GCHawk - Stopped Producing Club Data in FSX Pro, FSX 2020, and FSX Play
Problem: The GCHawk has stopped producing the paid add-on club data when new or existing fiducials are put on the club face within the software.
Resolution: Something went wrong with the existing calibration files, and the GCHawk needs to be recalibrated using the GCHawk Calibration Application, which can be downloaded and/or updated via the GCHawks application section found in the support page here. Please ensure you are using the latest version listed on the support page before proceeding.
How To Recalibrate the GCHawk

b) Once you have opened up the %appdata% directory in your File Explorer, it will automatically bring you to the roaming folder. Click the "AppData" tab (as seen in Figure 2).
c) Double click on the "LocalLow" folder (see Figure 3).
d) Double click on the "ForesightSports" folder (see Figure 4).
e) Double click on the "GCHawkSetup" folder (see Figure 5).
f) Now, highlight every folder you see in this "GCHawkSetup" folder, right click on one of the highlighted folders, and delete all of them (see Figure 6).
