Visual Settings (Settings)

Visual Settings:

Welcome to the Visual Settings tab. This menu will control many of the functions for how the game looks. We’ve separated these settings into three sub tabs. Below, we’ll go over where to locate each setting, and what it does.

User Interface:

Enable Gimme Circle: This turns the visual circle on in game. Turning it off does NOT negate a gimmie from happening. It just visually turns it off on your screen.

Show Aim Indicator: While aiming you can optionally turn on/off the large billboard type aim indicator. The aim indicator will be a Red framed box verses the indicator for the pin location, which is a white framed box.

Show Ball Ready Indicator: This option will show an on screen “ready” indicator for when your launch monitor sees the ball and is ready for a shot to be taken.

Distance Display: A small window can be shown that displays distance next to and slightly below the ball on the game screen while it is in motion. Enabling this option turns it on. Then select either distance to the pin (count down) or distance you hit the ball (count up).

Scorecard After Hole: The amount of time the scorecard will display between holes. If left at zero, the scorecard will not be displayed between holes

Hide User Interface On Shot: Selecting this will hide all the Heads-up Display on the screen when a shot is made. The only thing shown is the Golf Course, nothing else. This results in a very immersive experience.

Show Up Next Message: This is an optional visual effect which will display the name of the next player to hit.

Match Settings Condensed View (Beta): This Beta option allows you to condense all of the Match Settings options into cells for potential easier viewing.

Hide Distance Banner On Green: This turns on/off the banner when your ball reaches the green

Show Club Selector: Some launch monitors require you to select a club before striking the shot. Others do not require you to do so. Hiding the Club selector is for the latter group. The selector is in the lower left-hand corner of the GSPro Game Screen.

Narrow UI Mode: Some people are forced to use a 1:1 aspect ratio in their Sim Setup. This will attempt to optimize GSPro for that.

Disable Main Menu Video: This setting will turn off the video in the background of the main menu, and set a still image instead.

Camera Options:

Follow Camera: The default is for this to be turned on. Sliding the slider will adjust how soon the camera takes off after the ball takes flight. Disabling this will result in the ball flying down the fairway (we hope LOL) and your view remaining in the location you struck it at, just like in real life golf.

Hole Intro Fly To Animation: This adds a bit of visual pizazz to the transition between holes. When turned on it will float you up above the tee box and down towards your hitting location. Giving you a view of the entire hole. Likewise, you can also select “Green to Tee” and it will also fly you from the green you just putted out on to the next Tee box.

Ball Trail Color: This defaults to Red, some simulator setups don’t allow this to appear clearly and so there are 3 other colors to choose from; blue, green and yellow.

Ball Trail Size: The trails can be made to be standard or thick. Some simulator setups make the ball trail difficult to see and this should help in that regard.

Offset:

Screen Offset: There are some folks whose room and Simulator configurations require them to have to hit off center of their screens. This creates a very strange visual effect. Hitting the ball into the side of the screen and the ball launching in the middle of the screen. To correct that, the game can slide, or “Off Set” the middle ball line either to the left or right, depending on your setup. This requires a bit of math if you measure in inches and feet. To use this, click on the slider below “screen Offset” to Enable it. Enter in the width of your screen and then if the amount of Offset needed for either Left or Right-handed players. Convert all numbers to millimeters.

Putting Screen Offset: There are some users who may only need to create this offset while putting. To accommodate this, we also offer a putting only offset. Allowing the offset to only change when the putter is selected.

NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO CONFIGURE OFFSET IN THE LIGHTING EFFECTS SETTINGS (Keyboard shortcut “L” while in game).
