SkyTrak v3.4.1 Official Release

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Hi Everyone,

As you all know, this has been quite a wait - thanks to all of you for your patience! There are a lot of backend changes that needed to happen for v3.4.1, and thus we will be rolling this release out over the next couple of days. I wanted to start with the forum and give you guys first crack at it before it goes live to the public. So below, you can find the PC download links for 32-bit and 64-bit. Please give this a go and let me know if you run into any issues. Assuming all goes smoothly, we will roll out iOS and Android beginning tomorrow.

v3.4.1 Release Notes

- Added support for multiple accounts to aid in switching back and forth easily between users and for multiplayer challenges.
- Added the ability to create a custom golf bag in Profile. You may toggle to this bag in the Practice club selection popup.
- Improvements to high ball speed measurements (150mph+).
- Fixed Dispersion Circle display bug in shot plotting screen.
- Fixed LH display bug in Shot History.
- Fixed delete shot bug in Practice Greens.

PS - It's GREAT to be back!

[Countpyro]

Isn’t today yesterday’s tomorrow.... lol

[GungHoGolf]

Yes it is. But this announcement and thread has taken place this evening.

[Kevin_C]

Will this update have any impact or issues with TGC2019? I don’t use the Skytrak range that often and don’t want to mess up TGC2019

[Morini]

I assume that the high ball speed improvements are relevant to TGC2019 as well.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

I mentioned it in another comment, but this release will not affect TGC. Once this is fully out, we will then distribute a new SDK to all sim partners to take advantage of the high ball speed fix.

[Morini]

Welcome back, Seth. Thanks for sharing the great news.

- Improvements to high ball speed measurements (150mph+).

I will take any improvement. I did note that while most issues said "fixed" this one says "improvement". Probably safer to call it that, but I truly hope it brings low ball speed level accuracy into the higher ball speed range.

Who has a TM/FS/GC2/Quad and high ball speed to boot so they can test for us?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Just semantics on my part. The mild discrepancy that started around 150 and increased exponentially as speeds increased is definitely fixed.

[Morini]

Well that is incredible news then Seth, as it makes the ST a complete solution. This is absolutely huge among serious sim and game improvement customers. Well done dev team.

[Celeras]

Great to have you back Seth! Excited to test out the ball speed improvements.. really glad it made the cut.

Same issue mentioned earlier. I didn't receive any error about my database dropping, however definitely noticing some gaps in the history. I only seem to have 2019 dates, data synced check mark is checked. In the app I have 2 pages of 2019 practice entries, on SkyGolf website I have 41 practice sessions for 2019 so that should be 5 pages. So its only a subsection of that year and nothing from 2020/etc. I did back up my etrgolf.db so if you want me to try something with it let me know (put it back and see if it restores the history?).

Also minor thing: I am currently offered "page 2" on my Challenges tab, but when I click next it is blank. Probably somewhat related to the missing entries Id guess. Screenshot attached.

[edit] New find: Trouble dragging clubs into the bag when I got to 12. The last two wont respond to drag and drop. Seemed to get a little laggy. I eventually got them in by really holding down the click before moving (previously they were all just quick flicks), but it didnt save and when I went back in I was at 12 in the bag again. I can record this if its helpful.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Thanks for the feedback! To me, it sounds like it may just need a little more time to sync. Try closing and re-opening again. As far as the club dragging, you definitely need to hold down the click on a club along the bottom, drag it to an empty spot above, see the spot highlight green, and then release the click. Can't go too fast

[Celeras]

[edit] moved this post in new reply below, couldnt tag for some reason and didnt want seth to miss it

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Try relaunching the app and see if the sync goes through. If not, let me know. We are monitoring your account and don't see any errors. Also, try hitting a few shots in practice on the new version and see if those new shots sync to the cloud.

[Albie999]

Downloaded and updated. Just wondering what happened to the club head data that they were originally going to add in ... is that there?

Also, my data synced notification, is showing a no entry sign ... any idea? - scratch the last bit, just rebooted, gone back in and it is syncing now

[SkeetShooter]

When did you hear that they were going to add in club head data? ST doesn't monitor the head... it calculates potential club head data based on flight, spin, and speed of the ball.

