There will a be new version of RC Crew Chief released tomorrow and I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. The new version changes how car files are imported and exported. Car files now include not only the car model but the chassis and setup files as well. So now when you are importing files from the website you only need to download the car file to install a fully functional model. Motor, Battery and ESC models are not included in the car files so when the model is imported these components are set to default models. All the model files on the website will be updated to conform to this format. Setup files will no longer be downloadable as separate files.

This will make sharing of models with your buddies, or even better helping to build the website Library, much simpler.

There are also a number of small improvements and bug fixes that I won't go into here.

This brings me to my plans for the next update. In the next version plans are underway to make numerous improvements plus add some new features (the fun stuff). If anyone has suggestions please feel free to send them through. The only constraint is I am limited to the variables that are included in the current database models. If new variable(s) need to be added to the database to fulfill a request I won't be able to accommodate it.

This is my list so far:

Handling Page

• Add Track, Wheelbase and CG position adjustment options.
• Add left turn option
• Allow Lateral and Longitudinal acceleration values to be changed.

Dynamic page

• Improve data handling, analysis and display
• Include provision for comparison of Dynamic Page setup changes to currently selected setup.
• Add shock dynamic model

CG Calculator

• Add Cross weight calculation

Motor Manager

• Include method to enter Dyno Curves to use as source to build Motor Models.

Have a Great Day!
