    Which begs the question... copy/paste from one to another? Or export to excel, model, and paste back?

    We're still investigating which parameters to change. So far it's not as simple as changing a single value from 13.6 to 14.x. 2 passes so far and Mat is working on a new version to test - possibly today.

    You can have up to 3 files open at the same time,
    Bottom left corner to switch files.
    You can open maps from any file and view both at the same time
    You can highlight one map, right click copy,
    Go to new map, paste

    You can also disable graph coloring and highlight which cells change too.

    Nice to hear there’s some standard Windows copy/paste functionality.

    I’m thinking to get serious with this I’ll need dual monitors set up so I can have excel or screen shots on one monitor while I work in vF on the other. Or can we have 2 instances of vF running at the same time, one on each screen? Using vF from my Surface tablet seems far from ideal without a docking station and dual monitors.

    @OVTune I have one of those outstanding $79 orders, #6211 from 4/16, and am a previous Flash Tuner customer, order 4740. You indicated that all pending vF keys would go out May 1, then suggest above that the remaining are mis-matches. I have not changed name or address, and have not received a key yet. Would love to get started using vF. Thanks.

    We already sent you your vF key.

    the registration key for your system ID you already have from before. you don't have to register that again.

    Thank you for looking into it. I did not receive the key, and I have not changed my email address. Could you please re-send? I will pm my email to confirm.

    I'm on babysitting duty for the next 3 hours so I can't go load this to test. However, the feedback earlier from you on having multiple files open is exactly what I was hoping for. Once additional tunes are available it will be easy to compare and understand what changes and magnitude of changes impact the various areas of the software. Below is a screen shot comparing new Alternator file (left) vs. stock (right). Only the values in the Base Phase Duty are being altered in this test. This is how I learn, thanks!

    Tried it out- looks like it works. 13.9V before, and 14.4V after loading the alt test tune. Monitored via OBD Fusion.
