i downloaded software today by the way (both demo and normal)

ok here are my personal suggestions, please take them constructively, and bear in mind i'm not a mapper and could be barking up completely the wrong tree:

FullScreen monitor dunctionality, maybe with some graphical gauge outputs (liek lewis has for his T2)

ESC Key - you use esc to accept informational popups as well as error messages, maybe make enter the key for info popups (less confusing)

Afterburner - change the name please it sounds so

WaterInjection: maybe add a variable output like a nitrous pulsoid to ocontrol the quantity of water injected? (dunno if this is stupid idea or not)

Boost Map - Add a graph for this, they look cool and easier to read... lol

Idle Speed - you set the cold+warm speeds but cant find anywhere that defines what the cold and warm points are also can you make this variable over different temperatures rather than just an imediate switch from high to low?

Map Sensors - Add support for 1bar map sensors for NASP applications maybe? and can they support the frequencey type mapsensors as found on the FRST (dunno if tis ofac or ofab) probably easier just to change to a different type of mapsensor tho... lol but im sure i read somewhere that theyre are advantages in the freq. types

Trigger/Sensor settings - this lists the type of engine you got, but doesnt state what the different settings are for, could you add an advanced section or maybe justa helptext to describe what the different settings are for (ie xxx works on flywheel, yyy works on CPS etc. etc.) same for distributor/coilack selection... how does changing the settings affect the actual output... again the same with the boost control type selection (would be easier for people using them on non-RS applications IMHO)


just my 2p worth

Jim,
Windows version will have gauges on.

Esc/enter key - Dont be so picky !!!!

Afterburner is called that because it can do antilag and/or flamer control
for BIGGGGGG flames


Water injection - This is to become a general mappable output in the next version
with lots of features for creating custom outputs.
Plus there will be two such outputs.

Boost map graph - Good idea - added to the list.

Idle speed - This is a interpolated control say if cold is 1300, and hot is 1000, then at warm it would be mid way at 1150.
I.E. The idle speed is linear across the coolant control range.

1 bar map sensors - Nooooooo - Ok yes then. On the list

Crank settings - this is designed to be easy set up so will not change.
These work for 99.9999% of designed applications and saves alot of
data entry setup by the user.
If somebody wants a custom one I will add it if demand is there.

Thanks for the interest and comments Jim.
