How to turn on SHOT RECORDING

[ProTee United]

Shot Recording is a Tournament feature. In order to use shot recording you must have a tournament user profile.
Play at least 1 live tournament event or official Q-School event in order for your tournament user profile to be created on golfsimulatortours.com .


TGC includes a SETTINGS file.

You can edit this file using the TGC Dashboard.
Skytrak users have a shortcut icon installed on the Windows Desktop: SkyTrak TGC Settings.

Important: Make sure the server or any other interface program is not running.




This settings file contains a section: [TGC Online].
Here you find:

Shot Recording=OFF
USER ID=<YOUR USER ID> eg. AAAA-1234-CCCC-5678-EEEE

1] Turn on Shot Recording by changing Shot Recording=OFF to Shot Recording=ON. Save the file.

2] Copy the USER ID.

3] Edit your Forum user profile and paste the USER ID in the field: TGC User ID.

4] Edit the field TGC Nickname in your forum user profile. Make sure its EXACTLY the same as the nickname you use in TGC (case sensitive).

5] Save you forum profile and hit a couple of test shots on a random course.



You will find the recordings on http://golfsimulatortours.com under your tour player profile.

Little question :

4] Edit the field TGC Nickname in your forum user profile. Make sure its EXACTLY the same as the nickname you use in TGC (case sensitive).

In my TGC Settings is my full name. Where can i find my nickname in TGC19 and have i change this in the config too ?!?!

ok thanks!

I wanted to make sure I setup my account correctly for online play. I have Recording set to On and saved and entered in both fields here like stated. I played a random round myself and wanted to make sure my account shows up? When I search it doesn't display. Should be under "Craig Bilsky"

If it was just a casual round I don't think you'll show up. The database is for tour players. Play some online rounds first and then you'll see it.

It updates I think on Monday or maybe Tuesday.

Change name in those 2 locations then wait for it to update. You should be good to go.

I’m trying to change my name on TGC to ek36. I’ve updated in my user settings.
I also updated the skytrak config.txt, updated my name, saved the file. I also changed it in the skytrak tgc dashboard.
but somehow the name in the config.txt file resets to my full name.
Why is it resetting or am I missing a step?

SOLVED! Was doing it wrong

Not yet solved. I did manage to change my name in TGC, but is it supposed to update my Tour name?
I just finished WGC Dell and I see my old name in the rankings. How do I change this?

Try completing a q-school event (both rounds). I believe you have to play one to establish a tour handicap. I could be wrong in this and someone may correct me on it, but I think I recall some sort of tie in between q-school and your tour handicap.

I still, for the life of me, cannot get this to work. I've only played 5 tournaments on TGC1, with my SkyTrak, but never Q-School. My name on TGC is Adam Prince. I have my Nickname on this forum set to that, as well as setting the long User-ID from my settings file. ShotRec is turned 'ON', and my settings are within spec. I'm at a loss as to why my SR still shows a red 'X' next to all my rounds.

Found answer as soon as typed reply so deleted

T_Fet same as my username here.

[3on3putt]

What's your screen name in the game?

[T_Fet]

Can’t seem to find myself on golfsimulatortours.com, so not sure what I got wrong with that.

Hello all -- I played my first Q-School round a few hours ago but don't see any shot recordings or my username posted on the TGCtours page [Edit: golfsimulatortours.com page]. From within the game I can see myself on the standings (very very low in the standings!) , but I'm not seeing my name anywhere else. Could it take longer than a few hours to update? I think I have the TGC profile settings updated correctly and shot recording is on... can anyone see what is going wrong? The username I'm using in game and here is the same. Thanks.

Quoting myself above so others can hopefully find this in the future... ProTee Support replied to me that a new profile is not created until after the entire event is completed, (not just a few shots, and not even an entire round). I hadn't seen this from scrolling through the thread, so it could be this changed or I missed it, but in any case, I'm posting it again so others can see that in the future as well.

[myrison]

Actually it was me that made the mistake. I wasn’t looking on TGCtours but in the golfsimulatortours.com. Your response was helpful and I’ve contacted Protee to create my profile. Thank you!
