Totally agree with luv2golf, few years ago having a GPS in your car was like WOW! Now you get GPS free on your phones. Technology drives prices down - and esp software when there are not much additional costs involved when selling additional software.

You cant honestly believe in a 400% increase in 5 years over something most people have no desire to seriously own.

Obviously no one can really know other than the sim manufacturers if they are going to sell that many. However, with the price of these, there is a significantly higher number now interested (personal opinion for sure, but you can pick up the tone of others). One very recent thread alone on a major golf forum seems to be driving a ton of interest by itself. Most over there don't even know about this forum. Keep in mind, we are talking about golfers here, many of whom are "obsessed" with it, so i have no doubt most would definitely want a sim of their own. How many times do you see people hitting on them in golfsmith/etc with no intent to really buy the clubs but more of just using the sim.

If you go with TGC, you will need a gaming computer. Most recommend a desktop version with some horsepower, see specs in the computer requirements section. E6 currently lists computer specs on their page.

Skytrak, TGC and other software, graphics cards, CPU's, Projectors and displays, etc., are all technologies that come together to give us that immersive experience we're after.
The trap that the majority of humans fall into when they attempt to predict where technology will be in 2, 5 or 10 years is they think technological advances are linear and believe that things improve by small increments, whereas, and in keeping with Moore's Law, we see exponential growth and have done since the birth of the microprocessor. What this means to us sim guys is that with every passing year we can expect bigger and bigger jumps in tech and we can't even begin to image how better the sim experience will be in just a few short years! The other thing to consider is the effect on price all this has.Last edited by HarryG; 10-10-2015, 01:57 PM.Comment

Wasn't skytrak supposed to be submitting an SDK to TGC sometime ago now? Wonder if that happened? It's now mid October and nothing yet. I need to know if i can offload my opti and p3 or will those be my sims this year?Comment

Yeah, as of today I do see that Skytrakgolf.com now has a 'simulation' main menu, but still only WGT is listed. Slowly but surely it will happen, but I've lost hope that it will be any time soon.Comment

SkyTrak's social media sites are https://twitter.com/SkyTrakGolf and https://www.facebook.com/SkyTrakGolf?fref=ts. If they're done giving substantive updates here, maybe with enough pressure we'll get activity there.

I just played 18 holes!!!!!!
It was awesome.
This worked for me using E6 Demo 1.6
Had issues with shots 25ft and under off the green - a lot didn't register.
Putting worked with 4 or 5 unregistered shots though.
Awesome.
C'mon TGC!Comment

No sorry guys. We still have not received this SDK update.Originally posted by wbond View PostComment

zip, Seth - SkyTrak_Seth, couldn't care less who buys what software, as long as you buy a skytrak. -
Skytrak would benefit from having as many sim options as they can. But I agree that Skytrak only cares about selling SkyTrak units and memberships, they don't care which sim option you choose. I'll play them all if they come out with demos and choose the one that fits me the best, I assume that will be TGC, but maybe my mind will be changed.
