Absolutely love everything, the only thing I cant get my head around is the new design of the in game ball stats and the pin indicator IUD seems too bulky and not modern as the old one. Thanks for all you do Ralph
First Thank you for the Videos, In the Driving Range- I wished when I changed clubs it would use my Bag Mapping to change the distance to whatever club I select, as a Starting point.
I love the newer course filter, I wish that they would also add a filter for States. It would be nice to look at only the courses that are in my state.
In-game ball indicator is awesome-I didn’t realize I’d like that so much. Do the new physics apply to putting? It felt a lot slower than normal, but maybe I’m just imagining it?
I felt the same way. I played my first round on the beta and I putted horribly. However I loved it. I feel like the green speeds are a LOT more accurate to what 10 and 11 stimp feel like irl.
@@rcperkjr In GSpro we have data tiles like ballspeed or peak height. In settings I am pretty sure I can pick metric or imperial. But on the tiles when I play I would like to see the unit of measurement. So for Peak height there should be a little "ft" by the number indicating it is 70 ft high. It is one of the most common comments when I have guests because they may have no experience with golf sims so they do not understand what the measurement is like us who own them.
@@Shmee2642 That makes perfect sense! Thank you for taking the time to explain so I would not misunderstand. I will certainly discuss that today with them.
Hi Ralph - thank you for posting this. It looks great. You mentioned support for additional launch monitors - any chance that includes SkyTrak and SkyTrak+? Would be great to have native support without having to run the API.
I was excited to see filters, especially the "unplayed". However, all my courses show up with that filter. The other bug I see is that if you go into custom skills test and then into playing a round of golf, the custom skills test leaves a box in the upper left corner covering the info you need as you play. Help in how to report these errors would be great. Thanks for all your hard work Ralph.
Update looks really good, however the bag mapping didn't work for me last night, it wouldn't show distance or average on the screen and once I was done all clubs were set to 0 yards in my bag.
Hey Ralph, how does free flight work…. When I press (F5) I can’t seem to move around. I am trying to use the keyboard which still only adjusts the aim point. I have tried the mouse with the same effect - what am I missing?
I’d love to know the distance of the next hole while I wait for the others to finish the hole. That way I can get ready and start a few practice swings prior to hitting vs all of sudden I’m seeing distance getting my club taking a few swings etc. would save time and speed up online play. Also aiming your shot when it’s not your turn. I run over to my computer and wait because although I can aim and the marker crossairs will show on the mini map once it gets to my turn it’s not actually pointing in that direction but still shows mini map marker i dropped and I have to readjust. Same with putting let us go to a seperate pull up screen and pre aim the put so when it’s your turn ready to hit and not spending 30 seconds dialing in the putt aim. All this would speed up online play.
I am putting my first simulator room together and have been leaning towards the SkyTrak+ for its price and ease of use & set up. But I’m a bit worried about its comparability with GSPro. Can you advise me please ?
New interface looks great. Disappointed that the driving range did not allow you to type in your distance or have the random distance generator. Those features are great in the current version.
Yes they work. I do not suggest you competing in the new Public Beta until you spend a good amount of time getting a feel through practice of how the new physics feel especially around the green and putting. Putting will feel much more realistic as it pertains to uphill and downhill speeds. Please though, practice before an SGT Tournament :)
@@Brewski203 it should. I know that they were working on it yesterday. Make sure you are on the latest build. Again, it is beta so please report any and all findings to Support, they love to get this feedback.
Have that added a “ball view” option?? On V1, our view is always 10ft behind the ball. I’ve been hoping for an update that lets me get right behind the ball and see that view.
Also one more thing that would be cool but just something that would be fun…. Have a Spotify/Apple Music plugin that allows you to play music and have the others online enjoy the tunes. Just like real golf with the buddies. Swing cam add on would be cool too. Now I’m just thinking about everything haha
I think camera support is coming just not in this release. I know it is something being worked on heavily in the background. Music part would be great!!! I dont think copyright stuff would allow it to be shared though ... you know those services want their money so sharing the music you are playing with someone else that doesnt subscribe might not make those services all too happy if you know what I mean. I LOVE the ideas though, for sure!!! Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
Do you know if they've fixed the order the players appear in the upper left? Previously, this order was somewhat random. I sent a request to always order this by distance the hole so the players always know clearly who is up next. This was a pretty simple quality of life improvement that I hope has been implemented. Would suck to have to wait another year.
I believe the order of appearance has always been the order it was placed when the round was setup and doesnt change. There should be an indicator next to the player that is up, hitting next. I will certainly ask them about that though.
