This Dynomation-5 Release has several updates and fixes: This current update version is 5.14.0325 If you have requests for updates/features in Dyomation-5, contact: latherton@motionsoftware.com. Following are the changes or additions for each version of Dynomation-5 since the initial release of Version 5.01 in April, 2008. ----------------------------------------------------------- Version 5.14.0325: * New! E85 fuel modeling added Fuel Type and A/F Ratio Menus. * Reset FE power calibration back to version 5.11 levels. * Fixed error in Iterator for WA engine step of 200rpm. * 050 Timing on engines tested by the Iterator is no longer reset when leaving Iterator (however, new engines created and saved by the Iterator DO have 050 cam timing reset since only STS timing is modified in the Iterator, original 050 timing is invalid). * Improved simulation stability added as WA Mode increases from Course to Fine. * Corrected Optimize functions in graph, right-click menus.
