*edited by e.

If you have a software upgrade at a minimum, I recommend that you consider listing what was fixed or added. With the current posting, a user has no idea if a really cool feature was added or a major bug was fixed.

The "NoDocs" version is working fine. Thank You! Looks really nice. Just in time for the Glen this weekend! YAHOO!!

All fixed now. Download at will.

I would like to request Vista x64 support for your USB drivers. You probably have some 64-bit capable hardware around the office, just need the 64-bit version of the Windows OS. If you own a retail copy of Vista 32, you can request a 64-bit CD from Microsoft for only $10 (shipping). See here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/1 ... fault.mspx

One of our wishlist items is speedier communications over the USB. We will add 64 bit support to the wishlist as well.

Does Traqview work under 64-bit Vista, just not as a native application?

Or does it not work at all?

Traqview works for analysis, but I cannot connect to the DU. The USB driver install fails because of the OS difference. Microsoft provides some driver resource kits that are supposed to help hardware vendors port their drivers to 64-bits (no idea how well this works..). I have to pull data files off the DU using my laptop, then transfer to my Vista x64 desktop using a USB thumb drive or e-mail, etc. I would suspect I cannot update firmware either, but have not tried. Oh, and I can't rename drivers/tracks/vehicles or really anything that requires connection between Vista x64 and the DU. Hope that helps!

Thanks. Very helpful. We were not aware of the limitation and will try to resolve in an upcoming release.

The new software is really great. Handling multiple files and the segment analysis is beatiful. Thx a ton here as well!

PeO.

No, thank you. It really motivates our programmers when they know that customers appreciate their hard work.

Okay, I have four track days on the new software. Well Done. Big improvement! Looking forward to the next release. Maybe you can help the TrackVision folks to update their software. It is truly sad, and when used in conjunction with Tramqmate, it brings down the whole experience.

I agree about the Trackvision.

I use the trackvision program to just generate the dashboard and use an editing package to do the overlay. The end result is SOOO much better.

You can see the difference here - http://ontrackvideos.blip.tv

Chris

I'd like to chime in for vista x64 support. Cannot connect the traqmate with the usb drivers, as they won't load.

Michael Olsen, NY

We have located the drivers we need and will be adding 64-bit support soon.

Do you expect to have 64 bit support for vista by -- say the spring driving season (for us in the NE)?
