finally have a sim setup at home :)
I had been wanting to do this for a while and now finally have a setup running. Its little cramped at about 8-9ft from the screen but I was not going to let that stop me from realizing my dream 
Original plan was to wait for the Eye Mini and then decide which launch montor I would go with. With their delay my impatience won out and pulled the trigger on GC2 CPO deal.
Setup is 10x9 Carls DIY enclosure
Projector: Benq TH671ST
For the base layer i double stacked foam tiles from Harbour Freight. I found these to be the cheapest of the foam tiles. However seems like i got about half that were made with a differnent cast or something as they would not fit the others. Visually you could tell the color apart.
For the turf on the top I decided to go with Traffic Master and also used a rug pad to try to get the height to match the hitting strip. Still could not get it to match exactly. May be the foam tiles and/or the traffic master turf are not as thick as they claim to be.
Hitting Strip: Holy Grail hitting strip from GungHo
For the padding in the enclosures I ended up using moving blankets from amazon. I was about to throw out some old dog beds and had an idea that I could re purpose the memory foam in them. So I used some of this foam and rolled the moving blankets around it and so far its working out well
.
For the outer frame I used 1" pipe insulation and I am aware that these wont really provide any protection. So I am open to suggestions on how I could the outer frame safer.
If any one has pointers for first time GC2 user please send em my way. I am using FSX Play right now to just get familiar with the sim.
If some can point me to ELI5 explanation for data that I am getting from GC2 that will be great. I am trying to understand and figure out how I can interpret club path from the data. Side Spin and Push/Pull data I can follow but not quite understand Spin Axis. Another thing I noticed is that Spin Axis always shows 'R' next to the degree, even when I hit a right to left shot. What I noticed is that in the ball data table that is shown after a shot it shows 11.9 L but on the shot screen it shows 11.9 R. So probably a FSX Play bug?
I have been using it quite a bit and will most likely over do it and fully expect my golf game to get worse, when ever I would go to the range frequently it would get worse.
Any and all tips are welcome.