[Zarakoff]

What do I need to download for my laptop 32 or 64 bit version ??
Thanks

[Jason Penner]

Only you can answer that question nobody else knows what you are running.
Windows settings- about this computer And then you should say weather you are running 64 or 32

[SkeetShooter]

Right Click on your windows start button and select "System" that will bring this "About" window up... You are more than likely running a 64 bit.

[Paul Logue]

Anyone with ball speeds over 150 mph try out the update yet?

[SimJim]

SkyTrak_Seth Will the 150+MPH Ball speeds being fixed also transfer over to TGC2019?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Actually not at the moment. Once this release is fully out there and proven to be working well, we will need to distribute a new SDK to all of our simulation partners. When that time comes, it will be a simple drop-in and will not take long at all to make the change.

[Neepster]

Great to see an update - will try it out tonight.

SkyTrak_Seth I appreciate you will likely not have a definitive answer, but now this version is out there, do you expect the next version (improved graphics etc) to be hot on its heels?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

I certainly don't have a definitive answer on timing, but my plan is to do a follow-up release to this one with small fixes and then follow that up with 4.0.

[Shipwreck34]

SkyTrak_Seth is there any list of tests that the community can perform to help expedite the process? Definitely glad to have these fixes, and would certainly love to see them in TGC2019 ASAP.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Just need to make sure that everything works properly with the multi-user support and bag management before launching this release publicly. But regarding the question about TGC, it would be nice to have the high ball speed fix validated as it looks like several users have already done. That's the only piece of this that will carry over to TGC and other sim partners.

[SkeetShooter]

I played a few rounds in TGC last night. Ball on most shots seem to carry the same as before. I would say though it seemed to report a lower ball speed in TGC and estimated Swing Speed than in the ST Range. Not sure if that is a setting in tgc that is effecting that. I kept wind conditions to none

[Shipwreck34]

I got inundated with chores last night, and didn't get to play unfortunately. I did however install the update. Gave me the Database error GungHo documented. I couldn't hear the commentary so I don't know what the fix is yet. Will try to crank it up tonight! haha

I did get into the program after that, and verified that only a few of my stats remained. Just a session from the other day I think was left.

The only other issue I had was "grabbing" the club I had selected in My Bag and putting it into the bag. I'd have to click on it 3-5 times to get it to move. That was for every club. Perhaps the 'grab zone' is too small?

More testing tonight hopefully!

[mikewohlwend]

I am going to install the update when I get home tonight. Thank you SkyTrak_Seth

[mikestuewe]

Hit 5 shots with driver with ball speed between 164-166. Updated. 5 more with ball speed between 167-169.

same ball, same driver, same crappy swing

[GungHoGolf]

JackedUpSwing - he said in this post he went from 164-166 to 167-169 with the update.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Great to hear! Crappy swing and all

[caldiver]

Sign me up for this "crappy" swing as well! I'd be thrilled with even 155 mph ball speed.

[Celeras]

SkyTrak_Seth It's been a few hours without any additional history populating, but I will keep an eye on it if you think that is the issue. For what its worth I do get the "Data Syncing" hourglass every time I load the app, but it never brings anything.

Regarding the bag, I believe this is a genuine bug and not user error related to how long I held the click. Please see the attached video and note the Sand Wedge. I hold it for a very long time and it takes a while to grab it. And it actually finally does so on a fast click. It's a little flukey. It did save them this time though so I don't have to do it again.

Q&A is actually part of my job so if you have any additional instructions you want to throw my way feel free. Happy to help.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

See what happens if you try dragging the clubs from the bottom row more "up" first instead of diagonal right. I think it might be thinking you are trying to initially reorder them along the bottom.

[Celeras]

SkyTrak_Seth Nailed it, that helps a lot. Still have to hold the click a little longer sometimes but can get it every time going directly upwards.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Glad to hear! Maybe we need to rethink the "drop zone" so it is more obvious. I actually submitted a ticket to allow for shuffling clubs along that bottom row...I hope that will result in finding a good system to differentiate shuffling vs pulling clubs up into the bag. Stay tuned.
