    From what I gather, there is no 2 bar support for the v6's in ver. 1.6? When can we expect to see this? And are we talkin 300 bucks just for the update?!?!? Or is it the standard 6 months for 100 bucks?
    thanks a bunch....

    V6 is a challenge due to the different way the code is written and extra limitations, we are working on some ideas but can't give a date at this time.

    You guys are great.

    I just did a cam swap in my 2001 Camaro SS (4th cam) and I switching over from LS1 Edit to HP Tuners. I have been using all of my HP Tuners (I have 3 different cables) for almost a year now on other peoples cars and used the scanner on mine 100's of times and have decided to make the switch, to me it's a no brainer.

    There are a lot of great new features, but there is one feature I haven't seen yet, the ability to compare your stock file with the file that you are currently working on. What's the hold up???

    You have mentioned Version 2.0 will be a lot different, just the look of it, or everything?

    Keep up the great work and I look forward to checking out the new software.

    Thanks for the kind words!

    We looked at file compare and the needs of our users meant we weren't just going to have some simple feature to switch between a loaded file and a compare file. It is a big feature and instead of doing essentially two writes of the feature (one for 1.6 and one for 2.0) we decided it was best to do it once in 2.0. It is already coded in 2.0 development and is really sweet. 2.0 isn't that far away

    How far away is far away?? :lol: The main thing that I would like is a save feature. Something automatic on the scanner where you can't exit the program or start another log unless you save the last log. Oh, wrong forum, but also the ability to change the gauges and layout.

    so if you try to login and it tells you "Invalid Login or Password", does that mean the free upgrade period has expired? :'(

    EDIT: nevermind, it works! it helps if you spell your email address correctly

    WOOOHOOO the cut and paste seems awsome. So whens 2.0 just kidding, you know that thread will be soon to come. Anyway my question is in regards to the 2 BAR. Do I have to run MAF less to take advantage of this? By the way I'm tuning an 04 GTO with a Maggie. Also what 2 bar MAF is recommended.

    OK just saw this, so do I need to email a .bin file to you so I can use the 2 bar? Or how do we go about this? And who and where do I email the file?

    I uh...don't suppose 1bar enhanced for SD is a little cheaper?

    By the way. Thanks guys! I just got done looking at all the features. My wife will be picking up skull shrapnel from my head exploding for months.

    Re: VCM Suite 1.6.0 is available now!

    quick question, my updates ran out but lets say after you release 2.0 i need to buy another license would i get the version 2.0 or would it just be another license added on to my 1.6.X version at that point?

    Thanks

    Ok, help me out here. For the 2bar stuff, If I already have the pro package with alot of cars now, does that mean I have to spend another 3K to get the version of the 2bar again? Or do I just download and I get 1.6 now?

    I'm a little confused on the whole licensing issue as well... I'll download 1.6 when I get home so that will probably answer the question.. but I have 1.5 now, and I still have support... so I can download 1.6... Will that have the 2 Bar support? or is that an additional $299 in licensing to use that?
