What Golf Simulator Software Works with the FlightScope Mevo Gen2?
Tired of launch monitors brands charging you to use third-party sim software? How does no native subscription sound? If either of these interest you, check out this quick read on what you can play with the very affordable Mevo Gen2!
As FlightScope’s new portable and affordable flagship, the Mevo Gen2 carries on with the exact same golf simulator software compatibility options as its wildly successful predecessor, the Mevo Plus.
And that means lots of choices for Mevo Gen2 users.
No, FlightScope does not have its own native simulator golf course library the way that some competitors like SkyTrak, Foresight, or Uneekor do. Instead, FlightScope’s opened their devices to free connection with all of the third-party options that sim golfers use. You even get an E6 Connect starter pack of eight courses with a Mevo Gen2 purchase.
And notice I said free connection. FlightScope doesn’t charge an additional fee to access those third-party software platforms the way that other launch monitor manufacturers do. That’s another big selling point for FlightScope.
So, what are those third-party golf simulator software options? And what will you have to pay to play their golf courses? What about the computer or mobile devices required to run each of those different software packages?
That’s what we’re covering here. Everything you need to know about your sim software options if you own or plan to buy a FlightScope Mevo Gen2.

The FlightScope Mevo Gen2 Gives You Golf Simulator Software Options
If you’re looking for a launch monitor with its own built-in native golf simulator software, the Mevo Gen2 isn’t the right choice.

As it always does, it comes down to what you want. And the Mevo Gen2’s flexibility makes it potentially appealing to a wide range of users.
So, choose the software choice that suits you best. And, if you change your mind and want to try something different down the road, you’ll have that option with the FlightScope Mevo Gen2.
