James should be able to help you at some point. He has been busy though so that might contribute to not getting an answer yet.
Megasquirt is not for use on pollution controlled vehicles. Any advice I give is for off road use only.

What exactly did you want to know? Have you read the tool tips?

The MS3-Pro manual and main MS3 manuals presently cover the 1.3.x firmware only.

I've created a supplement for some of the 1.4.x features. http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/Megasqui ... lement.pdf but it doesn't presently have any information about the launch changes.

James,thanks for your reply.

Yes i have the 1.4 manual.
What i want is to adjust my current 2step so it will not porduce the loud big bang cut and also the heavy nasty flames coming out of the exhaust.

When i slowly open the throttle it hold the rpm steady without big bang and flames until i reach 100%throttle. When i reach 100%throttle then the big bang cut and flames occur.

I was told that with this new style launch control i could remove this. But i am unable to do so.

Yes, basically if you cut spark then you'll almost certainly get some explosions in the exhaust as fuel is still being dumped in there.

what i need can be seen on 2.30 minutes on the video.
2step sound is very sharp and steady,

Any one please advise how to get the current MS3 launch control to work like this.
