Perfect Golf (beta) for Skytrak

[wilson]

Word has it - that this can be placed on a 2nd screen to allow ball data to constantly be available.

Back when PerfectParallel published the page with the season pass subscriptions it indicated that you had to add funds to your Steam account in order to purchase the pass. I added these funds via Steam, but after returning to the PerfectParallel site and clicking on the Activate Pass button nothing happened. Now it appears that the purchase for the annual subscription for PG and Skytrak needs to be done through the Skygolf site.

Now I am stuck with a $250 balance on my Steam account that is unusable for PG. I requested a refund through Steam but was denied. Does anyone have experience or ideas that would help me get my money back? The only thing I can think of is going through my bank and requesting a chargeback.

this is what got updated on the minor fix on Friday - not seen this interface before - so i presume it's close(r) again....

I've noticed that the latest version of PG includes some further updates on the settings for sim use. Not only can you select Skytrak or several other input systems, but you can also indicate how the input device is connected (e.g., USB, wi-fi, etc.). I'm not sure what the effects of these settings are - does anyone know whether they help maintain a stable wi-fi or USB connection when using the ST?

Amen! SkyTrak_Seth

SkyTrak_Seth it's time to open this up. You have a bunch of users who have been playing this game for months now. It's stable enough that they have a fully functioning tour as well as a ryder cup event going on, for God's sake! These are not things that are done openly for everyone to see with a "beta" program that is not ready for prime time. The game designers have said publicly this is all on you for not opening it up. Make this happen and allow the rest of us that want to give you money to play it to be allowed to do so.

Yep - From what I've heard this is all in the hands of Skygolf, Skytrak.

That post from Wilson made me think this would be released very soon (like early this week). Anyone have any idea how much longer we'll need to wait?

It looks like the 64-bit version of PG has just been released, so waiting for that to come out should not hold up the release of the ST integration. I'm assuming that SkyGolf just needs to set up and activate the PG subscription purchase link on the ST website.

I did a video of playing Perfect Golf on the GC2. I realize this is the Skytrak thread but a lot of people have asked me to do a video of Perfect Golf. The quality isn't great as I can't use my normal software. I hope to get that fixed up before my next round.

PG just dropped the mother load:

PG
Now when you update PG if you have a 64bit machine it should download the 64bit version of the game

New Ball Roll Physics
We have finally fixed the bug where the ball was not rotating at the same speed as the ball was moving. We have also added a logo to the ball.

All New On Course Practice Mode
We have finally added a new MOP called Practice( change Stroke, Match etc to PRactice). In this mode you get two new buttons in the bottom left of the screen. The Ball Icon once clicked will allow you to move the ball anywhere on the screen or even in the top view and your next shot will be from that position. works just like the aim stick
In addition there is a practice icon which gives you the opportunity to go to any hole on the course or change the wind speed and direction

New Game Play Modes
Greensomes MOP Added
2Man Scramble MOP Added
4Man Scramble MOP Added

Added Display of all golfer balls on top view
Added a feature to allow non tournmanent players to play on a local game with a tournament player with only the tournament players scores being reported. First player in game should report

Modified the setting in Players for the auto green grid. You now have 3 options "Always On" , "Always Off" and "On Green Only"

I created and published the Remote Keyboard for PG. Details are in this thread. Enjoy

[Mike80]

Can someone answer these questions about PG:

I'm using the Steam version with Keyboard/Mouse right now, looking at creating the Remote Keyboard layout.

The F Flyby key is not working. I click F on keyboard or click the Bird flyby icon and it does nothing. Why isn't flyby working?

Is there a keyboard mapped for a mulligan?

Is there a replay button?

I looked at the Controls but don't see mulligan there to map???

Thanks!

Will someone send me all keyboard shortcuts for PG. I will create a remote keyboard layout for PG like I did for TGC. Thanks!

wilson Thanks for sending me the shortcuts. I will setup a new remote keyboard layout soon and post for everyone to use. I don't like to use the keyboard for sim play. Definitely prefer the nice touch screen for aiming and all the keys to control the game. Overall much better experience this way!
