Thanks,

LNF cobalts supported?

yes, LNF coupe is supported, sedan is not(though the only difference would be weight i believe)

Sweeeeeet .... I dont worry too much about the NASIOC guys. I have had nothing but trouble from them. Even the MODs over there give me crap.

I was on nasioc when it was first popping off when there was only nasioc back in 2001. Back then it was good with very mature peoples and very informative. I went back there couple month ago just to ask a few off topic question and got bombarded with what look like to be all 16 years old kids. I couldn't believe what the site have turned into and mods just let it happen now. I would never support or go back to that site again in my life. Make me look at suby's in a whole different level.

[RooTBeeR]

also, how do i get it to graph boost and afr?

[bbarnhill]

Send me a log if its not showing up. The column names are probably not in the definition file. You can always attach the log here and tell me what logger you used to make the log.

[RooTBeeR]

...wow, im slow haha never mind, i entered the proper names into the options menu shows up perfect now! also saw the updated car profiles, thanks for that, i certainly wouldn't mind helping donating great piece of software so i can see what kind of difference all my changes are making with out trying to find/afford hours on a dyno

thanks again!

Andrew

I think i'll go post this in a few forums now, help spread it around.

[bbarnhill]

If you have a column name you are having to post in the option screen to get to show up ... send me the log and tell me what logger you used and Ill get that column added as a default column so others dont have to do that

Thanks for the support and I appreciate spreading the word.

[RooTBeeR]

Well for boost i have to make my own because it otherwise just shows manifold absolute pressure(kPa) so i change it over to psi on the spreadsheet and make a custom column, So i just have it labeled Boost psi

But for the afr mine is labeled NGK Widband afr

I just use the HP Tuners Beta 2.23 Scanner and then export the info to a .csv file in MS Excel 2003

[bbarnhill]

I added the NGK column so it should be in the next release of the column database. I usually wait on a couple of columns to come in before I release a version. So the versions dont just keep flying out the door.

I got different weights than you have ... send me the links to where you got your weights from. Also is there something you are trying to point out in the drag coeff?

[Pyros777]

I really wanted to grab weights from owners manuals, but couldnt find them. I ended up getting them from Edmunds.com. Click on the weights to go to the respective edmunds.com page.

Not really pointing anything out with the drag coefficient. Just linking to my source, which was the chevrolet website back when the cobalt still had a page there.

[bbarnhill]

well played sir ... ill change those in the definition files.

[wrickm]

any word on when the next release comes out?

[bbarnhill]

as soon as i get some feedback on whether 1.1.3 is fixing the permission issue people are having .... Ill release it.

great, looking forward to it!

[bbarnhill]

Is anyone here having problems saving profiles or getting errors saying you cant save? If so PM me.

[RooTBeeR]

Any way you could make it so we can type in our own label for different profiles instead of it automatically putting in numbers?
