Just heard from my FS rep shipping tonight. 

I didn’t get charged until last Wednesday so I’m tempering my expectations. Did get an email that FSX 2020 comes with 4 more courses if I want to purchase that now 😂 The number is still 10…I think there was only 5+fairgrounds before GC3 launch.

Has anyone heard specifics of the next drop? I've heard maybe this Saturday, but no confirmation or exact time.

 

Edit: I'm referring to the Bushnell Launch Pro.

Any insider info plz? This is almost as hard as getting a new car nowadays. Anyone else trying to get xdrive45e, not sure which one is more frustrating lol

[kwettig]

Anyone have any experience running FSX2020 through a decent projector?  What computer setup are you running?

What date did you place your pre-order?

I ordered mine direct from a Foresight rep over the phone the Friday before the Launch Pro release.  Just got my tracking info today.

Per FS rep there was an issue with their auto-generated emails for shipping, if you call/emai l your rep they can give you the tracking.  I got mine today(tracking).

Soooo, full review in a few days? 🙂  

 

Glad to hear they're already starting to fulfill these! Enjoy it man.  

Says it will be delivered Monday, but a little disappointed they sent it UPS Ground.  So probably wont get here until Wednesday.

[clevited]

I checked with rep and he said if you have been emailed software you should be getting shipping notice shortly after but that was all he could tell me.

[Jpan08]

I'm just surprised we haven't seen any reviews on it yet even though some youtubers have it

Nice! I also ordered mine direct through a rep on the same day, so here is to hoping I get some movement shortly. No word yet and my rep wouldnt commit to an estimated date other than 'soon'

Bummer.  If you got your software email, pretty good chance it shipped the same day.

Stumbled upon this page of guides to the GC3, a little more in depth than the manual. Don't think this has been posted yet

I also ordered from the rep and filled out the DocuSign form on Friday.  But my credit card did not get charged until Monday.  Hopefully I’ll get my software email in the next few days.

Has anyone confirmed which / how many courses come with the GC3?  They advertise 20 courses with the GC3 Sim-In-A-Box deal, but looks like only 10 courses with the standalone unit.

Emailed my rep last night and he said based on my position in the queue my GC3 will ship out sometime next week.

 

Said it could be sooner or later but based on what he sees that's his best guess 

[Jpan08]

Rep told me you can buy the extra 10 courses for $1500 without buying the sim in a box, supposedly a 2700$ value...

• Pebble Beach Golf Links™
• The Links at Spanish Bay™
• Spyglass Hill® Golf Course
• Old Course at St Andrews Links™
• The Castle Course at St Andrews Links™
• Jubilee Course at St Andrews Links™
• New Course at St Andrews Links™
• Pitch N Putt
• Carnoustie Golf Links
• Real Club Valderrama

$750???

Was thinking about buying pebble since it’s on sale through Sunday but this might be a better idea.  20 courses would probably be more than enough for me for a few years.  Though I’d like to know more about FSX Play and whether the courses will be updated to unity graphics when they roll that out in the coming months.

I had the same question. This was his response: "If you bought them individually you’d spend $2950. 

Eventually all the FSX courses will be updated in FSX Play but it won’t be all of them at once"

Pebble is $200 on launch pro (Premium Courses). Their standard courses will be $125.

Which makes zero sense.  How can you charge less for courses under subscription?  Although when your subscription lapses you don’t have fsx to run the courses.  Nothing about the subscription model makes sense to me.  And now they changed the price? Would have loved to go Bushnell and lower cost of entry but at the end of the day I guess I know what I’m getting with GC3 and that’s why I spent way more money than I wanted to.  Half price quad lite.  Just hope the hardware will last 10 years 🤞

I would guess that Foresight set the subscription prices and then priced GC3 accordingly so that it would make people have a decision on whether to buy theirs or Bushnell. If they don’t price subscription that high then everyone would go Bushnell. But if they made GC3 $5K let’s say then everyone would do that since there’s no subscription. It’s a balancing act from the the parent company so that one doesn’t kill the sale of the other. It’s really the best of both worlds because they guys who have the extra cash went GC3. They guys that didn’t went BLP and will now be paying a yearly subscription.
