Closed Loop Idle Settings - DashPot Adder Error/Issue
I have had an ongoing issue with my MS3 Gold box and the Closed Loop Idle Setting DashPot Adder.
If I adjust the DashPot adder with the engine running, it works perfectly. Upon quitting/reloading TunerStudio, I get the following error message and the DashPot adder returns to the default 7.8%. Has anyone run into this, or have a suggestion to work around it?
The screenshots are as follows:
1) Changing the dashpot adder value, I changed it to 10.2% then saved the tune
2) Quitting/Reloading TunerStudio > I get an error message > Error message shown > TunerStudio reverts back to 7.8% [default value]

Re: Closed Loop Idle Settings - DashPot Adder Error/Issue
Hmm, Looks like an ini error with two settings using the same memory with different scales.
TS is enforcing the limit on pwmidle_dp_adder_steps of 20 with a scale of 1, that forces the limit of pwmidle_dp_adder to 7.84
These lines should be changed to this in the ini:
Code: Select all
pwmidle_dp_adder = scalar, U08, 375, "%", 0.392, 0.00000, 0, 20, 1
pwmidle_dp_adder_steps = scalar, U08, 375, "steps", 1.00000, 0.00000, 0, 20, 0 ; same but steps

Thanks for the feedback but it is way over my head!
Is this something I should be able to fix myself?

This has already been resolved in the current MS3-pre1.5.1 beta.

Sorry, it wasn't really for you as much as to give the firmware guys a heads up... Sounds like James already has it covered though.
For you, if you update your project to use the attached ini, you should be good.

I'll give it a shot, I've never changed an ini before.LT401Vette wrote:Sorry, it wasn't really for you as much as to give the firmware guys a heads up... Sounds like James already has it covered though.

Am I supposed to hit the "other/browse" box and find the new .ini file?
Thanks!
