    Skytrak Fitness Golf

    I just bought the Skytrak Fitness Golf Package, downloaded and installed it. It recognizes my Skytrak device but when I try to play it says "No Valid License Found" Anyone help?

    To everyone, the bottom line here is user error. when I purchased my Fitness Golf Package I used my email address instead of my Skytrak user name. Greg contacted Sktrak and they ported my registration for of Fitness Golf to my Skytrak user name. Now it all works perfectly. A few comments on the program:
    1. I have heard people remark on the graphics being week however there are many settings in the graphics menu option that allow you to customize the resolution, screen size to suit your equipment, it can be as sharp or as pixelated as you want it to be, again depending on your processor.
    2, The way I set it up it is as good as any other simulator software out there.
    3. Highly recommend this package!!
    4, Thanks to Greg for firefighting and solving the issues.

    "2, The way I set it up it is as good as any other simulator software out there." Based on this statement, what other simulator software have you used or are currently using?

    I'm very tempted to try out this software, but I'm a little leary as i've had P3Proswing before and believe it's the same software that is used with that. If it is, there is a definite difference in graphics quality between this and TGC. Interested to hear your thoughts on it as i'm still on the fence as to whether or not to get it. Also, do you play with a natural draw or fade? I hear their ball physics may be better to represent these types of shots vs ST or TGC which doesn't include spin decay.

      Is fitness golf the only software on ST that includes spin decay?

      Wbond, apologies, I have been underground for a while. As to your question: I have tried and used WGT, Jack Nicholas Golf and Egolf. Of the three, prior to trying Fitness Golf, the only one that really worked for the most part was Egolf. Up till now that would have been my recommendation for anyone buying a golf package. The Reasons were primarily related to the lack of flexibility on the packages, and also that both WGT and Jack Nicholas golf would stop seeing the ball on short chips around the green whereas this did not happen with Egolf I should say as much since there were times when Egolf froze on short chips but not nearly the same as the other two. Also I found distance to be an issue. With both Nicholas and WGT I could hardly hit the ball 180 yards, but if I used the Skytrak software practice and game improvement modes I was hitting the ball normally, which for mee would be 230 off the tee etc...

      I have had some issues now with Fitness, some courses crashed/would not load however I am told that was a function of my graphics card alothouhg yesterday I played Royal Birkdale in the rain and with a medium wind and had absolutely no issues at all. Greg, I think the owner/creator of Fitness golf had told me that the courses are created by different people and therefore respond to hardware requirements differently so out of 162 courses if only a few don't work then I am Ok with that. I will be trying out more courses and let you know. Fore, incoming..... have fun.....

      Scotty_123 is using an Intel integrated 520 graphics chip which only has a PassMark score of 831. The minimum graphics card we recommend using with the Fitness Golf software is a dedicated Nvidia GTX 670 video card which has a PassMark score of 5373. I told Scotty_123 that I really had no idea how he was able to play any of the courses with such a weak graphics card. As with many video games, the software will not load if the graphics card does not meet the minimum specifications. I told him he really needs to upgrade his graphics card.

    Trying to figure out why a fitness golf mode was needed on the skytrak before multiple users.

      I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Can you clarify?