@@rcperkjr I can confirm that the order does not match the expected order of play as a hole progresses. It sets the order based on the tee order and that's it. Super disappointed, as it means again, calling people out to be ready to play when you have upwards of 8 people over all playing. It's super important to keep the pace of play moving to get through even 9 holes.
Ralph how do i delete GSPRO so i can reload fresh copy if ut doesnt even show up in add/remove programs? Think i have 2 copies overtop of each other so want to delete them all and reload new copy
I have one on how to get signed up and registered - th-cam.com/video/eHwgJ3g29D8/w-d-xo.html are you looking for something else in regard to SGT? I am always happy to help and LOVE receiving requests for new content that will help the community.
Any chance that you can play a custom challenge all the way to the the bottom of the cup? Why? Obviously this would have to be in the practice area only so custom skills would be perfect. This would also make GSPRO more accessible to kids and I would love to be able to drop a ball anywhere on a hole and play it to the bottom of the cup as a way to randomize practice. I have a friend who is well over 80 and plays 2 or three times a week but to keep from slowing things down on course he just drops a ball somewhere inside of 150yd and plays it in from there… I see no reason why this should not be an option in GSPRO for local play. Due to overhead space limitations anything longer than a 7 iron can’t be used except maybe as a punch shot so I am really limited on course play options. Hey every hole becomes a par 3 at some point PLEASE just let me pic my starting point instead locking me down to the designer tees. On the same thought line - why can’t there be an option to pick the tee box I want to play from on each hole… this is something I could do on any real world course so why not in SIM?
All very good suggestions. Let’s tackle at least one of them. In practice mode: on course practice. You can place the ball anywhere you like, then hit the 8 key if I recall and it will then have you take your next shot from where it had landed. Hit again, press 8 and so on until you hole out. As for the other suggestions, I’m curious enough to ask the developers. I am even curious enough to place up a poll in discord/facebook to see if there Ali’s enough desire for such features as you pointed out. Thanks for watching, hope you subscribed.
@@rcperkjr Thanks for the “8 key” suggestion - I will give that a try! It’s a great way to learn the consequence of any shot decision you made from that drop and more fun than beating balls from the same spot in a custom skills setup I was already subscribed… started my GSPro journey here. I would love to hear what dev and discord has to say if you hear anything back
@@rcperkjr Unfortunately Hitting the "8" key (GoToBall) in a saved Custom Skill does not allow you to finish out the hole, on my 2.5.3.38 version But in on course practice "live" you can go to the ball - seems like it would be an EASY change to include that in saved custom skills don't you think?
@@OMG-2as I mentioned it works when going to Practice, On Course practice you are right, the custom skills are for a certain single shot skill test.
Love the new filters however really not overly keen on the new UI. The design of the home screen is ok but looks older in design than the previous one. The listing page for courses looks quite messy now. You don't need to repeat the word Play / Download in blue beside every course and instead could show icons and more info on hover. Also when can we get the ability to rate courses! It would be so useful for the new players to see course ratings to give them an idea of what to download first. Just a simple 5 star rating system would be fine and then add it to the filters. One other thing that's always bugged me was the scroll behaviour and it's still not fixed in this beta version. The scrolling in gspro just feels janky and really sucks to use. If it's difficult to fix then maybe implement pagination instead. The new challenges are really nice and something I was looking for. I'd like to see a bit more control for random mode though and not just 15-30 yards, just give us a mode where it puts you at random distances from a green for infinite number of shots. One last thing I want to mention is the scoreboard, I think the layout could be improved quite a bit, for example when you have multiple people playing, having to scroll to see more than 2 players is pretty annoying. Really happy that gspro is being updated regularly, keep up the good work!
$250 a year is cheap. Most affordable golf simulator software out there. Go check out the others and come back and let me know. Easiest $250 I spent in my Simulator.
Thanks for your efforts - really informative and helpful.
We all appreciate it
Very welcome :)
Love it!! Ball ready indicator is actually a big deal
Looks awesome, thanks Ralph!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Thx Ralph some cool new features look forward to full release in near future . Don’t think be worrying the long drivers ….just turned 60 😂
I also turned 60 3 weeks ago. They have a 60-69 Division. So there is room for all to compete at every age and skill level.
Course selection tools are freaking awesome!
Thanks!! Great overview!

Any idea on how the "Popular" filter works? Is it based on most downloads? Or individuals who tagged the course as a "Favorite"?
