Questions to Protee

[billydruce]

In another thread you posted "In the very near future we will make sensor systems available with just TGC (like GSA)."

Also we believe that your new system is one that was referred to in the more affordable devices coming soon thread.

Questions
Can u please give us more information about what's coming?

Is it your existing hardware with just tgc
or does it include new hardware?

If you can answer the above questions can you please give us details of the new system and expected release.

I believe it's in your interest to give us information about what's coming, I have personally been waiting since the new year to see what's coming from you, I'm now fed up with waiting for information and I'm planning on purchasing a flightscope xi in the next few weeks. I would however wait for your system if I knew when it was coming and what it included.
I am not alone on this, a few members are getting impatient with waiting, and looking at other options.

The first thing we will make available is a TGC starters pack of our existing sensor system. This pack will include our base sensor system, a camera and TGC.

Our main priority right now is to integrate TGC with other hardware manufacturers. So far we have integrated Holiday Golf, Personal Pro Golf and GSA.

Lots of things will happen in the sim market this year. Several companies will introduce new products (note: this happens every year). You can imagine that the launch of Skytrak stimulated many hardware manufacturers to quickly develop new affordable system in order to compete. You should not wait for any new hardware from any sim company to become available. Like a BMW or TV set, new models are released every year. If you feel Flightscope Xi is the right product for you, then you should pull the trigger. Flightscope makes great products. Do keep in mind that maybe in a couple of months from now there could be a Flightscope XxXiii2+. Just make sure you are happy with your purchase.

If you decide to buy a Flightscope system ask them about possible TGC integration plans. You never know

Billydruce, please note that in my experience, the whole "coming soon" thing is never started by the sim companies but people testing stuff. They leak news and we wait. Skytrak went on and on for a year before being released. Sky golf never said coming soon.

Just want to be fair to the manufacturers.

Totally agree with you mthunt, however it doesn't hurt to ask the question and the manufacturer to give us information on what's coming. I'm very pleased that protee responded. One up to protee.

Will this include your putting sensors? And what are the detriments of not having protee software? Sorry I am new to all this and trying to understand how all the hardware and software work together.
