Official v3.2 SkyTrak App Release

[brg1875]

Just got an update on my Android device for 3.2.2 and firmware update to 1.7 curious to see what the release notes say! The Android update just says "General Hardware Optimizations."

[Greasegun]

Never had game improvement plan. Used to be able to use the 50 shot feature.

Cheers Seth, yeah I tried several positions in the case before I realised there were screws to secure in the correct position after that it has been very good regards misreads. I just need to learn to swing properly indoors now, I always seem to pull to the left and cant get distance on longer irons but im hoping it will come in time.

With regards the USB length it worked pretty good for the most part on the 5m extension but network mode seems to be better for me so I will stick with that.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Congrats! Yeah, sounds like maybe the unit wasn't fully seated in that case until you screwed it down.

Also, the longer the USB cable, the more chance for signal interruption or static issues. Glad you are up and running!!

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Greasegun, to me it sounds like you don't have a Game Improvement Plan. I saw where you mentioned somewhere else about only having access to the basic practice range. Do you think maybe your subscription ran out?

Thanks mate

Hi all, im pretty new to the golf sim world and these forums. I thought id post my experience with the limited time ive spent hitting balls on the latest update although I cant really compare it to any previous versions as Ive not had going for long.

After the update I had just received the FMJ protective metal case, I was getting consistent misreads but this was due to placement in the case as after I went back to the packaging and found the 3 screws and screwed the unit to the case I have almost no misreads whatsoever in the Skytrak app. When I do have a misread it is usually down to a poor shot. I have started to use wifi direct and that has been more consistent for me than usb direct, possibly because the usb was on a 5m extension?

Welcome to GSF, and congratulations on your ST purchase!

SkyTrak_Seth Just an update. Still using 32 bit.
I tried the skytrak again tonight without the protective metal case, and had 3 noreads in first 7 attempts. and 4 in the first 13. Its always on well struck shots. It picks up any fat, thin, hook or push just fine but if I nail it... nothing. After hitting the shot the top light is red and the laser is off, for 3 to 5 seconds, but no read. Before hitting shot, all 3 lights green. So much for the theory that the case was the culprit.

I was frustrated after that so went to pitch shots 50 yds, and it even no read one of those, but only 1 of 20.

Using nice new B330s balls. Logo pointed toward unit, directly on red dot. Indoors, no direct sun. Unit set level with mat but not on mat. I dont know what else to do.

SkyTrak_Seth I checked again and there is definetly no option for 50 shots under session settings. Only single shot. If there is a way to post a pic here i will show you. Any idea?

So the disconnects only happen on Win10? If it goes RRG, then that means the computer has dropped the connection to the SkyTrak Wi-Fi. If it happened on all your devices, then I would say maybe it's a faulty Wi-Fi module on the unit itself. But the fact that it's only on the Win10 computer makes me think that the computer is hopping over to another network. When you drop connection in the app, can you take a look at the computer's Wi-Fi list and see if it reconnected to your home network?

I upgraded Win10 laptop to v3.2.1 64-bit for the tests. Below are my observations with latest version:

1. Connected via USB mode
- Hit 54 shots with 9i & 6i
- 3 noreads and zero RRG state change
- This I can live with

2. Switched to WiFi Direct Mode
- Hit 18 shots then the laptop crashed and SkyTrak's LEDs changed to RRG
- Rebooted laptop and power cycled SkyTrak

3. Continued with Direct Mode
- Hit 117 shots with wedge, 9i, 6i
- 4 or 5 noreads and 3 RRG state changes
- Each time I verified that laptop's WiFi still connected to SkyTrak instead of another AP
- Session was re-established in 6-8 seconds which is much better than previous sessions under v3.2 and earlier
- Note that earlier tests were done with 32-bit versions

All in all I'm impressed with the latest version. Thank you for your hard work, Seth!

Is it to be expected that Direct Mode won't perform consistently, e.g. fewer RRG state changes, as USB mode?

It does default to single tracer after upgrade - (the offset changes too as does the altitude etc.) but post-upgrade I always put them back again to where I like them. The 50 shot tracer option is definitely OK in the new upgrade - I just hit 50 shots with that option and they all showed fine. The drop down menu has all the usual options.

[Greasegun]

Actually when I drop down the menu the only option is now single shot.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

It's still there. Must have just defaulted to Single Tracer on the upgrade. You can change this in the in-game setting menu in the upper right.

[Greasegun]

What happened to the option to leave 50 shot traces on screen in practice mode? This was on of my favorite features....
