A Major SkyTrackPro Update Packed With New Features Tools and Improvements

The latest SkyTrackPro update brings one of the biggest feature expansions so far. From weather tools on the Task and live tracking to a rebuilt server architecture with fully custom terrain we have been working behind the scenes to make your flying experience faster smarter and more reliable.

A huge leap forward. Weather reports, task upgrades, new map technology and a modernised backend all together form the most advanced version of SkyTrackPro yet.

Weather Report on Every Task

Organizer can now provide a weather report on the task so pilots can now see a clear and compact weather report directly on the task page. Wind strength and direction at different altitudes cloudbase height and general flying conditions are integrated into the task overview so you always know what to expect during planning.

The New Task Board

Tasks now include all essential operational information in one place. Retrieve instructions safety radio frequency safety phone numbers task timings launch window and other mission critical details are displayed clearly for every pilot.

The task board is built for competitions as well as club or weekend flying. It gives pilots a complete overview and reduces briefing time significantly.

Live Tracking Fully Integrated

Live tracking has now been fully merged into the SkyTrackPro environment. Pilots can share their location during flight while organisers and friends follow their progress in real time. The system is designed for low battery usage accurate position updates and reliable server connectivity.

iOS and Android Apps Almost Ready

The SkyTrackPro native apps have reached the final development stage. Both versions offer offline maps airspace obstacle display live metrics a customisable flight layout and the ability to upload flights straight from your device. The new backend architecture ensures instant syncing with the website.

Rebuilt Server Architecture With Custom Maps and Terrain

Behind the scenes we completely modernised the mapping engine. SkyTrackPro now runs on a fully custom server stack with our own map tiles terrain datasets elevation models hillshade and contour lines. Everything is generated and optimised in house for precision and speed.

These datasets are also available for offline use in the iOS and Android apps enabling flights in remote areas without connectivity while still showing accurate terrain and safety layers.

Improved IGC Upload and Task Upload System

The flight upload workflow has been refined for speed and reliability. IGC processing is now faster cleaner and more tolerant of device differences, it also truncates dead points from the beginning and from the end of the track. The new task upload system also supports importing tasks which pilots or clubs can share or use for navigation.

More Improvements Across the Platform

  • Optimised performance across all flight pages.
  • Smarter XC detection and scoring consistency.
  • Visual refinements throughout the map toolkit.
Beta Notice: Many of these features are still evolving. Please report unexpected behaviour or suggestions through our contact form.

SkyTrackPro continues to grow rapidly combining precision modern technology and pilot focused design in every update.
