Thanks

Just ran the WCIC Lethbridge leg with my T3/RS Pro. End RPM was around 10,000, start RPM around 2800, boost 45, turbo 10, ramp 3, .3 delay. I was running Speed Passion 17.5 and 13.5 with the same settings geared 108/34 (6.03) and 108/32 (6.41) respectively. I had many problems through the weekend but, horsepower definitely wasn't one of them. In hind site, I could have turned off the turbo (75X48 track). The added kick at the end of the straight was hard to manage at times. Hope this helps.

Same here. Never had a problem on upgrades. The only problem I have is connection of Hotwire on a Windows 7 64 bit. Anybody have some comment on this problem? or any suggestions?

Work great on a XP OS system on a laptop & Desktop. But not on Windows 7 OS on a desktop.

It seems to me that one of if not the most important setting in hotwire is the end rpm which you ideally try to match to the max rpms acheived by the motor you are using, FDR and the track layout etc. Now correct me if i'm wrong but the rs detects the rpms the motor is doing at any given moment right?
So something that would ease setup would be if i where to zero all boost settings etc in hotwire and 0 the timng on the can pick an FDR which suits the twisty bits then run a couple of laps the rs would know what the max rpms acheived where and could list it as say a recommended setting the next time i opened hotwire. Not sure if this is possible as the rs would need to be able to write the data and have somewhere to store it. Just a thought all comments welcome
i think i know what you are talking about.i have noticed on mine that i had the end rpm set at 18500.but when i went back into the hotwore to change a setting i noticed the numbers were below what i set.assuming that the motor did not reach the 18500 mark but indeed reached whatever number was there.it was close to the mark i programmed.

Thanks so much. Will give it a try.

If you are, so am I, and so are at least four other people I race with. One thing I did notice - once I removed all the MS and other c**p that came with my netbook (MS Office 'taster', McAfee Security Centre, MS Security, etc., etc,) it not only goes 100x faster, but Hotwire works more reliably, too. Some of the virus systems need to be turned off, and some of the expensive ones just seem to slow the machine to a crawl, and/or prevent loading of new programs via the web.

I am really annoyed that buying a low-cost PC is an excuse for all these companies to fit software that endlessly pops up asking you to buy things - it reminds me why I love my Mac! Having uninstalled all that c**p, and fitted free security software and a decent browser, all is well with Hotwire and my netbook. HTH

People with problems keeping their settings in the speedo, try using the same exact USB port each time you use hotwire. It might be worth the try.

The new software fixed that for me. Now runs fine on a Dell laptop with the 64 bit windows 7.

Strange Peter, that's exactly what I've done with my netbook with exactly the same results! (Plus install a proper copy of MS Office.) Now I know you are good enough with computers I'll get you to set up our race timing laptop to dual boot Vista and XP with no XP drivers next time we need to do it so I don't have to do it again myself!

I've never had a problem with any aspect of HotWire on any PC unless it was my own fault, though I admit I've not tried 64 bit.

Step 1 of any new pc purchase is to remove the rubbish it comes with

Only issue I've had with it is on a dual-boot win7/xp machine where the USB cable isn't picked up on the win7 installation, it's not a hotwire issue though as it doesn't find the GM cable either.

My problems all happened on a very clean 64bit system! I also shut down AVG prior to install! It must be a small hiccup with MS 64bit OS?

I had no issues installing Hotwire on a 64 bit Win 7 machine. That's Win 7 Premium not Win 7 "starter".

Is there any possibility of choosing other start value for timing boost than those offerred in the calculated list (after choosing an end value)?
