Introducing Perfect Golf (beta) for SkyTrak

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Good morning all,

The much-anticipated arrival of Perfect Golf is here

I'm having a similar problem as someone had on page 1 but I never saw a resolution. I bought the Perfect Golf package from Skygolf but when I go to connect in Perfect Golf it connects and says Skytrak Connected - Unprovisioned Device - Not Enabled Perfect Golf - Contact SkyTrak.

Any help?

I am also having issues.. I plug in Skytrak, launch PG and the console comes up, I turn on Skytrak and hit connect to skytrak on the PG console, it never finds the Skytrak, this coupled with the distance issues I am having is starting to wear on me some.

Have you tried to connect to the SkyTrak app? Make sure to login to your account in the SkyTrak app, and make sure to sync. After doing that, try reconnecting in PG.

No I did not realize you had to be connected to the app, feeling a tad bit dumb now. Does it matter if it's direct or network?

[Tekbud]

DaNoob do you have the skytrak $100 add-on for game improvement package? This is necessary as well.

[DaNoob]

Yes I had everything bought, seems it was a driver issue, thanks to PP support and you guys for all the help she is up and running now.

[Tekbud]

DaNoob - Can you provide any specifics as to what the driver issue was and what you did to fix it? Seeing a similar issue with another user. Thanks.

Is there any chance that PG will be able to implement an offset feature similar to what TGC has in development? The TGC version of that feature is much more along the lines of what I was thinking would be available in PG. Basically, the entire centerline is offset to accommodate for off-center hitting zones, rather than just the player position on screen.

Interesting announcement today that PG has now been officially released as Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf. Does that mean that it will soon be available for purchase as part of the Skytrak annual subscription package?

Ummm it's been available for purchase for almost 2 weeks now. Hence this thread from Skytrak.

Yes, PG for ST has been available since the week before last, but not as a "Jack Nicklaus" product and not as a full release game. When PG for ST was released, the procedure was to buy the game as "early release" on Steam and then purchase the annual subscription on the SkyGolf site. We were told that after PG was officially released, the game would be available through SkyGolf along with the annual subscription.

[Vincent_Vega]

Gotcha. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

[SDL]

No problem! I should have also mentioned that those of us who bought the early access version of PG do not have to buy the new "Jack Nicklaus" version since the game updates to the new version when you start the game.

It already exists. You hit F8 in the main screen and enter sim_offset (distance) then enter. 1.5 would be 1.5 yards.

[DeaconBlooze]

The target does not also offset..

[Shardak]

If you go into the game itself, and look in the ProShop, they appear to have the simulator pass on sale for $199/year (instead of $250).

Will that work for Skytrak users, or do you have to purchase it via Skytrakgolf.com?

[SDL]

I'm pretty sure that ST users need to purchase the subscription through SkyGolf. It would be great if SkyGolf would also offer the discounted price, but I have not seen any evidence for that so far. Maybe SkyTrak_Seth will give us an update.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

You will need to purchase through SkyGolf, but I will certainly pass this along.

[Tekbud]

Can this post get stickied or at a minimum remove beta from the subject line? This has to be confusing for new members and readers of this forum. Thanks.

PG has stated on their website this week that they have all the PGA Tour Courses done. That they will be releasing them at an additional charge.

All of them? That's pretty impressive, wonder how they will charge for them though. Don't have pg yet but im guessing it will be course by course, that seems how most companies try to work nowadays with the micro transactions, hate that. But who knows, maybe itll be one solid charge, still super cool they are going to release all of them.

[bryanfink01]

Not sure, the first course they released they are charging $5. Now that PG has been renamed to Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf a lot of the "red tape" from releasing the courses is going to go away. They are also working on Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf for Xbox/PS4 and Mobile Devices.

[Tekbud]

I believe they are also working on some sort of tie-in to shot link for official pin positions as well. Fun times!

Hi guys!!!

I am facing a strange situation while putting in Perfect Golf with SkyTrak:

The ball goes almost straight all the times even if I target to right or left
any advice?

[FaultyClubs]

The Skytrak isn't very accurate in the horizontal direction when putting so they probably have some setting in the Skytrak connection app to make it go straight regardless of the numbers the Skytrak produces. Worth checking, it might be a setting you can turn on/off. I don't have a Skytrak so that is just a guess.

[Smudge_si]

I don't have perfect golf but my skytrak picks up putts aimed left to right very accurately in TGC.

[FaultyClubs]

Have you checked the Skytrak app yet as suggested? What did you find?

My Skytrak picks up putt direction very well. I have a simulated cup taped off on the ground that I aim at and if I'm left or right of it a tad then the numbers in TGC confirm with a "Left 1 degree" or "Right 1 degree", etc.
