf does curved screens as well. Extremely accurate but in the top tier for price.

Thank you both. Thats an amazing feedback. What about trackman and something like the E6 software, or the trackman software, which I think is JNPG acquired my trackman. How are the graphics and accuracy in comparison to the GC Quad with the FSX2018?

I understand your comments and I will try to add some thoughts. I am not familiar with GC Hawk so I cannot comment on it, other than to say in my opinion, the decision to not have bluetooth and to not integrate with 3rd party software seems foolish to me for such a high $$ product. I do have the Uneekor QED and one thing I do like about it is that as of today, I have used it to play TGC2019, E6 Connect, JNPG, and the Uneekor software. The QED will integrate with all the major software products that are discussed here.

As to which is the best, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like practicing on the Uneekor, I like playing online on TGC2019. I am just now exploriing E6 connect and JNPG, so I will withhold comments on those only to say I know each has their own supporters.

In addition, I can assure you that the Uneekor software is being Westernized (is that a word?)as we speak. I get updates almost weekly with small changes and improvements. I am told that big things are coming and that they are just beginning with the planned enhancements.

Bottom line, I like having the hardware that allows me to play all the course software.....

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Gene

thats a great summary and I totally agree. And on top of that, the uneekor Qed even comes for almost half the price of a Trackman or a GC Hawk. Simply said, I would not know why to go for anything but the Qed. As my house just finishes in April 2020, I still have some time to observe the development of each of the rivals, but honestly, prices might need to drop in the mid term for both Trackman and GC.

thanks for your comments and please let me know if my thoughts here do not make any common sense.

I agree with your thinking....I have heard from several sources that the sim market is only going to get more competitive, I the prices may be driven down....so, waiting and watching until your house is finished is definitely a good move......let's see what happens over the next 6 months.
