      • GS Pro (White icon, golf ball)

    • After opening FSX Play, click ‘Yes’ on the dialogue window that pops up.

    • System will default to ‘Ball Only Mode’ (Falcon LED glows Blue). We recommend to start play in this mode initially. This is a simple way to get a feel for the simulator tech and swing experience.
