Mio,
#1 - I havent been able to figure out yet why it works on mine and doesnt work for some of you as far as the opacity goes. I will work on a fix for it and let you know soon.
#2 - I always play in windowed mode so i had not taken that into consideration, but I do have a simple solution for that problem, instead of playing in "fullscreen" mode, you can simply use the maximize window button in the top right of the game window. This will allow the window to be almost the same size so it will not screw with your meter timing and there is only about 5 pixel difference between the 2 modes. You would probably have to re-create the rulers in order for the pixel count on them to line up correctly but this is a quick fix for the problem. If however you would rather play in fullscreen mode, I can find a way to make it work properly, but I would probably have to find a different program other than First Impession.
If you guys give me a day I can come up with some alternate options for the opacity AND the fullscreen to work properly, I will re-post these options on the original posting when they are complete.
And as far as your question "is this your first account" In all honesty, yes. The simple fact of the matter is that I signed up, watched the demo thing you have to go through in order to play your first round and thought "well how am i suppose to know how far I'm hitting the ball without some sort of tick markers on the meter like every other golf game Ive played has". So before even attempting to play a round and start trying to get a feel for the proper meter for certain distances, I decided to try to see if there was some sort of program that aids you that someone else happened to create for the game (just so that I wouldnt have to go through the process of doing it myself, which i already knew how I just didnt want to have to if it was already done for me). So I came across WGTCaddy and downloaded the free version, saw that it was an outdated peice of crap and you had to pay for the version that would even help a little. I decided that it was a waste of time and since I didnt see anything else I would just simply create my own. Took me about 30 minutes to get the kinks out of it, and then began to play a round. My first few rounds were barely making par because I wasnt used to the wind and elevation allowances, but after taking a few notes on how the ball reacted when hit at what should have been the proper % on the meter and instead came up short or shot long, simply made the proper adjustments. When it comes down to it this is simply a game of numbers (and a little educated guessing for the wind).
I know I dont have to exdplain myself, but for those who were curious, there's your answer in black and white. Simple summary, I started off "cheating" and then found out later I in fact WASNT cheating because its completely permissable by WGT Terms.
