That golf course looks pretty good. I want to fly over Bandon Dunes or Cabot Cliffs.

It’s really good. My computer is 4 years old and runs it pretty well, all things considered.

Bummer. I don't have a gaming computer, this is coming to the Xbox, but it'll be a long wait. Looking at custom builds, looks like it'll cost at least 600 USD to run this thing.

Can you fly over Bandon Dunes and do a screencap, lol?

I didn't either. I kept stalling and crashing. But the visuals in this one are amazing.

I had a flight sim for radio control planes.   It was great for learning new tricks on real RC planes.  It ran on Windows 98.   I could pick all different types of RC planes and using a realistic RC controller do several types of aerobatics.    I inquired about updating the software to Windows 10 and the price had jumped about 800% over what I paid back in the day.    I still have that old Windows 98 laptop and may fire it up to use the RC flight sim.

The MS 2020 flight sim does look great.

If they bring it to Xbox I'll definitely buy it. The 2014 Mac Mini I have running Windows 10 in Bootcamp doesn't even come close to meeting the required specs for PCs, though.

Last Microsoft FS I purchased was FS2004. At that time there was also a very active 3rd party ATC simulation that someone was able to merge the pieces, so not only were you flying from point A to point B, you were doing it under the control of live verbal ATC. I tried both parts, and it was always interesting seeing a plane appear on you radar screen, and the pilot reporting in.

I spent way too many hours flying from Chicago to LA, or Chicago to NY. Cross county would have kept me up all night.

Here you go. These are on the lowest settings possible, FWIW.

Thanks! Pretty good, guessing it’s not  custom mapped.

I’m guessing it’s gonna be a long wait. A year?

Ok damn it. I gotta try this simulator. My kid has a serious gaming PC and I’m sure this will look awesome. Maybe they’ll make this for VR Oculus Rift?

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
