      Yes I was thinking of picking it up since TGC 2019 kind of drives me crazy, but I’m a bit nervous to do so seeing that.

      Interestingly this part of the website is still working: http://social.perfectparallel.com/

        It is back. They've been having hosting issues but not going anywhere, per Andrew over there.

        Perfect Parallel Web Site - posted in News and Information: Many apologies for all the issues we have been having with the web site over the last couple of weeks.  We have also being going through a DNS issue where our servers keep being redirected.  We hope we have now resolved this issue. In a couple of months we will be transfering the server to a more reliable hosting platform.  Once again our sincere apologies...

            "In a couple of months we'll be transferring over to a more reliable hosting platform" I wonder if this will be in conjunction with a need being driven by the release, or pending release of PG2? I don't see how they're generating much in the way of revenue with the current title on the PC to justify a change.

            Not being plugged into the Trackman scene, I have no feel for what's happening there or how it could potentially affecting a PG 2 release. I've just lost 99% of any expectations I had for a PC release of PG 2.

              Perfect Golf gets 3D rough! I just learned of this development in a course discussion thread. The 3D rough comes courtesy of DirectX 11 Grass Shader, recently added Unity asset. Looks pretty good and could resurrect this game quite a bit.

                Will it ever come out for the consoles onlooker?

                  No..

                  Trackman bought Perfect Parallel in late 2017.

                  Perfect Golf v1 hasn’t been meaningfully updated since January of 2018 and on the PC (non Trackman Sim users) it is essentially abandonware at this point.

                      So does this mean course makers can use this tool for re-doing present courses and/or doing future courses.

                        Yes, they can do both, but they have to buy the DirectX 11 Grass Shader tool, which is $20. That sounds pretty reasonable to me.

                          Interesting development in the Perfect Golf world today... an announcement was made that in the Simulator section of Perfect Golf's forum that Trackman would be pulling the plug on Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf sim passes one year from now. There was some uncertainty among JNPG PC players as to how this would affect them. Mike Jones, of Perfect Parallel, posted the following message to respond officially to that:

                          "This has nothing to do with PC game players it's just a sim pass thing. I'm really sorry for Zmax and all the guys at OGT who have done an amazing job over the years but if you think about it, it's a logical decision from Trackman and if anything IMO makes a new game more likely now for PC/Console."

                          Does this possibly enhance the chances of seeing a Perfect Golf 2 on the PC, and as Mike also hinted, console version as well?

                            Got a question here about Perfect Golf that maybe bluengold34_OS can answer: does Trackman own Perfect Parallel, or just the game, Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf? I'm thinking it must be the latter, otherwise Mike Jones wouldn't have said in the official forum that the ending of the Simulator Pass for Perfect Golf with Trackman next August would make a PC/Console version of Perfect Golf 2 more likely.

                              I got an answer to my question about who owns who in the Perfect Golf forum. Trackman actually owns Perfect Parallel and Perfect Golf/Jack Nicklaus Perfect Golf. If there is to be a Perfect Golf 2, it will have to be with Trackman's consent. I understand that Andrew Jones and Mike Jones each work for Trackman now. As Mike said last week, the ending of the Simulator Pass next August for JNPB probably makes a Perfect Golf 2 for the PC and consoles more likely. I guess nobody would be in a better position than he to make a statement like that?

                              The ending of the Simulator Pass for JNPG courses on the Trackman simulator probably means that all Trackman courses will be proprietary, in-house courses going forward. I'm just trying to envision a company that's used to selling mega-buck simulators and commanding costly subscription fees, being willing to spend development dollars and resources on a small market golf game for the PC and console(s)?

                                Seems unlikely.....unless they want to incorporate the existing game into their simulators somehow to further 'game-ify' golf practice/simulators?
