Changelogs

Simple Mode — train and compete with less friction

A new operating mode for unsupervised training and leisure:

• Guided Start Round wizard: pick discipline, program, targets, and shooters from tile-based menus.

• Streamlined supervision — fewer dialogs; firearm and ammunition inferred from wizard choices.

• On-screen coaching: round progress, distance, hints, and horizontal/vertical accuracy feedback.

• Competition-ready flow: multi-shooter rounds, pause handling, summaries, and automatic PDF score sheets.

• Turn Simple Mode on or off: hold S for ~7 seconds on the startup screen (paired tracker required), or Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S.

• Calibrate before you start. Default is “No (Quick)”. Choose “Yes (Expert)” in the wizard or under Settings → System to require sight verification per round.

• PDF score sheets

  • Simple Mode: saved automatically to My Documents; not opened in the browser.

  • Advanced Mode: saved to My Documents and opens in Chrome after a round or when printing competition results.

Tactical add-on — anti-drone training (€100/month)

• New drone discipline with 3D model, spatial audio, and realistic movement paths.

• Hit quality, reach statistics, and replay with trail overlay.

• Integrated scenarios show the drone descending from the sky.

• Requires shotgun selection and tactical license activation.

Competition sequences & sporting programs

• Competition Sequence Builder: chain, delete, reorder, and randomize user-defined scenarios.

• Sporting sub-scenarios per step for more flexible layouts.
