Im playing with it right now, its great. Its easy to read and navigate. The only thing I see with it bad is it shoots the end of the pull up on most of my log files where as other programs dont do that. is there a way you can clip it off so it doesn't do that? i really like it so far, im comparing logs right now with it and im seeing things i couldn't see before with previous programs used.
Also if there was a way to make it learn the cars settings and save them for everytime you open a log that would be better also. Other then that the programs perfect. I love how it opens a new box for each log file on the left.

I asked this in the other thread, but I ask here too.
Regarding your standalone program against Jack's VDR, does they still read different?
When I was doing beta testing for your program, your program always read different then VDR 5.71.
So does it still read different, or has it been editing to read the same?
IMO, if its read different then VDR (which is becoming an EvoM standard), then its kinda useless (dont take this the wrong way)

Thats why Im asking if he changed it to read the same as Jack's VDR.
Because if it reads different but has basically the same name, then the dynos wars/debates are just gonna get worse.

The one log I checked was:
398/397 Excel VDR
404/396 VDR standalone
So, nearly identical. But, absolute numbers really don't mean anything anyway. As long as the tool you are using is consistent, and you use the same tool every time, then it will work just as intended. All of these dyno tools are for comparison and tuning purposes on the same car, not for HP bragging rights.
But I agree with you...a lot of people just want the numbers and they want them as high as possible. But, save that for the people who don't know anything. We will use it for it's true purpose.

Yeah, Thats is close enough. When I tested it was way more off, like 30-40 HP&TQ off the VDR number, on the same exact log and settings.
And of course, as always, any dyno is just a tuning tool and not for HP number/braggin rights. But if two dynos have the same name (Virtual Dyno and Virtual Dyno Room) and give way different numbers, there could be some confusion.
Hopefully thats not the case, and this program will read around the same as VDR.

Just played with the software. I like it. Its way better then the beta I tried a while ago and the numbers are fairly similar to VDR #s. Couple comments.
- Where is the 6 speeds for evo 8/9?
- It kinda needs a "max RPM trim" like VDR, as there is upward spikes from the averages getting "screwy" at the end of the run. Or maybe the averaging formula can just be better or use more data points near the end.
Oh yeah, and it need some type of "tire calculator" built into it.

Okay. Playing around more with the program, it seems it read higher then VDR 5.71. Here is some data.
In VDR 5.71, using the "dynojet" setting (which puts the "current corr. factor" @ 1.110) = 396hp/365tq
In Virtual Dyno 1.0.0.0, using the "default" Dyno Correction factor (which is 1.12) = 410hp/378tq
In Virtual Dyno 1.0.0.0, using the "custom" Dyno Correction factor (1.10) = 409/371
In Virtual Dyno 1.0.0.0, using the "custom" Dyno Correction factor (which is 1.08) = 396/365
In VDR 5.71, using the "dynojet" setting (which puts the "current corr. factor" @ 1.110) = 396hp/365tq
In Virtual Dyno 1.0.0.0, using the "default" Dyno Correction factor (which is 1.12) = 410hp/378tq
In Virtual Dyno 1.0.0.0, using the "custom" Dyno Correction factor (1.10) = 409/371
In Virtual Dyno 1.0.0.0, using the "custom" Dyno Correction factor (which is 1.08) = 396/365
