    @WGTadmin2,

    So there won't be increased heavy wind speeds on the non links courses?

    I can see this wind indicator changing no problem, it flicks left/right or up/down, almost like a needle on a Radioactive meter. Its a Very subtle movement, and i can see why some would not see this. Thanks for acknowledging that we did have this conversation, but it was mentioned that there was a higher force wind, that deviates in strength and direction in there, and not just by a little flick of the meter we can see on the normal gameplay screen.

    Your reply here tells me that you are not willing to release the information you told me, or even deny it exists. I know what i heard, and i only wish now that i had recorded the conversation we had. I am not going to get anywhere here, so will have to leave it at that.

    I like Andys idea of a chart to indicate strengths of the wind, and at what heights. A little extra information is always welcome to those who play this great game.

     First it was if you ding, then WGTadmin2 says, " the indicator is an approximation of the general direction and speed of the wind from 25 feet above where you are standing and up"..... WTF.......NOTE : I am not standing , I'm sitting at my computer as I am sure everyone else is and have only the wind info that is posted by the meter, flickering or otherwise.

    IF you want to make it as close to real as possible, let us see the flag blowing on the screen and the tops of the trees moving as well as a hat flying off a spectator and let us throw grass in the air..... and consult with the dumbest caddies in the world we are supplied with.......oh my nerves!!! 

    I had a friend of mine over, tickettoride, at my house playing Bethpage with me on my other computer in the same room. I had an approach shot on #7, the par 4. I had a wind reading of 9mph against me at the 7 side of 6 on a clock face so I did not move the cursor, which was pointed directly at the hole......... I dinged the shot and he saw my setup heard the ding and we both said at the same time......WTF, because the ball landed about 2 yards below the hole and stopped dead in the rhubarb between the edge of the green and the right side bunker again ....WTF..........that's a 9mph, at least, in a 3 o'clock position.

    Just sayin'

    By 2 yards below the hole I mean where it stopped dead in the rhubarb in relation to the pin.

    There's a setting for this in the game options. "Show flag animation."

    The only flag option in this game is to remove or replace it and that function is not in the menu under game settings and surely you must know I mean:  blowing in a direction and velocity that would be an indication of wind speed and direction.

    if you click on menu under your user name there is no selection for options until you first click on game settings then the option window opens and nowhere is there an option for "show flag animation" or anything else pertaining to the flag. The categories under display are:

    ball speed boost

    use ball speed boost

    flash quality

    show wgt lessons button

     distance markers

    aerial multi-cam

    aim arc

    The next options are audio and the advanced options are avatar angles and background loading.........Note these are the new options since the ridiculous "BALL SPEED BOOST " started this month.

    If there is another place to find game settings or game options please inform me.

    There is a scroll bar on the right of the options panel.  Scroll down to view more Display options.
