She's alive!!!!
Since we're basically killing time, here's my preemptive TGC rig. I think it turned out nice.

Looks good, again, I love that this thread is more about computers than golf simulation.

Pretty sad actually.

Yes, indeed pretty sand!

Stunning views..
Cold outside and playing this from the comfort of your own heated garage

these do get old, I concur. It's like protee is just playing with our emotions...

I have been playing TGC on my laptop for 2 month now, talking about a tease, these pics are nothing compared to playing it 5 times a week just not being able to play it on my skytrak lol

I played an entire summer tour with a guy who played TGC on a skytrak. My guess is it's about the licensing, not the ability to use the software. If true, I bet all software will launch once they figure that out. The tournament ability of TGC is amazing and more people playing will make it better.

I have been playing TGC on Skytrak for close to year now. Its great, in fact awesome! The only knock on Skytrak is the putting accuracy of the horizontal azumuth is suspect. there are software corrections that TGC have developed to make it more playable. I have been in contact with Skytrak to really push the release with not only TGC but also E6 and PG.

Based on what I've seen in other topics, they haven't released a lot of the sim options because of security concerns. They understandably have to protect their assets, they don't want people to easily connect their Skytrak to TGC (that can be bought for something like $30) without buying their proper license.

In some cases I think it should be easy.. the number of people that actually have a Skytrak is limited, the number of people willing to try to crack their licenses is even fewer. Still, if the opportunity to exploit that is there, then they'd be right to cover their tracks before releasing. I know plenty of people that haven't paid for an official OS for their computers.. and there are some major players in that arena that you'd think would be able to get that right!

I want my software, but I understand that in order for Skytrak to support it in the future, they really need to have it protected. I'm hopeful that they're close to getting a verification system they feel comfortable with, and everything else is ready to go.

So did anyone get anywhere replicating their home courses? I tried it's too hard. I can see its easy enough to make a fantasy course. Wondered if anyone has the perseverance!

We moved ST simulator software comparison discussions to a new thread: http://golfsimulatorforum.com/forum/...6-vs-tgc-vs-pg

Admire your patience sascha. Hope its rewarded with a decent course. That might spur me on again. Based on my progress im thinking it's about 100 hours per replica course.
