Owners manual?
Is there some type of owners manual for EcuFlash? Something that shows what each area of adjustment is, how it works, what each change does? I did a search for it but if is around could someone point me it the right direction?
Oh, and if there isn't one, could somebody make something for a noob like me, and I'm sure other noobs to EcuFlash!

not to scare ya off or anything but at the moment it is a kinda grassroots bomb that was dropped on the Evo comunity and the pros are even wrestling with the rest of us to figure it out. read search and contribute if you stumble on something.

There's just so much information to digest..
There's two types of information you are looking for..
1) Principals of tuning the ECU
2) Understanding the parameters you have available..
For as involved as I am in the whole thing, I'm still figuring out alot of it. In the past this has been a big tuner secret society.. And to be honest, after discussing some of this stuff with a few tuners, we actually do have more info now than they had with their old tools.. So we're all learning the ropes.
It'll get there, but you have to really read through as many of the threads in this forum as possible and see if you can glean useful info from it.. Eventually more of it will become documented. But you are on the leading edge of a brand new world, ECU Flashing is something that DSM'ers had been wanting for a long time.. This changes everything

very true.
I think there is a lot of useful information in this forum but also a lot of repetative questions. It would be a good idea if someone could consolidate the useful stuff into a sticky at the top...

I really need to get my Wiki online.. It would make this stuff alot easier to consolodate into useful info.. assuming I could find a few authors who can reproduce much of this info in there. The advantage being it could be used to generate PDF output for an actual tuning manual in the future..

I am willing to put some time into it if i am reproducing info established here. I am not confident enough in my observations and understandings to auther a guide for othersbased on my own info. I am still learning the basics myself

If i hadn't been assigned to A new project thats taking up almost a 100% of my time i would offer my help, and release the users guide i've been working on.
I have a week of vacation time comming up, i might take a day or two and finish it up, but no promises.

I can be an admin ... although the amount of time I can dedicate fluctuates a lot with my work schedule. But if you like the Load Axis rescaling PDF I created, that's the usual style/format I like to produce technical documentation in.
