I only watched the trailer, but it appears to me as if the disc only flies perfectly straight. No turn, no fade, no change in direction at all. Is this true? If so, this will be something that DG fans will want modified.

Thanks for checking us out!

We have implemented several different properties on the disc including Speed, Glide, Turn, and Fade.

These properties will be different for each disc. Currently we have 1 putter, 1 mid-range, and 1 driver.

Throwing straight is dependent on these factors as well as timing of your release and relevant wind factors.

Our hope is that further down the road we can mimic many of the popular Disc Golf disc brands like Innova and Discraft and let you actually choose and play with these real discs in the virtual world including their unique flight ratings.

In addition, we've been working on a Disc Editor that can be used to modify and tweak discs to the players liking.

I hope this is what you were looking for. I appreciate the feedback! Let me know if you have any other ideas or recommendations.
