sure let em see ... but the responses on another thread on this forum may cause me to pull all subaru support. This community is really getting on my nerves with the comments regarding airboy. I dont particularly care which one you use but damn people ... if someone gives you something for free ... dont gripe about it. Ill be just as happy supporting the Mitsu, GM, Nissan(coming soon), Mazda, and Toyota worlds.

Here is a link to the thread in question: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2127052

Ill give the community a chance to clean its own members up first.

I like your VD program much better then the Airboy sheets.

Much, MUCH more user friendly! It is simple with a drag and drop, saving my car settings, quick and easy.

I like using it on a laptop with small viewing area, don't have to scroll around in a grid of excel madness.

Then there is also the ease of having VD being stand-alone program, don't have to buy excel. (I know most get it for free, but still)

And of I haven't brown nosed enough, there is no fear of screwing up the whole thing with VD, while with the excel sheet, I feel like I am going to break something when trying to use it.

The NASIOC community is a bunch cry babies, if you do decide to drop support, I beg you to just drop FREE support, I'd gladly pay 10-15 bucks for your program.

This is exactly what I have been thinking all along after reading the negative attitude, i just dont ****ing get it ! Hope you realize there some of us that appreciate all you have done to support us and I hope you continue doing so, I was so frustated with the Excel option I just stopped logging, it was a great program at the time but now we have VD, so user friendly, straighforward, clean, is not even funny !!!. Keep up the good work and don't pay attn to the negative nancies and if you do, as the other poster mentioned, offer a paying option.

There is no sense in letting those feeble minded piss ant turds get to you. If you do, then you loose, and they win.

Just know that there are certain individuals who really appreciate all your efforts and all your R&D that you put into this free product. I, am one of them. And I'm sure there are many, many more in this community that share my opinion.

I saw the other crap in that other thread and to be quite frank, that S*** is for the birds. I use both Airboy and VD and I have not one complaint about either one. They both have their purposes and both function quite well.

It insenses me that certain individuals have to be difficult and ignorant, but that's life. We continue to move forward, even when others try so diligently, to slow us down. That being said, I say you should do the right thing and continue to support the Subaru community. Haters will hate....and that's just the way it is.

[bbarnhill]

I guess time will tell ... we will see how the community responds to these guys. I say let the community clean itself up. My last post in the other thread sums up my feelings tonight. Maybe its the 15 hours at the hospital that weighed heavily on my comments ...

[bbarnhill]

Well Ive had a Mod tell me he would help me pack my toys and go home if thats what I wanted. I dont really get the feeling that the community would want that. I also feel that the more people that hate the better. After thinking about it ... the more they hate they more I know I'm pissing them off by making something great. I will say that if I am kicked off this forum for speaking my mind ... Ill remove subaru/romraider support. The moderators seem to be leaning toward support of the two on the other thread that really were causing the issues. I spoke my mind and I got talked to and not the two instigators. (The same two that ruined the original thread). It would be ashamed for you guys not to get to see the next big feature of Virtual Dyno thats coming.

nhat: did you mean to post something that didnt show up? Good to have you in here though.

[petedotuk]

Dont worry about the negative comments Brad, How can people complain about the numbers being so different from another programme when no two dynos read the same either??

I use VD just like a dyno operator uses a dyno, to see if my changes increase/decrease power. For some reason on every forum people think too much about numbers so they can have dick measuring competitions.

[bbarnhill]

Pete: thats how a dyno was meant to be used ... dont let that get out Ive found very few that use it that way.

[petedotuk]

Luckily I have a certificate 4 in motorsport which included a dyno operator module so I know what a dyno is supposed to be used for!

[tomtom84]

I really like this as well.

I use it to compare my power levels (changes), and it makes it MUCH quicker to see how my afr's and confirm my boost levels. I'm a visual person and it saves a few minutes over converting everything to the airboy sheet.

I would donate some $ to support this.

[Beetspeed]

Very cool to have this!

Brad, could you make VD accept DTA stand-alone logs?
www.dtafast.co.uk is quite a large community

Its a .dat file, hopefully there is an adaption possible?

Thanks in advance,
Walter

[bbarnhill]

Id have to have a copy of a log file to be able to see if I could support it.

Also I have to say that ... as I responded to a moderator a minute ago in the other forum ... I may get kicked for telling him that moderators should be unbiased. If I get kicked from this forum, Ill remove subaru support, along with romraider support. So get involved if you want to see Virtual Dyno stay in the subaru world. Let Scooby921 know what you think.

Here is the link to the other thread by the way ... http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...2127052&page=7

[STi MAN86]

This is a great program

[dysh@]

I'm using ecuflash for read and write.
Ecuedit for tune.
Virtual Dyno for compare results.
Great job Man. Want to see new features. Don't give up!

[bbarnhill]

Ill get the new version out ASAP but it needs a lot of work still. Good work takes time I hitting the coffee shop to go through some of these logs this morning that people have sent in that they say wont graph.

[BigPotato]

Nice work. Works great, fast and easy. I've used both Airboy and this and they each have different strengths. I'm glad that both exist, I don't see this as an "one or the other" situation, pick the right tool for the right job. I think it's great that individuals are putting in the effort to make good software available for free. Thanks again.

Some advice, take it or leave it:

Brad, instead of thinking about the Subaru "community" as a homogeneous group think of them as individuals. Sure some of them may be a-holes and undeserving of your generosity, but they certainly don't represent everyone that has a Subaru. Rise above the petty bickering and ignore them. If you can't, then you have to decide what to do. I for one would be very disappointed if you decided that a few negative individuals made it impossible for you to continue Subaru support, but you need to make a decision one way or the other. Don't keep fueling the fire.

well put sir ^ exactly my feeling about this telenovela

[bbarnhill]

I have decided to stay till the Mods kick me off ... since they offered to 'help me pack'. Its just this is the only online community that allows people to just trash talk a FREE app. So here is my phrase to them...

Im here to stay till you kick me ... get used to me. Get used to Virtual Dyno. Because on or off this forum, Ill support Subaru. Ill keep making it better, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

I just ask the voices and 'individuals' of the forum to voice their opinion on supporting it. Do you know what someone would get if they bad mouthed a free tool on the other forums ... flogged is what they would get. I am just frustrated that the Mod that came in the thread, obviously has a bias toward another tool, as he expressed in his last quote. I expected better from such a large forum. As big as EvoM is ... its a very nice community, and doesnt give me static about an F-ing FREE app.

So get used to my ugly face ... youll be seeing it a lot

[petedotuk]

Good lad Brad, now thats get the fresh logs I sent you sorted and you will have all sorts of other people interested in your VD software as it covers so many DIY tuners
