Supported
FSX Play/2020/Pro (25 courses), GSPro, E6, Awesome Golf, Creative Golf 3D. All require Gold sub; first year included.
📋 The fine print
Gold subscription ($499/yr) required for club data and sim software after first included year. GSPro requires separate ~$250/yr subscription beyond Gold. Gold ($499/yr, first year included) unlocks club data, FSX suite, and sim software; ball data on-device without subscription.

Key Tradeoffs
GC3S uses identical triscopic three-camera photometric hardware to the GC3 and is described as delivering the same tour-validated ball and club accuracy; the differences vs GC3 are commercial (subscription model, 1-yr vs 2-yr warranty, added Bushnell LINK rangefinder integration), not measurement…

3 (triscopic / three high-speed precision cameras) cam · 0 (no radar — photometric camera system)…
Technology
Photometric (camera-based), NOT radar/doppler. Uses Foresight's "Triscopic" high-speed three-camera system — the SAME imaging hardware as the GC3 (confirmed across Foresight EU, Shop Indoor Golf, Carl's Place, PlayBetter, and multiple 2026 reviews). Three precision cameras…
Ball Data
Ball data (measured, no subscription needed for on-device display): ball speed, launch angle, side (azimuth) angle, backspin/total spin, side spin/spin axis, carry distance. Club data (measured, sticker-dependent, subscription-gated): club head speed, smash factor/efficiency,…
Club Data
Measured (camera-based) — but requires the included club-face stickers AND the active $499/yr Gold subscription to unlock. Club metrics: club head speed, smash factor/efficiency, club path, and angle

Native Foresight software (Gold subscription): FSX Play (with 25 included courses), FSX 2020, FSX Pro (performance analysis), Foresight Fairgrounds. Third-party (require the active $499/yr Gold subscription to enable; first year included):

Special Balls
NONE for ball data. No marked balls, no metallic spin stickers, and no proprietary balls are required to capture ball flight and spin — standard golf balls work (confirmed by Carl's Place and official Foresight help docs). The club-face…
Mounting
Side — sits on the ground beside the ball (to the side of the hitting position), not behind and not overhead. Aligned to the ball using the included alignment stick. Right- or left-handed by repositioning the unit to the appropriate side (cannot be shared by righties and lefties without moving it).
