Hey Brad is there anyway to add an average hp and tq of the chart like a mustang dyno does?

 

Being able to plot an average between a couple runs would be good, but I wouldn't do it the way mustang does. They average only one run. I dont think averaging one run wouldn't be all that useful, but averaging multiple runs would be very useful in VD.

 

It would but cramming the data from two runs together I dont think that will work. If it would that would be a relatively easy add.

 

I ment just one run like a mustang dyno does. Someone asked previously if multiple runs could be averaged already. Brad said it wouldn't work though.

 

I should revise that it wont work and say ... I dont think it will work. How would you merge the RPMs and Time together as they could be totally out of sync between logs but thats what calculates power.

 

Hey Brad,

Great piece of software, thanks again.
Quick issue, though, VD on both my desktop running Win7 x64 and my tuning laptop running XP SP3, have an issue where VD won't open now.
You launch it and it shows active on the task bar, but won't pop up.

Both are 1.1.8.
Any ideas? Has done this before as well.

 

Happens to me too. Only way to get it to open is to have the laptop connected to the internet. If it does not have a net connection, like when Im out in the car with the laptop, it wont open.

 

This happens to me every so often. I usually right click the vd tab in the tool bar and hit restore. Or minimize then restore.

 

Neither option is working on the Win7 desktop.

Tim, mine is doing it regardless of connected or not, rather annoying. Only way to fix it is to remove and re-install.

 

VD doesnt care if its connected to the internet or not ... it just uses that to check for updates. There is a bug that when it closes it writes the wrong values to the saved file for restoring the window to the proper size and location. Look in c:\users\<username>\appdata\Roaming\Virtual Dyno\graphsettings.xml

It will have -32000 for both top and left. Set those to 0 and you should be good to go. I am having a bit of trouble finding this bug as the code looks fine to me. It basically reopens VD completely off the screen.

 

Thanks for the response Brad.
Didn't fix it though, my 'graphsettings.xml' file was located in:

c:\program files x86\Virtual Dyno\graphsettings.xml

Is this the correct one to edit?
When opening, the following was in there which looks correct to me.

 

underneath IsMaximized add these two lines:

<Left>0</Left>
<Top>0</Top>

Let me know if that helps. We WILL get to the bottom of this. If that doesnt work try deleting that graphsettings.xml file completely.

 

Added those lines Brad, that didn't fix it.

BTW this is only on my Win7 x64 machine, my XP SP3 laptop used for tuning was fixed by just right clicking the taskbar icon and selecting 'Maximise', the graphsettings.xml file on the XP machine also when edited as above didn't change the problem.

Cheers
Ben

 

Damn, got a new laptop (running same OS - W7 64bit) and its doing it constantly now. Have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working. Tried what you suggested for Benny and it didn't work for me either.

 

So it shows up on the task bar but if you click on the task bar icon it doesnt show the window at all?

This is due to it saving the location of the last known window position incorrectly. Thats why if you close out of the program and go look in your graphsettings.xml file you will see that there is a -35000 as the screen locations.
