can we update the INI for extended temps?
This is a question to the cod devs... How do you guys want to deal with the extended temperature range when dealing with aircooled engines. Right now, I have my INI limits set to 600F.
Would you be willing to just bump the temp limits up for all cars, or should we make a configurator option to select the greater temp limits?
Thanks!
Mike

Nice work Mike!
I am running an air cooled VW 1600TL with MS2 extra.
I prefer INI file with high temperature limit. (why not for all engine types)
600F (315C) is more than enough.
Megatune should have options for air end water cooled engines.
And possibilities to set individual temp limits and warnings.
Thanks!

I'm thinking that the best way to go about this is to make a configurator option variable that allows the user to select the temp range. For example:
Code: Select all
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Turn this on to use expanded coolant temperature ranges everywhere
; For example -40F to 600F instead of -40F to 200F. This is useful for
; aircooled vehicles. Works with MegaSquirt-II only
# set EXPANDED_CLT_TEMP "Expanded Coolant Temperature Range"

There are two options, easy or hard.
If we do this the easy way, we just update the max temperature to something like 600F (and appropriately for Celsius). Problem with this is that all the water-cooled people will have gauges with tons of headroom.
or, the hard way is to put the option in the settings.ini file to select air/water-cooled and then use if statements in the INI to handle the temp ranges appropriately.
If you all pick a way, I will make the updates to the latest INI and upload them...
Thoughts?
