Introducing TGC for SkyTrak

**Mantis** · 02-26-2016, 11:59 PM

After waiting a day to receive the email from Skytrak for the download link, plus having to call SkyGolf customer service just to have them send it to me.
Now it turns out I have to wait another day for a licence key from ProTee before I can play this game.

I'm not usually an impatient person, but I did just pay a $1000 for a video game that I still can't play.
Talk about a buzz kill.

I bit the bullet and did the one year subscription to TGC. Waiting on ProTee for the license code, then hopefully can get the SkyTrak to work with Wi Fi without and issues!

Wow I wish I would have read these posts first. I purchased about an hour ago hoping to download and play when I got home from work, but it looks like maybe 2 days from now if I'm lucky? Still waiting on the "step 1", nothing yet received from SkyTrak. I'm posting because it seems many are not getting anything until they mention it and get some help.

Suggestion: Put this info in the purchase page and be up front about this very lengthy registration time. This day and age, it's unprecedented to not have automatic/instant download and activation.

Thanks for any help.

UPDATE: Thanks whoever did that, just got my activation code.

I am just about to buy TGC outright. Hopefully have everything I need for tomorrow night.

Is the tgc software download taking forever (hours) for anyone else? Any tips? Brand new super fast machine on fast wifi.

yes, took almost 2 hours to install and my wifi was running at 98MB/s on a brand new speedy machine as well but the download maxed out at 270kb/s for some odd reason. Anyways have sent off license request now.

Mr. Protee, can you also please let me know how I go about requesting the forum rebate when you see this in the morning. Thanks!

I left mine to download overnight and still didn't get close to done.

Try again, it should not take that long unless there is an issue with your external or internal network. We just started a download from Europe. Files are hosted in the US. Here is a video of the speed we just recorded. Downloading 1.7Gb.

I put the kid to bed and spent about 4 hrs getting a feel for tgc. All in all, lots of fun. I found a few courses that killed my gpu (980gtx) and it allowed me to understand the settings better.

I played Pinehurst #2 (and beat ks-man's ghost

). The putting and chipping was great. I chipped 1 in for eagle and putting was quite fair.

I can wait to figure out online play.

Guys can anybody help me help me through this?
Happens every time I hit the Play Game button, license key is activated and the box is connected.

Played my first 9 holes at Riviera last night. Some observations:

Distances are spot on. Hit my drives around 250-260 just like outdoors. Hit a 153 yard par 3 with a 9 iron just like outdoors.

Putting is tough. I think I took close to 40 putts including a 6 putt on hole 1! That will get better in time.

Playing on Wifi had a lag 8 seconds on 95mb/s connection, usb connected less than 3 seconds. This is odd because earlier in week had less than 3 second lag on wifi using 2.2 Skytrak demo. Anyone else notice that a difference?

Commentator guy cracks me up. After I putt off the green on one hole he says "here's a pro tip. Get it back on the green" lol.

Anyways, just based on the accuracy of ball flight replication alone, I am super stoked with my purchase - it really completes my system.

Do you have to play 5 handicap rounds before you can play multiplayer? Hope not because want to start playing multiplayer right away.

Also was anyone else frozen out from posting last night? I kept getting message that I had to wait 33333 second before I could post again. Weird.

...waiting for my license key...let's give this a go over the weekend!

Moderator: I posted this in the other thread also, not sure which one of these will win out. Maybe close one and make one an official post area?

Okay, played my first round today and so far so good, I really like this a lot, but there are some issues. I am hitting wedges and 8-9 irons into greens and the ball wont stop no matter how much back spin I put on it. I hit a pitching wedge from the fairway and hit in front of the green just to have it roll all the way off the back side!! This makes it really hard to imagine playing in a league or online.

Also, I have had several phantom hits while lining up, and some iron shots that literally went two feet, what happens when this takes place in a tournament? I am not getting online until I have some confidence that these issues have been resolved.

Any advice? I am having no problems with short chips and putting, for me they are great, I just cant stop a ball on a green to save my life!
