gridOrient in MegaTune

[The Aspirator]

Drives me nuts, the fuel map looks fine and is nice and flat, but every time I open the spark map I can't see over the hump and into boost unless I rotate it 330* using the N key.

I know that in the msns-extra.ini file you can change it, but my file (029q) says this:
;;gives error gridOrient = 250, 0, 340 ; Space 123 rotation of grid in degrees.

It does give an error if I erase that part, and changing the numbers don't do anything cause I think those colons cancel that line from being read. How do I fix this? I want my spark map to be 220, and my fuel map to stay at 250. Anyone figure this trick out?

Thanks! (if you're reading this and have never tuned Megasquirt you must be soooo lost right now :-P )

eagerly awaiting a solution to this most annoying problem, which I haven't cared enough about to bother trying to fix.

[The Aspirator]

Ahh ha! So I'm not the only one. A year ago Kyle posted a fix, but that fix doesn't seem to work anymore (pretty much what I posted above). Humm, maybe I'll ask the mastar Matt Dupuis, since him and Dale are crashing here for the weekend. Even if he doesn't have an answer he'll make something interesting up, that's for sure :) .

ehh... it drove me nuts, so I just stopped using it... be nice if it was click and drag

I hate it too, and i've spent very little time trying to tune my spark. You can't see anything over the ridge.

I hate it too, and i've spent very little time trying to tune my spark. You can't see anything over the ridge.Well just hit the "N" button a whole bunch until you can juuuuust see over the ridge, then it'll stay that way until you completely close MegaTune. You can even close the tuning screen and get back into it, and it will have remembered those temporary settings.

Bump, anyone?

Email me an MSQ and I'll look at it tonight on my desktop. My laptop's all buried in interior parts and what-not.

[The Aspirator]

I don't think there's much to do in the MSQ, I think it's mostly in the msns-extra.ini file, but I don't really know what to change in there to make it do what I want.

[Matt Dupuis]

Sorry, John... I just saw this and you forgot to ask. I surely would have tried making something up, 'cause I don't rightly know the answer. It's probably in the .ini file somewhere but I've never tried fixing it. I haven't played with MS in about 6 months now, either...

I also don't use that ignition tuning screen very often because of this annoying problem. REALLY, I prefer the Megalogviewer table tuning interface. I wish something like this would become part of Megatune. I like how you can drag and select an entire row, or box of cells, then just tap the increase or decrease buttons. It is rare that I ever want to change juts one cell at a time.

[The Aspirator]

Wow I didn't know that you can drag and change multiple cells at once in MLV! That's awesome, like you I tend to need to do that alot. Does it work in real time? Or only for datalogs? Unfortunately my tune-top is so old that it doesn't have enough RAM to even run the java appelet required to run the new MegaLogViewer, which sucks cause I love that program. So I just go out and tune/datalog, come home and transfer files from my laptop to the home computer using floppy discs.

Unfortunately its not real time, It would be great if it were integrated into megatune at some point. I just use it to tune the tables when I am studying my datalogs. I do like it for that though. My old Pentium II runs the java OK, but if I get too big of a datalog file, then it chokes 64mb ram in my old workhorse tuning computer is usually enough, but not always.
