another lefty anxiously waiting. I was told it would be early this week, guess not.

does anyone if there are overclocking apps which can speed up the cpu to see if it helps with the delay?

they were submitting the release to apple early this week. apple still needs to approve it. you can blame apple for this one.

Did we ever get confirmation that 1.7 was submitted ?

Trugolf have announced version 1.6 ( https://trugolf.com/e6/ ) which should be available by the end of Jan. So hopefully Skytrak will have some kind of simulation announcement soon.

They've also announced that E6 will be available via the cloud ( https://trugolf.com/news/cloud-technology/ ) on a monthly subscription which to me sounds like the route ST will be taking.

I have never liked the idea of renting sim software monthly or yearly. I hope that's not their only option. Eecially when other software like TGC is well priced and has an endless amount of courses. Golfacheiver had that option at one time and I don't think a lot of folks liked it.

Before I purchased the SkyTrak I had a lengthy conversation with the people at FlightScope when I was considering buying their unit. They told me when the Xi and Xi+ would be sim ready they too would have a monthly subscription option for the sim side of things.

A montly or annual subscription is fine by me especially if the cost of getting into simulation play is large(ie 1k+) but would hope if its reasonably priced they also would have a purchase option.

[Jel]

I'm not a huge fan of monthly subscriptions either but the monthly option with E6 could be good for a few months while a lot of the other sims sort themselves out.

I know there's an issue with distance in ST and shorter clubs but I find it with pretty much all my clubs (oddly enough more so with longer clubs). Admittedly I'm playing in a freezing cold garage with cold clubs etc and I've experimented with warm clubs and balls but they all seem 10/20% short.

Below left is my driver shot which has a 2 degree lower launch angle and ball sped is 5mph down on ST's app store image on the right but to carry to be 40 odd yards short seems a big difference.

I ran both screen shots through optimal flight and your numbers on skytrak are only off by three yards carry. OF has a 195 yard carry for your shot and 1 yard off line. Thats pretty good.

The SkyTrak screen shot is just that, marketing numbers. They don't jive with OF. That shot should have only carried 214 yds and been offline 11-13 yards. Also ignore all club speed numbers. They use a fixed smash factor calculation (1.45) just like GC2 does without the HMT.

[Bubba22]

You beat me to it Throttle. Post the exact numbers for both shots through OF including the carry and roll.

[Throttle]

Here you go

[Jel]

Okay thanks for that throttle. Seems like ST screenshot is slightly exaggerated

I have to agree on this one, I would rather bite the bullet once and get the updates, I hate the monthly pick pockets.
