GSPro is one of the most popular golf simulation software options out there and for good reason. There are hundreds of super realistic golf courses to play and plenty of options to connect and play with others online.
GSPro officially supports several launch monitors including Uneekor, Flightscope, and now Foresight!
If you own a Foresight GCQuad you may be a little skeptical about using it with GSPro but I’m telling you it is super simple to connect. As I outlined in GSPro vs FSX Play, it makes a great addition for less than the price of two FSX golf courses.
It should only take you about 15 minutes from the time you purchase GSPro on their website to download everything and start playing your first round using your GCQuad.
On this page I’m going to outline the steps for you.
- 1.) Purchase your GSPro license from Foresight Sports
- 2.) Download GSPro using the license key and instructions emailed to you.
- Join the Simulator Golf Tour’s Discord group.
- Existing GSPro Users Using Game Changer and Open API

1.) Purchase your GSPro license from Foresight Sports
You can purchase your subscription from Foresight Sportshere.
Since you are required to have a valid FSX license to use 3rd party software like GSPro you will need to enter your FSX 2020 or FSX Play license key during checkout.
Once Foresight validates that you have an license they will email you a $250 voucher that you can use on gsprogolf.com.
2.) Download GSPro using the license key and instructions emailed to you.
Once you’ve used your voucher to purchase your GSPro subscription you will receive an email from GSPro with a license key, a download link, instructions and a quick start guide.
That’s it, you’re done! Enjoy playing hundreds of golf courses on GSPro using your Foresight GCQuad. Start by reading our list of best courses on GSPro.
Join the Simulator Golf Tour’s Discord group.
It’s not required but I recommend joining the Simulator Golf Tour’s Discord group.
The Simulator Golf Tour is a separate organization that hosts competitive tournaments on GSPro. There are multiple tours you can join depending on your skill level or preferences.
Discord is essentially a website that hosts chat rooms and the Simulator Golf Tour uses Discord for most communication and discussion.
Joining the Simulator Golf Tour to play in tournaments requires a membership fee and is optional. Anyone can join the Discord (without paying) and this is where you’ll find plenty of GSPro discussion and community support.
You simply need to join the Simulator Golf Tour Discord group here: https://discord.gg/9yqFCBM

Existing GSPro Users Using Game Changer and Open API
Many Foresight GCQuad users were already using GSPro through its Open API connection and a community created app known as Game Changer.
After October 9th 2023 that method will no longer work and you will need to switch over to the official Foresight / Bushnell connection to GSPro.
To do this you will need an active FSX 2020 or FSX Play license.
1.) Use theGSPro License Update Toolto update your license from Open API to Foresight / Bushnell.
2.) Open GSPro and hit “Clear Settings” on the Open API connection window.
3.) Go into GSPro Settings > Game > Hit the “Reset GSPro Connect” button
4.) A new window will open and you should be able to choose Foresight as an option.
5.) The Foresight / Bushnell connect window will open. Click on the Connection Manager tab and connect your launch monitor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I have trouble connecting or using my GCQuad with GSPro?
The first place to ask is in the #quad-gchawk-discussion thread within discord. There are lots of GCQuad users there that are willing to help. Try using the search feature in discord first to see if someone has asked the same question before.
You can also try emailing GSPro support.
What if I have multiple launch monitors or change launch monitors in the future? Do I need to buy GSPro again?
No. Simply email GSPro support and let them know which launch monitors you have. They will add the correct connection options to your license. For example, you selected Flightscope when you purchased GSPro and now you want to add your Foresight GCQuad. Email GSPro Support and let them know you also have a GCQuad. They will add the Foresight connection option to your account. Once done, you can clear the settings in your GSPro Connect window, restart GSPro and choose Foresight to use your GCQuad.
Is GSPro worth it?
In my opinion, absolutely. I found it to run easier on my computer than FSX Play and for $250 I have access to over 600 golf courses with new ones being released constantly. I don’t think there is a better option for golf simulators and it’s only getting better.

Correct. See the section in the article with the heading Edit: March 2023. There you will find the link to a YouTube video that has the GameChanger download in its description. Everything else works just the same.

Maybe this image will help. Check the window at the bottom of this image. Both Launch Monitor and GSPro Open API should be highlighted green. If one of them is not green, that’s your problem. If it’s the launch monitor try a different connection method to your PC. If it’s the GSPro Open API – make sure GSPro is launched and the Open API connection window is open as well.
