SkyTrak and The Golf Club (TGC) Simulation Software

[soccerdude]

Hi Seth. I'm new to this forum but have been reading as much as I can about SkyTrak on this and other forums. It seems that many experienced sim users think that The Golf Club game is the best simulator software out there right now. In fact, if I'm understanding and remembering things correctly, Bubba22 and Zmax were instrumental (please correct me if I'm wrong) in getting ProTee to integrate their sim hardware (and gc2) with The Golf Club software. So my question to you/SkyTrak is simply this: Has there been any thought to integrating SkyTrak with The Golf Club? And if so, what are the odds that this might happen? And if so, when?

I'm getting in on this, gonna be even more optimistic and say.....November 4th

I personally just think it's funny how Protee would post pictures of different golf courses on here daily and would always state that it's not them that's holding up the release of the golf club on Skytrak. We were told they were waiting for the SDK from Skytrak and basically everything was ready on their side for integration and that it would be a quick process once they receive it. Now that they have in fact received the SDK or at least that's what's been implied on this forum, now there has not been a single post from them all week. Strange...

[arwin]

Maybe they are working on integrating with the new SDK rather than posting pictures online. Seems to make sense to me

[Joko]

Yeah this. Seems to be logical.

[luv2golf]

None of this seems to be logical. At times I feel being this close to development is more of hindrance than a help.

Funny how they've released new 2016 pricing lately huh?

[Joko]

To be fair they did that a month ago.

Sorry guys, but it might take a while. Its not just about an SDK update... Now that WGT is live we expect E6 to be released next.

Anyway, enjoy twilight golf rates at Jack's Bay Golf Club

How long is a while? I don't need a date, just a ballpark figure (days, weeks, months, quarters). People are highly anticipating the release and it is getting frustrating to be told it is just around the corner without any idea of when that actually means. Mid October has come and gone without a meltdown so I think most will understand if whatever stated timeframe does not pan out, as long as there is good communication and updates on what the next projected timeframe will be. Come on man, just throw us a bone!!!

[Joko]

I agree ^^^, are we talking sometime next year?

[mthunt]

Guys, all I can say is that when Protee said they made a deal TGC they set a release date and TGC Sim was released on that date. When Skytrak was being launched "coming soon" were the words. I doubt Protee is to blame. That's only my opinion from being here a while. It's worth the wait and if waiting isn't an option, TGC works with the GC2.

Thanks for the heads up Pro Tee United.

The best creations by Dr. Yeti (IMO)... Hoodoo Hills and Happy Yeti Golf Resort.

Now you're just rubbing it in!

[avantix]

Seriously WTF At this point I'd be happy with desktop v2 of Skytrak application

[Ironstrokes]

Come on protee, be cool....just slip it through the cracks before all the e6 stuff, just be all like "whoops, didn't mean to release it yet, it was a technical error or something".....we wont tell Skytrak

[ProTee United]

Ok, we can be cool. I will try to explain it one more time

As you know we (ProTee) distribute this AWESOME GOLF GAME called TGC Simulator. We made it work with several sims already including our own ProTee Golf Simulator. Our ultimate goal is to make TGC work with every simulator out there, so we can all play together (online!) and on tournaments and enjoy the game of golf indoor on over 85,000+ AWESOME golf courses (did I mention its AWESOME yet?).

We enabled TGC to work with SkyTrak, like for example we did with GSA Golf. We do not sell TGC for GSA directly. We leave that up to GSA. GSA has its own marketing strategy and business plan and decide when and how they sell it. This is exactly the same for SkyTrak. We just provide the TGC software and its up to SkyTrak how they run their business.

We do not know when SkyTrak will release it, but I'm sure they are working hard in the background to make it all happen!

PS. Don't worry about missing the TGC Tour. You can jump in anytime and we will be running TGC Tours all year long.
PSPS. Looking forward to welcome you all to the TGC community soon!
PSPSPS. Thank you all for your patience!!

Ah makes sense. You guys at protee are definitely good people in my book. Figured once you got that SDK that all that marketing and pricing stuff was already set to go once you guys finished doing all your fancy SDK stuff. So i see......Seeeeeetttthhh.....the endless begging bounces back to you again it seems........just be cool seth, we don't want to have to rough you guys up a bit .....In Seth I trust!

[Bubba22]

ProTee is not to blame for the slow release of TGC. This new SDK will be ready soon I am sure. The previous SDK used for Skytrak and TGC went great. Obviously they have updated their SDK and ProTee will reprogram the connection. It's up to Skytrak to market and sell the software for TGC. Hopefully they have a good plan!

[heisman32]

ProTee, thanks for the information as I was under the impression Skytrak was now waiting on you since they had provided the SDK. So I pose the same request to Seth at Skytrak, how much longer can we expect to wait? To quote myself from above:

[luv2golf]

My guess is early December. E6 first (Nov. 12th), Perfect Golf (Nov 26th)..........then TGC. Just a guess..........

Here a video posted by bionicboogerboy in another thread. Fast Forward to 1:26 to see SkyTrak in action with TGC.

Thanks to bionicboogerboy for finding this.
