  Flash zoom is still available, but do I post 'how to' here?

  I was just looking through my Awards, and noticed a couple of new ones in Courses relating to the new Best of Par 5 course. I'm curious, though, whether anyone will ever realistically have a chance to complete one of them.

  How many Hole-In-Ones have EVER been made on par 5 holes at WGT? Are there any replays available? Has each of the holes in the Best of Par 5 course been HIO'ed at least once? If it's mathematically impossible to HIO any single hole in the Best of Par 5 course (without a major program glitch), then the Best of Par 5 Ace Master award is unwinnable and should be removed.

  ScottHope:

  Windows Vista, 7 & 8 have a magnifier feature, accessible by holding down the windows key and pressing the '+' key.

  The amount of magnification can be adjusted by holding down the windows key and pressing the '+' or '-' keys.

  The magnifier can be switched between full screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F,  a smaller lens which follows the cursor by pressing Ctrl+Alt+L  or a static lens which can be dragged and docked to an edge of the screen by pressing Ctrl+Alt+D.  It is not as good as the flash window zoom but its better than nothing at all.

  I'm sorry Scott, but when you press the Windows key with Vista Ultimate, the Start window pops up

  Appreciate the effort of trying to stop cheating but i don't believe in any of this explanations. What Shoe is saying never happened to me and any of people I know + just think about that guys any of you ever was booted from game because of explanation what Shoe gave us? I don't think so and i don't see any of people here on forums thanking that zoom options was removed because they asked about that. WGT made a change for few people and ripped off the rest of us large of majority who are using zoom option on regular basics to have a better view on approaches, setting spin and on putting. It's an invaluable tool so please WGT give us this back.

  Sorry Lisa but you need to hold down the windows key then press the '+' key.

  Danny, the flash zoom menu is still available but I'm not sure if I should post how to access it here.

  It seems most who are looking for the Zoom feature back are big earners. Anyone care to share how the zoom can help your game? Just asking, thats all.

  WGTdbloshoe:

  It is not about an individual player clicking the buttons by mistake, it is about players who used the cheat to take credits from others.... And the fact that we stopped a player from using the cheat to steal credits is a good thing whether or not the zoom button is there or not.

  It's a good thing to stop cheats of course but you can do this and still leave the zoom option available in the contextmenu. Simply set zoom to true and the options you want to disable to false.

  Best thing after the update is a real smooth meter. WGT has given much thought to the meter problem and address it in a good manner.Its going good, until now :)

  Enjoyed the par 5 course a lot.I have experienced those strange kickouts from games a number of times.So its good to know WGT tracked the problem and fixed this error.

  But i am real curious about the zoom thing.Never used it and to be honest first time i came to know that it even exist.Some people are making too much a deal about it.Why?

  Its a real good upgrade by WGT IMO.

  I like the smoother meter and glad to see zoom was taken off..Never had zoom, on real golf so why here..And if it helps to stop the unfair play,then leaving it off will be fine here..Once again my meter on Maxthon has NEVER been this smooth, Ron
