SkyTrackPro 1.3.5
SkyTrackPro 1.3.5 — Rewritten Wind Estimator and Per-Altitude Insights
The new SkyTrackPro Version 1.3.5 is now available for iOS and Android. This release focuses on wind measurement, with a fully rewritten wind estimator, an altitude-banded wind store, a redesigned wind tile and per-altitude breakdowns of wind and thermals — plus a handful of refinements to final glide and layouts.
Rewritten Wind Estimator
The wind estimator has been rebuilt from the ground up. Instead of averaging across the whole climb, SkyTrackPro now fits a cosine model to each circle and stores results in altitude bands, giving you a much more honest picture of how the wind changes as you climb.
- Circling cosine fit per turn for cleaner results
- Altitude-banded wind store — winds aloft, not just a single average
- More stable readings in messy or shifting conditions
- Better correlation between wind direction, speed and your actual climb
Redesigned Wind Tile
The wind tile has been redesigned to match the new estimator and to read faster at a glance during flight.
- Rotating arrow showing live wind direction
- Tighter tile padding for a cleaner cockpit
- Consistent styling with the rest of the Tiles tab
Per-Altitude Wind and Thermal Breakdowns
Tap the wind tile to open a detailed view of how the wind and thermals behave at different altitudes — the kind of insight that usually only shows up after a flight, now available live.
- Wind direction and speed broken down by altitude band
- Thermal strength per altitude band alongside the wind
- Helps with decisions on where to climb and where to push on
Final Glide Refinements
- Next-target preview in the minimised On Final Glide banner — see what's coming after the current leg without expanding the banner
Layouts & Under the Hood
- Removed the "Make public" option from flight layout slots for a cleaner sharing flow
- Updated secure-storage library for better reliability on both platforms
