SkyTrak v2.5.1 Official Release for PC and iOS

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Hey all,

We are now live! Not a whole lot changed from the pre-release I posted a couple weeks back except for a few clean-up items. Hope you enjoy!

- 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.

It has been released in the App Store.

Awesome, just finished my first skills assessment. So glad to see that feature added. However, not sure if I'm just off my game today or the estimated handicap is too aggressive, but it came back with about a 8.5 estimated handicap and I play to a 1 handicap. I did have a couple of miss-reads that ended up missing the green (before I realized you can delete the previous shot). Other than that the only green I missed was from 250 yards. I'll play around with it some more and see if I can bring that down to a number I recognize.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Good feedback. Once this is out for a bit, I'll start a new thread dedicated to dynamic handicap to get some more discussion going

[MainStGolf]

I did a ball test for a friend the other day with 10 different balls. Hit 5 shots with each ball with a driver and 58-degree wedge. I hit 49 of 50 shots with the wedge and the handicap was an 18 something. I didn't hit very many of the shots with a driver and had an 18 there as well. The driver was all over the place that night. I think it just shows how important each facet of the game is. I'm probably an 7-9 IRL right now. The whole-game assessment I did came back with a 14 something handicap.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Thanks, I'd say give it another few goes and see if the results improve. Like I said, I'll start a new discussion on dynamic handicapping.

[MainStGolf]

I don't feel like there are any issues with the assessment or handicap. I just think it shows that my game still has a lot of room for improvement and this is a GREAT way to see where it needs work. I LOVE these skill assessments!

[MainStGolf]

Dual post. Sorry.

[rsuslow]

Was the laser dot reverting back to right handed side fixed in the skills assessment? I can't use the skills assessment because the laser dot does not stay on the left handed side, it goes to the right hand side. This only happens in the skills assessment. I'd fire it up, but I'm injured at the moment lol

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Hmmm, I will need to check on this. If not, I sincerely apologize and will take care of it asap.

[jaus]

I found that the skills assessment resets to right-handed every time you start it. You have to specify left-handed with each session.

[rsuslow]

Just an FYI, it works fine now!

[YonexMan]

I assume then that the fixes for metric distances will come out in the next release?

Noticed that the Game Improvement is still in Yards as well as other sections.

Not complaining, just wondering when it will be fixed as doing a constant conversion all the time gets to be painful after a while.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Yep, that is already slated for the follow-up release to this one . It should be a fairly quick turnaround.

Installed the new update and now everytime I open the app it works fine but when I select the practice or skills challenge, etc, it attempts to load and then right before the range screen loads, the app crashes. Every time. Skytrak still working fine in WGT mode.

Reset eat my phone, deleted app, reinstalled it, everything.

Anyone have this issue? Anyone have suggestions?

it worked flawlessly on my iPhone before the update.

Are you the one who sent a message on FB? I have not seen this and have tested on much older devices than that. Can you try removing the app and then reinstalling? If that also crashes, then please open it back up, go to "ABOUT>Send Logs>Send Previous Log" and make sure to note somewhere in the subject or body that you get a crash when trying to enter practice. We'll see if we can get to the bottom of it.

[Drlyssy]

I didn't send on fb but I did send a Twitter message.

Tried reinstalling it it multiple times. No luck.

Just sent logs.

Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Oops, I stand corrected - it was Twitter (it got passed along to me). If it's ok, we can just deal with it here so that others can benefit from the resolution. Checking the logs now.

[Drlyssy]

Sounds great. Thanks!! I'll be on the lookout

[Paul Logue]

Love the updates. Is there a way to view the height and descent angle without having to go into history?

[leoapd]

Loving the progress of the software for the Skytrak so far. Was at a friend's home, and while he was hitting to practice greens, we began talking about how nice it would be to not only select a practice green, but also select holes...meaning the ability to play a simulated par 3, 4 or 5, dog leg left or right. This could create the idea of hitting a fairway, then onto the green, and chipping/pitching if needed. Sort of a simulation, but similar to the practice greens, given the ability to select a single hole at a time to practice. Not sure that makes sense.

Ok just updated to official release of 2.5.1, but shot histories are all gone even though it says "DATA SYNCED"?

[SkyTrak_Seth]

It can take 10-20 seconds sometimes to trigger the sync process. Can you connect to internet and go to your profile and watch the indicator? The default is data synced (which I'm going to change) so make sure it has enough time to realize it needs to pull everything down. Please keep me updated. Maybe send a log if it never goes to "sync in progress" after a minute.

[doublebogey]

Synced (but along the way did get a "SYNC ERROR - try again later" message). Thanks as always Seth.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Ok, cool. Sync error could just be a hiccup in Wi-Fi or server during the sync. Systems are in place to resume if that occurs. Glad it worked!

I too experienced the same problem. Looking forward to solution.

[leonardchiu]

Sent log with my nick leonardchiu. Looked forward to any quick solution. Thanks

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Oops, sorry I thought you quoted a different issue. Thanks for the log, we are looking into this right now!!

[leonardchiu]

Still no help on this crash issue?

[bennyg211]

SkyTrak_Seth I'm not sure the best place to post this, couldn't see the suggestions thread stickied. I kind of alluded to some of it in the dynamic handicap scoring thread and realised I may have gone slightly off-topic. It just concerns development potential ideas really.
1. If you could integrate the SkyGolf Gametracker GT1/Gat2 you could employ a shots gained/shots lost methodology and then automatically have the SkyTrak practice range / Skills assessment work on your shots lost areas.
2. You could replay your entire round if you wanted to?
3. Heck, you guys make the best course maps, could you not lay your round virtually the day before you play IRL? I'm not talking a full-on sim with trees, bunkers and water. I'm talking selecting your course and the range auto changing the green distance / fairway width for each shot based on the real yardages you guys already know. You just have to select the tees and assume a pin in the middle of the green. You could even vary the green sizes.
4. I don't need a 4 as the first 3 ideas are so awesome.

#3 = Mind Blown.
Yes please!

[bennyg211]

I very nearly dropped the mic after #3 to be honest.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Haha, LMAO!!
