2.24 teaser screenshot

Not to get too far off topic, how was the before/after of the CTS-V aka my dream car lol

[madmatt9471]

Gauge display is fully customizable.
The one you see here is drawn by code, all colors/sizes/thicknesses are adjustable.
You can enable/disable drawing of borders/backgrounds/scales if you want to use your own background image as your gauge layout.
Gauges now resize with resizing of the form.



After a few things are cleaned up I'll probably put up the beta scanner file for download on the forum so all can play with it.

Ohhhh WOW! That is better than I thought it would be

Thanks,matt

It's more of an idiot proof system. They could just release what they have done and then just keep updating from there like almost every other software company out there does. The only problem is that some of the bugs in the current system would really mess with a newbie to HPT. The pro's at this are already using the latest and greatest from them. I'm on about my 5th beta update or so. It just keeps getting better. They may be just putting too much into 2.24, but as long as I can still get 2.23 with updates I'm ok with it.

How do you get 2.23 updates? I have a 3 month old version of 2.23....

I think people will be happy with the new stuff. It is difficult to try to finish an update this big also with having to keep up with other new stuff. As an example I tuned a 2010 CTS-V today with my HPT. Soon the 2011 stuff will be coming out and they'll have to keep up with that. With as much new stuff as we are seein on a regular basis they almost will need to just have updates posted once a month to keep up.

makes me wonder if they have new hardware under wraps sometimes

I can't wait....this looks great....

makes me wonder if they have new hardware under wraps sometimes

Our current hardware is virtually futureproof in regards to adding new vehicle support, what isn't futureproof about it are parts(one of the parts is no longer produced so we bought up what stock we could) and changing times(for instance E38/E67 datalogging frames per second), we've already got a good idea of what we want to do with the next hardware revision but we also want to keep the same price as we don't want to price ourselves out of the market.

Is there a limitation on the existing hardware in regards to datalogging FPS? If so, would there be an upgrade available like the transition from serial to USB interface?

Currently the MPVI pro has limited memory for standalone datalogging, for isntance on LS1's or my grand prix gtp for example I can datalog for up to an hour and a half covering what could normally be a trip to and from work or to the track, several runs at the track and then the trip home, however on the newer pcm's that spit out some 40 frames per second this eats up memory on the interface meaning on those applications you max out at roughly 20-30 minutes of standalone datalogging time, so our next redesign will either incorporate a larger memory chip or sd card, etc but thats TBD at this point.

Right now we are just in the planning stages as its not an incredibly high priority to replace our existing hardware.

Thank you for that answer Bill. I've definitely noticed that in some instances, I'm out of memory fairly quickly. But I rarely ever log with just the interface as my laptop is almost always where the interface is.

I think the SD card would be a great idea since you can leave the interface hooked up to the car/wideband and manipulate the data later.

Any chance we will get this as a Christmas present THIS year?

I figure I'd ask again...

I figure I'd ask again...

Come on now... It's only been 11 months since this teaser thread was started.

Besides, we're still waiting for the burrito warmer that was teased in 2.0.

So when is this going to be released? Its been forever now...

[KLUG'S SS]

2.24 will be released when it's released and that's that, the beta versions have been working pretty well and getting more stable so everybody just shut up about it

[shabby]

So when is this going to be released? Its been forever now...

On the 1 year anniversary of this thread... hopefully.

I don't know how they deal with the same questions asked over and over and over.
It will be released when it is released!!

[The Alchemist]

I'm pretty happy with 2.23. Next weekend my Dad is coming out with his 2010 challenger and I'm going to see if I can at least scan it and read the computer.

Exactly! That was the whole point to my post above.

[Snyper]

Is the 2.24 going to be much different from the 2.23?

2.24 IS 2.23 essentially.
