I like the controller, though it seems to be a rather lengthy "work in progress." I am still the only one on Mustang6g that has it.

Just installed the 08-28-17 Firmware, and my custom Plush pdts file with USB cable and every step went without a hitch.
Just returned from a 30 mi ride and it Seemed to ride and handle Slightly better with very limited bounce.
Hard to tell where any other improvements might be without a longer ride but I'm happy :auto:

Get to do 3 tomorrow! This should be fun.

No to all. No issues at all associated with swapping back and forth.

zero problems should occur.

so the question is.... do I want to reverse all velocity settings now? That's a fairly serious bug.

I can attest to that. I swapped my stock controller in multiple times now. It slides in like butter.

Clay,

Your's is not the most current. Mike sent me a revised one Monday, 8/28, to test as I was on vacation and planned on running the car all day in the twisties. It tested great with further velocity improvements. He discovered an error in the one released on I believe 8/14. The 8/28 was not in Jordan's possession/computer prior to Monday, 8/28.

Rick

Yes, unfortunately I learned that this morning from Jordan. It's back to DSC since I don't have a Windows laptop.

Really not a big deal considering you're getting a constantly evolving and improved product. I'm sure your professional background has demonstrated many companies who ignore problems or errors found rather than admit they had an error in their product, invest the time to develop a solution and provide it for free to current customers.

Also, it LITERALLY took me less than 5 minutes to load the new firmware and then reload my pdts file. I actually timed it and it took less than 5 minutes. Very, very simple even for a non-techie such as myself.

Rick

P.S. Ooops, I just read you don't have a windows computer. Hard to imagine you don't have a friend, neighbor or ??? with one you could borrow for a few minutes. Maybe buy one an old used one off eBay for $50? However, I know you're really just looking for an excuse to go hang around the TPC/DSC shop as it's a fun place and you can drool over the TracTive shocks some more.

Oh yes, I completely understand and appreciate the openness with which Mike handles this product. I know this is an evolving product. I was only bitching a little bit that I drove there to have firmware update 1 day before a new one is released, and no one in the shop knew about it. Of course, Mike was at VIR.

Since I'm pretty happy with the improvement with the new, now old, firmware, I think I'll wait a couple of months until Mike's latest creative burst settles down, and this really is "the last firmware update for awhile."

And yes, I'd rather just drive there and have them do it, since I'm so close.:thumbs:

Quick questions:
Will DSC do an install of their controller unit in my Mag Ride equipped C7 on somewhat short notice, if I am driving through there on my return from MacMulkin Chev?

Is there an up charge for them to do the installation above the cost of the controller? If so, how much?

FYI: contrary to my previous post from last night.
Went for an 85 mile drive today to get a better feel for the 08-28-17 Firmware with my custom Tour Plush file.
Most noticeable difference is it rides a "bit" stiffer in Tour at slower speeds.
Everything being relative it's not bad, just not quite as Smooth as it was with the 08-14-17 Firmware.
More tinkering to come :auto:

Yes as long as they know you're coming. Give them a call and get a quote. Remember, VERY, VERY, VERY important to have them or a highly capable performance/race/alignment shop align the car properly as just about all are dangerous from the factory.

Rick

P.S. Did I mention this is VERY important.

Yes, they will. They installed mine for free, but I did have their recommended alignment done at the same time. Obviously, they charged for that.

And yes, as Rick said, the proper alignment is VERY important.

Is it possible we're all getting just a bit OC here about the latest tweaks? I could not be happier w/ the 8/14 firmware, which was a noticeable improvement, but even the old, old firmware was a dramatic improvement over OEM.

I know Mike is a perfectionist, and I love him for that, but I think we may be losing some perspective here.

^ Clay, I might be missing your point :cheers:
But are you referring to making changes to pdts files, or recent multiple Updates to the Firmware.

There were problems in the Original Firmware in the Velocity table.
DSC fixed this with the 08-14-17 Firmware, but one Bug remained.
Hence the reason for the 08-28-17 Firmware which should be good now.

In my Quote, I wanted to alert others that are modifying their files.
Some of us, and I presume Mike too, are tweaking pdts Files, but in different "modes", for different reasons.
But, the 08-28-17 Firmware changed how the pdts files work now, modified or not.

In my case, I'm trying to perfect Tour Mode to my liking.
Sport and Track are fine IMO.
With the 08-14-17 Firmware, my Tour mode was perfect for "me" .
My friend down the street is also running my Tour pdts file in his Base Vert / MSRC and likes it.
With the 08-28-17 Firmware installed, he also mentioned a slightly stiffer ride now.
With that feedback, at least I know it's not my imagination ;)

Either way, now we can modify our files knowing the Firmware is working correctly.
YMMV :cheers:
PS: Yes, it's very possible we actually are OC :lol:

I sure wish I waited to update my firmware. Not a big issue but then again not really what I want to do every weekend. So when you update the firmware and the eprom that loads a PDTS file at that time. Last time I reloaded my previous PDTS file I was running which was Mikes VIR file. I'm going to cut a little door in my fender:rofl::rofl: I gave up on WIFI too as it was inconsistent.

yeah wifi kinda sucks. I think it takes less time to take my wheel off and access it via USB than wifi.

It takes about 45 seconds for me to upload an entire file over Wifi.

It takes me a full 10 minutes to remove, flash firmware, and reinstall.

Outside of firmware updates, Wifi is good for me!
