TechDisc offers a free Flight Simulator for anyone to use. Create virtual disc profiles with flight numbers and weight, then simulate throws to see how they behave. TechDisc users will see their real TechDisc throws upload automatically to the simulator. Modify metrics (speed, spin, hyzer angle, etc.) to understand their impact on flight.  

Flight simulations are based on physics equations. Real-world throws may be affected by additional factors such as disc wear, wind, elevation changes, and terrain. 

Using the simulator with manual input:

• Open to the Flight Simulator in a browser.

• Input your desired disc (speed, glide, turn, weight) and throw metrics (speed, spin, hyzer, etc)

• Tap "Simulate Throw" to see the flight path. 

View TechDisc Throws in the Simulator

1. Open to the Flight Simulator in a browser and log in to your TechDisc account.
2. Connect a TechDisc to the TechDisc mobile app or web app logged in to the same account
3. Throw! Any throw uploaded to your account will sync to the Flight Simulator in real time.

• Replay / Playback Speed: Replay the selected throw at the given playback speed
• Current Disc: The disc flight numbers and name (if using a saved disc preset) that was thrown for the selected throw
• Change Disc: Change to the next or previous saved disc preset on your account. Discs are ordered by speed. 
• Full Screen: The simulator takes up the entire screen. Does not work on iOS!
• Settings: Access the full settings menu for different display types and options.
  • Enabled in the simulator settings menu
    
    • Reverse Spin: Change the rotational direction of the simulated throw
    • Upside Down Disc: Change the orientation of the simulated throw to upside down
    • Flip Course: Flip any hole horizontally to see what it’s like to throw with the opposite hand.
      

      

    • Automatically Advance to Lie: continue playing the hole from the next lie after a throw 

Take a look at keyboard controls to use in the simulator. 

You can play the virtual holes using your TechDisc on the 3D simulator in the web app. 

Note: The 3D Simulator is not currently available on the Tech Disc mobile app. 

1. Go to techdisc.com log in to your TechDisc account.

2. Toggle from "Flight Path" to Simulator. This will default to our Field Work Scene.

See the full library of available holes and Stroke Play courses:

Note: On our free tier, you have access to our driving range, fieldwork scene, and one free vitrual hole. Upgrade to the Premium or Play Tier for full hole and course access.

Pro Tip: Even though the simulation is not on the mobile app, you can still use the phone app to connect to your TechDisc. A mobile device's bluetooth is much better than computers and the web app will update in real time with your throws on a bigger screen!
