SkyTrak and The Golf Club (TGC) simulator build

SuperStroke
I am looking into the skytrak upgrade from my current optishot. Can someone give me some info on what the best simulator package would be for multi player mode? I typucally have friends over when I play and we compete against each other. Also, I will be using it on a laptop mirroring to projector. I see the wgt doesn't support anything except iOS and is single player only. Thanks for any help!

Also, I read about online tournaments that happen quite often using jnpg. Does this support mukti player format? In other words, could a group of four of us at NY house compete in the online tournament simultaneously?

My dad has SkyTrak and TGC. With TGC you can play match play, stroke play, stableford and 4 ball. If we have 4 players we usually play 4 ball. Don’t have any experience with JNPG so can’t help you there.

Thank you. Any experience with the online tournaments? What's your overall thoughts on the setup? Seem pretty accurate?

I have not played the online tournament. My dad has played a couple and liked them. Overall thoughts are the graphics are pretty good, there are tons of great courses and I’d say it’s very accurate (putting being the least accurate). Now I wouldn’t compare it to a GC2, but SkyTrak does just fine for me. Distances, shot shape all pretty good.
 
Thanks again! Thats also what I'm trying to weigh. If the gc2 is worth double the price. I tend to get paralysis by analysis when researching stuff like this!!

Yes as long as they all have a separate account on the online golf tour. Jnpg is superior to TGC for multiplayer for sure.

Gc2 is worth the price if you want to play online tournaments for sure.

Hey ya'll! I finally got back to Indiana. My wife agreed to the 1 term and condition of moving back, I'm building a simulator. Started with the idea of a small OptiShot setup, but it ballooned into it's current state with my father-in-law and uncle-in-law wanting to get in on the action.

Here's what we're working with.


SkyTrak
TGC
R-Motion swing analyzer
Epson 1060 Home Cinema 3LCD (didnt have BenQ in stock)
TrueStrike L/R hitting mat
Carlofet hitting screen
SportNetting net
Blackout mat from Amazon
Custom cage
Custom computer

Picking up the pipe/fittings today for the cage. We are going to be building that Friday/Saturday. Hopefully golfing on Sunday!

How much money do you have invested in your setup if you dont mind me asking?
 
After it was all said and done, we're sitting around $7,000ish give or take.

Rough estimate though...
$3200 SkyTrak, TGC, and R-Motion
$1200 Hitting mat area
$1700 Computer/projector/cabling
$1000 netting + cage + screen + everything else
 
Here are a couple pictures of things finished.

The bottom corner of the netting I'm re-securing this weekend so it'll be flat again.

Thanks!

Yea I dont think I'll ever own another hitting mat. Its so comfortable to hit off of. Its deceiving to only hit one 120 (50-60% rough, etc..) when you feel like you flushed it though.
