Spot on. I ran out of time waiting for an answer and did it anyway - worked perfectly.

Yup! Minimum throttle gives you the number you set as a percentage of the throttle as soon as you move away from neutral. So, if you set 10, you get 10% of the throttle when you move away from neutral. 10 seems to work best for me as it makes the throttle more responsive, and removes the gap there was before.
Minimum brake works the same way. It makes the brake operate earlier for less stick movement. It's like using the handbrake in a rally car to get the back round in a hairpin - immediate application of the brake. It's not that sudden, but you get the analogy. Again, 10 seems to work for me.
Randy, I find the following with 212:
Throttle is much more responsive in the mid-range, especially using minimum throttle to close the gap there was around neutral.
Temps are lower, and for some reason I haven't fathomed out the car is better with extended rev range on the boost. I used to run 25xx to 85xx, but now run 27xx to 105xx, and it's faster and easier to control.
Old motors seem to be even better than new ones - I now have an X11 in my 12th car and it breezes past anything later!
The Dashboard is excellent for checking settings.
The updates work much better, from download through upgrade to settings.
Only niggles left - you can't move the sliders with the mouse, they don't follow the pointer, and some sliders still have no 'right-click' facility. Nit-picking I know, but you did ask!!
Thanks Tekin, a good product just got even better!
