VEMS firmware versions

[Bram]

And also I would like to know if VEMStune offers additional features that make life/tuning easier or better, or is it the same as Megatune, but with just a different GUI?

Is there a list of improvements from 1.1.27 towards 1.1.62? I mean not too detailed, but just the biggest additional features and improvements?

I ask this because this list does not directly give me that highlights over view:

yes i agree about starting point.
some would actually say that since the 1.1.27 is 'not broken' then dont fix it ie dont change it.

Start with 1.1.27

agree. you'll find the most community support for it at the moment since so many people are on it and its a tested and known quantity.

1.1.62/3 looks nice so far. If you are adventurous you can give it a go. Personally I'm liking vemstune much more than megatune as I use it more and more. The newer firmwares like 1.1.62 generally no longer support megatune, which isn't necessarily a bad thing IMO.

Start with 1.1.27

So what version do you recommend to start with?

i talk to Marcel and Marc. Marcel is the person who makes VEMS.

Initially i started with 1.1.44 which didnt really work properly. I think the problem must have been the timing values though. I know that other VEMS tuners in the UK use that version without problems. I think(not sure) that the 1.1.44 or maybe 1.1.47 are the last versions that can be used with megatune. All others after that are with vemstune.

all intermediate versions have had small glitches here and there. Marcel is confident that 1.1.62 is working properly, although Marc is still working on it.

a lot of things are different from 1.1.27 to 1.1.62 though and its like using a new aftermarket ECU really.

hopefully the basic settings should work the same, and it would only be managing all the new tables.

Where are you getting the information on this from A80avant?

So one would be best to start out with 1.1.27?

I've heard 1.1.47v2 is good for boost control

I need to re-register to the VEMS forum I think

[A80Avant]

yes
vems offers new versions that have been partially tested and may not be 100% functional. This is why vems still ships ECUs with the 1.1.27 version. Otherwise it would give out the new versions.

having said that i know now that the 1.1.62 version which operates with VEMSTUNE not megatune is concidered to be the next official firmware. Im planning to try that out next year, if Marc has managed to get a good config. out of it to start from

I see a lot of VEMS users on here are running 1.1.27

Is there any reason to run this over the release 1.1.57?
