Global Edition
Trackman has announced the release of Virtual Golf 3, the latest evolution of its industry-leading graphics engine, available exclusively on Trackman simulators worldwide.
The company says the VG3 is ‘a huge step forward in bridging the gap between outdoor and indoor gaming’, so every course has been rebuilt from the ground up to make gameplay ‘more immersive, more dynamic and more fun than ever’.
Included among the new features in VG3 that will change the way players experience indoor Trackman golf are:
- Enhanced atmospheric: See the changing weather, from morning fog to spectacular sunsets, all in stunning detail.
- Powerful cloud systems: Watch as the clouds form, move and disappear, creating an amazing and lifelike sky.
- An extended legacy library: Everything on the course, from the grass to the trees, has been meticulously recreated, allowing designers to recreate iconic courses with unparalleled precision.
- Details, details, details: VG3 is loaded with visual gems that will surprise and delight casual golfers, such as ball tracks in bunkers, divots, pitch marks, tire tracks, tee animations and much more.
- Continuous time of day: Start your round at any time and watch the sun move across the sky, at a fast pace to match the indoor game.
- Advanced green reading: Roll more putts with help from the updated green grid, which uses a color-coded heat map and directional dots to reveal all the nuances of the putting surface.
- Advanced Water Physics: Experience the thrill of water hazards with next-generation physics that bring waves, streams and lakes to life.
- Immersive 3D audio: Advanced audio technology surrounds the player with sounds that make every game scene feel alive.
“I’m very excited about the immersive reality that VG3 brings,” said Jakob Munk, head of indoor golf at Trackman. “But what excites me the most is the opportunity to improve the engine. It’s like getting a new car — the VG3 will take us to new heights, pushing indoor golf to the next level and beyond. Trackman customers will benefit from this in many future product releases and updates. “
To access the new VG3 courses, Trackman recommends all simulator owners and operators to upgrade to the latest version of Trackman Performance Studio (TPS 10) immediately.
