SkyTrak PC v2.5 Pre-Release

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Hi all,

I want to go ahead and get this out to you before the official release of v2.5. Just as whenever I've done this before, PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT CUSTOMER SUPPORT with any issues/questions regarding this release. I will do my best to manage everything here on the forum - ideally in this thread. There may be a few things that will change before the official release (small stuff like defaulting to follow the ball view for the Skills Assessment), but this is pretty much it. Also keep in mind that for right now, all greens inherit the same ground condition as is set for the fairway, so set that accordingly during the Skills Assessment (just like you do now for Practice Greens). FYI, green mapping with separate firmness will follow v2.5 very quickly - this will apply everywhere in the app.

V2.5 Release Notes

- Game Improvement module added to the main dashboard - featuring the brand new Skills Assessment
- Added 4 new data parameters to Shot History: Max Height, Angle of Descent, Flight Time, and PTI (Smash Factor)
- Added new ‘Dynamic Handicap’ scoring system within Skills Assessment
- Slight adjustment to 45 degree camera view to now include entire ball flight
- Added quick ‘Return To Range’ button for all menus
- Improved carry distances for low launch/low spin shots
- Database refactoring
- Numerous bug fixes and behind-the-scenes work.

Great stuff can't wait to give it a go.

[MainStGolf]

Just went through the Skills assessment. FREAKING AWESOME!!!

[Wyzyguy]

Hello, Please expand on this a little. The Dynamic handicap is interesting. Thanks

[TorchRedRob]

Skills assessment = can't wait to try

Peak height & angle of descent = THANK YOU!!!! Awesome!

[Joko]

Sounds cool. Will give it a try this weekend!

What is the skills assessment - something similar to trackman combine? My skytrak is in the shop for repairs (sad face) with no idea when I'll be receiving it. I wouldn't think it would take long to repair a mini-usb port...

[SkyTrak_Seth]

PM me your details and I'll check status. That should be a fairly quick turnaround.

[Tekbud]

Not sure if you got involved or not SkyTrak_Seth, but I received a shipping notice today. If it was you, thanks! Can't wait to have it back I haven't gone this long without hitting balls now in almost 2 years!

Just installed it. At least for me,

A new icon is created but the text under the icon does not indicate version, but easily fixed.
Your login info has to be typed over again. I keep mine in the skytrak box which is under behind the PC
The opening screen has a list of yardage - 60,70,80,100,120, etc. For each yardage you assign a club, and how many shots to take. I did 60,70,80,90,100,120,150,170 with 3 shots each. You can delete or reply the last shot - I like the reply. After I hit 3 shots at 60 the clear screened waited 10 seconds and went to next distance and so on.

I did not see a randomize function - for example, hit a 60 yard, then a 120, then a 100 - flightscope does well here.

I like it, could it be better - sure but most things can. I like the fact new versions are coming out and really at a good pace. if they keep this up the annual fee is easier to life with - at least I think so.

thanks Seth for letting us play with this early and for all you do.

On a side note - I just checked my email and my new enclosure will be here on Saturday - hopefully the turf makes it as well. I will post some before and after pictures.

Many thanks Seth.

This is awesome Seth! Looking forward to testing it out =)

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Awesome feedback so far, guys. Yeah, this skills assessment is just the first installment of Game Improvement in the app. We'll be adding to this (like the randomize feature) and also adding more ways to improve your game using SkyTrak. Like I said, we will be following up this official release soon with a few of those changes along with some others throughout the software. It's been grueling getting this foundation built...but now comes the fun part

[goodmatt78]

How is smash factor calculated?

Also, when will screen offset be available?

Thanks for the great work!

[Wyzyguy]

Hello Seth, I can run either iOS or PC. I prefer iOS... If I try this pre release pc will I have issues going back to the current Ipad app?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Nah, you'll be fine. No changes in firmware or anything. You won't be able to see any Skills Assessment stuff in your current iPad History, but it will be waiting in SkyGolf 360 for you when it goes live for iOS.

[Wyzyguy]

Would love to see some screen shots of the new improvements... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[MainStGolf]

These are some of the screen shots of the Skills Assessment. I did a quick one with my old set of clubs. This is from that quick session. Did a longer 10-shot sessions with my gaming set last night. This is a big-time update. The randomize shot would be cool, but this feature is a game-changer addition for SkyTrak!

[Wyzyguy]

Thanks for posting. Wow.. Very impressive. Can't wait to give it a go.
