  • PC-only Skytrak user, help with options

    I have been following the Skytrak saga for a while, the initial feedback (mainly the lack of PC and Sim software) almost drove me to purchase a GC2..but the high cost of that unit made me wait.

    Now that Skytrak has delivered on WGT, and there is a PC beta, I am considering placing an order.

    I dont have an iPad or iPhone. The only device I have that can run the software is a 2015 model Macbook Pro (the model with dedicated graphics card ATI 370x). I have VM Fusion that allows me to run windows 10. I installed the Skytrak PC Beta, and it seems to work. However there is no full screen option at the moment.

    I also discovered an E6 golf demo, that appears to run totally independent of any Skytrak software. Is it correct that I can just install the E6 demo, and get a full course to play and a driving range, without the need for Skytrak software??

    I am a little concerned with Skytraks record on delivering software updates. I cannot believe that it has taken nearly a year to get PC software out, and I hope that its not another 6 months before the PC stuff is ready for a full release (hopefully with a full-screen option!).

    1) Has anyone here taken the plunge without owning an iPad??

    2) Has anyone had luck running E6 in VMWare Fusion (or in a Bootcamp install)? If I used bootcamp, that would allow windows to use the dedicated GPU in the macbook, which may be required to get E6 running...

    Guess best case scenario , by end of November the PC version will be stable and available, and they will have a black friday special .. I'll be all over that if it happens.

        Can't say anything about the upcoming release, but I have the same machine and it works for the current release.
