Article summary

Game:

This Game settings tab will control many of the global functions for your “In Game” experience.

Game:

Units: This setting changes your global measurement from either Metric or Imperial.

Altitude/Elevation: You can set the altitude in GSPro to your preferred number. For the most accurate data based on your location, set this number to the same elevation as your real time sim space.

MiniMap Location: Can be set to either lower LEFT or lower RIGHT.

Player Rotation Style: There are 3 distinct setting here:

  • Classic - Play the hole in the normal rotation, furthest from the hole goes next

  • Play Out Hole - Each player will keep playing their ball until it reaches the green. This will continue until all players are on the green. Then the furthest putt away will begin and all players will putt out, with the furthest from the hole going next

  • Putt Out - Each player will play from tee to holing out before the next it is the next players turn.

(Available in the Public Beta) Enable Ghost Play: When enabled, you are able to save and participate in turn based ghost play.

(Available in the Public Beta) Auto Putt Fixed Distances: With these two boxes, you can manually adjust the Auto Putt Fixed One and Two score circles to your desired distances.

Launch Monitor Carry: On or Off (default is off and should remain off unless there are specific needs otherwise)

Realism:

Realism: these settings allow you to adjust how forgiving GSPro Plays. There are various settings for how much side spin effects your ball flight (hooks and slices), how terrain penalties effect your ball (deep rough, etc) as well as distances (power boosting).

Ball Shape / Curvature: (SLIDER) from “Restricted -to- “Full”. This slider effects how the ball spin reported by the Launch Monitor actually effects the flight of the ball. Full is the default setting and is the most realistic. Restricted will reduce the effect of side spin the most. Sliding the setting will allow you to adjust the setting to the desired sweet spot.

Play Mode: can be set to Realistic or Casual

Realistic: Is the default setting which uses the all the launch monitor data and uses GSPro ball flight algorithms

Casual: Allows for some “Boost” in power to be added to the shots taken. You can limit the shot boost to driver only if desired. This slider is adjustable from “None” through “2x”

System:

Course Folder: This defaults to the Courses folder in the GSPro installation location (c:\gsprov1\core\gspro\courses\). If you have an alternate location, a second drive, etc. You can move the location to your other drives with this guide: How To Move Course Folder

Control Type: This allows you to switch between “Simulator” and “Mouse”. Simulator will populate your Connect option and allow play through a launch monitor while Mouse will allow you to play GSPro with nothing but a mouse and keyboard.

On Screen Keyboard (Beta): This setting overlays an on screen keyboard that can be used with only a mouse needed.

Activate Course Server: If you’ve been given a course server from a course designer, you will include it to your existing library of course libraries here.

Clear Cache: GSPro has an internal cache that stores game, course and system data. There are times when this cache needs to be cleared. For example, when you load up a new version of a course manually. Clearing the cache will ‘clear’ out any stored information of the old course with the same name and force the system to load up the new version you just installed.

Reload Courses: GSPro loads up the list of available courses when it begins. If by chance you added another course manually or added another course server to your list, you can force GSPRo to reload without having to restart the entire application.

Reset GSPro Connect: At times the “Connect” app can malfunction or not respond properly. Without having to restart the entire application, this will allow a fresh launch of the “Connect” app.

Download Latest Stable: If you have downloaded the Public Beta and would like to return to the current “stable” version. Clicking this button will do so upon the next start up of GSPro. The current stable version is the production version that all users get upon startup by default.

Download Public Beta: You are welcome to try an upcoming version of GSPro which is called “Public Beta”. It allows you to get a peek at the next upcoming release prior to the general public. There can be issue or bugs so keep that in mind. If you participate in the “Public Beta” please report any and all bugs or issue to Support.

Sounds:

GSPro Sounds: This slider will change the volume of in game sounds such as the ball landing on the ground, the ball falling into the hole, and more sounds included directly in GSPro.

Course Sounds: This slider will change the volume for course specific sounds such as wind, birds, flies, and more. (In general, most of the sounds you’ll hear in ambience while on course are specifically picked out and added by the course designer, so sounds may vary between courses)

Menu Sounds: This slider will change the volume for menu sounds such as the menu music, and interactive clicking above buttons.

Master: This slider will change the total volume for all sounds in GSPro.
