SkyTrak PC & Android software

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Hey all, just a very quick update on v2.0 and PC. Given the success and popularity of the open WGT beta period, I decided to hold back v2.0 and PC to add a few more features and tidy things up a bit. The plan right now is to submit iOS to Apple tomorrow. PC does not need any approval period, so I can just post a download link. I'll make sure and post all the release notes and instructions - I've actually had that post written for well over a week

Looking forward to both @Seth - Thanks. Out of curiosity will this include putting support or require a FW upgrade? Thanks

[ryanoneill1]

Are you saying that we can now use a PC to connect to Skytrak instead of using the iOS?

[Joko]

Please don't hold things back... unless it is seriously needed. I appreciate your work and communication here, but none of us want to hear that you are holding things back

[wbond]

SkyTrak_Seth Will that link come out today? Also, where can we see PC requirements for whatever is being released? This is great news, I'm not an apple fan.

Seth, will the PC version allow us to play WGT on a PC as well. I have had limited success with the network mode.

Thanks.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Ha. There's lots of reasons for holding back...complicated but totally worth it in this instance. I'll probably post the PC thread tomorrow, but we'll see how things go today.

As far as WGT on PC, currently no. Their PC play is browser-based and that's a whole other beast to tackle as far as device communication goes. .

[Spudly]

Yeah, I figured as much, wishful thinking, thanks.

Hey seth, love the good news. i might get a little greedy here but if WGT is not running on PC is there any Chance at all that Apple haters like me get the Chance to play it on Android before the end of the year? I know your vocus is on PC and Apple, And PC definatly is the most important for tgc and e6. Just wondering if Android is still in the picture

It just moved.

[YonexMan]

Sweet, Can't wait for the PC version. For those of us in Australia, it will certainly make things a lot easier and I'll be able to connect my projector back up in my home hitting bay again.

Seth,

Does this video mean it's close? Is that you?

Looks like the delay for E6 is around 3 seconds.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Still trying to get everything together to post the link today. Haha, no that's in the UK and not me, but he does bear a strong resemblance minus the bald spot...mine is only 80% as bald

Delay on my PC is between 2-3 seconds.

[ryanoneill1]

And what are you actually trying to release today? Is it v2.0 of iOS on a PC?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Yep, that's right. From here on out, all of our versions will be the same, just available on multiple platforms.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

That said, cutting it this close to the wire I think I'm going to apply my better judgement and post the thread on Monday morning. The simple reason being that I'm out of pocket all weekend and can't take the risk of something going wrong and not being able to address. I hope you guys understand but please be on the lookout first thing Monday.

[ryanoneill1]

Post it, its upgrades for a golf simulator. Trust me, if it doesn't work everyone will still be here Monday.

[Joko]

Yes post it with the disclaimer that you can't complain until next week.

[Ironstrokes]

Yea, post, and no complaints, this is gonna be a long weekend for all of us otherwise haha.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

I came back to work tonight for you guys to get it out and still don't feel 100% on the upgrade with PC to new firmware. What I want to avoid is you all getting stuck in 'device limbo'. I'm making sure the team irons it out over the weekend and I will be back at it first thing Monday. I really tried, but I need it to be right. There are huge changes here. I cannot thank you enough for your patience, and believe me when I say I'm looking out for your best interest.

[Ahusing]

First comment I have made. Bought my skytrak in Nov. Seth, you are doing a great job.

[Joko]

Fair enough. Glad you saw the desperation on our comments and even attempted to get it out. If it's not right its not right.

[paschmann]

Thanks SkyTrak_Seth - I understand your position!
