What's new in GSPro 4.0

Unity 6 and the graphics options

GSPro now runs on Unity 6 and supports all three of Unity's rendering pipelines: BIRP, HDRP and URP. The game also gets in-game graphics settings, a field of view setting, an enhanced post processing option, and one-click sky and lighting settings. If you play on more than one display, the change log says the in-game display setting may need adjusting.

Arborist tree assets were updated for quality and performance. Two things aren't out yet. The OPCD course-building tools are due to reach everyone shortly, and more in-game elements, such as HDRP lighting controls, are listed as coming soon.

HD courses

GSPro 4.0 adds an HD collection filter to the course list. HD is the label on courses built for 4.0. The change log doesn't say what changes inside an HD course, so we haven't either. We keep a list of the ones in the directory on the HD courses page.

Physics 2

The physics system was reworked for better realism and a wider range of shot types. There are now course type settings for Bentgrass, Bermuda and Links. Related additions include dynamic water skipping, dynamic divots, tee marks and green marks, a smooth shot transition option, and updated putting auto aim. GSPro's Physics 2 notes go into detail.

Practice

On Course Practice now includes four training drills, called Play Out Hole, Approach and Chipping, Putting Challenge, and Target Golf. You can move the pin in practice with shift and a click, choose a player at the driving range, and use additional driving ranges.

Finding and playing courses

• A trending course option, a hide course option, and your own lists in course select.
• A default round settings option.
• You can rate a course at the end of the round.
• Putt Out / No Gimme, and double par as a concede option.
• A curve data tile, and the option to remove a club from your bag.
• A scorecard style option, a higher contrast player panel option, and a narrow UI scorecard adjustment.

Online play and SGT

You can register for Simulator Golf Tour inside the game, and the change log lists SGT events as included. Event listings now show the tournament date and leaderboard. Other additions are a weekly challenge, an optional community server, and the option to sync your handicap with GSPro Cloud.

Fixes

The release also fixes a long list of bugs, including problems with the mini map on Arborist courses, extreme sky settings, buried colliders, putting cup visuals, overhead bridge ball flight, tournament play, and the final to-par score on the scorecard. The full list is in the change log, which is also where later releases will show up.
