Glad it's working now. You had me worried there for a minute. Haven't had any reports of problems for quite some time.

No bug reports means I get to focus on new features and improvements.

Hi Bob, I can't locate the Mi4CXL file? Do you know if the MI4CXL is a lot different to the Mi4CX?

thanks

Apologies. That was one model I didn't get uploaded to the site. The car, chassis and some setups are there now on the download page.

http://rccrewchief.wrightdesign.ca/Download.aspx

Just save the files you want to a folder and then import them into the program.

A couple points.

When adding inner camber link shims a 1mm shim will relocate the pivot point by .8mm. This is due to the angle of the plate.

I should have kept my mouth shut about bugs because for some reason the lower shock mount point displays offset from the lower suspension arm line in the Mi4CXL model on the setup page. This appears to be a bug in the drawing routine and doesn't affect the calculations. I'll fix it in the next release.

Thanks Bob, downloaded the files. Do you know if the Mi4CXL is the same basic geometry as the Mi4CX?

I can't say for sure as the Mi4CXL model was prepared by someone else. Likely any changes will be subtle. You could compare setup sheets and suspension component part numbers to see if they have changed. Other than that you could post a question on Schumacher thread. I'm sure someone there would know.

All the models are now on the download page on the website. Just save the ones you need to a suitable folder and then use the import function to load them into the database.

Watch the screencast video on the website "How to Import Chassis and Car Files"

No problem. Have to expect a few learning curve issues with new software.

I just uploaded an updated screencast video that deals with this whole subject. I should have updated it when I changed to using the download page for retrieving models. Probably would have saved some confusion.

It would probably help if i was better with computers lol ...but from what i have seen so far i can tell that a lot work went into this....definately worth the money.
