September 12, 2025

 

FuelTech is excited to announce the new update of the FuelTech Vision Software v1.44 with new features, enhancements, and performance improvements.

NEW IMPROVEMENTS AND CORRECTIONS:

  • Datalogger:

    • New feature to import logs from PowerFT ECUs (FT450/500/550/600) and convert them to VisionFT format, allowing you to compare FT700 logs with older logs. You must first save the datalog file as "VisionFT CSV File” format using FTManager datalogger software version 5.41 or higher to be able to import it into the VisionFT software. 

    • Log Overlay menus now appear vertically and laterally for better interface optimization.

    • Zoom shortcut in log overlay (CTRL key + mouse scroll). 

    • Added indicator to edit the smoothing of all channels simultaneously. 

    • Added option to auto-start the datalog at 0 RPM, starting when the ECU is powered on. 

    • Added values panel to datalogger. 

    • New datalog channel that indicates when the MAP sensor switches to MAP fallback (redundant).

    • Added datalog comparison (accessible via the Datalogger button in the top bar).

    • Map comparison option in datalog overlay. 

    • Enable/disable channel button in datalogger.

  • Shift light:  
    • Added the option to select either 0V or 12V to trigger the output  

  • Gear Control Management (GCM):  
    • Side LED and log channel when GCM denies a shift request 

    • Injection cut option in addition to ignition cut 

    • Minimum power reduction time when in closed loop

    • Fixed an issue that caused components to be deleted or duplicated during editing. 

    • Changed the order of data and model in the settings. 

    • Speed and RPM channels for the speedometer and tachometer instruments are now available. 

    • Corrected the instrument panel's aspect ratio and positioning on the 7-inch screen (the instrument panel may need to be adjusted on the FT700). 

  • Boostcontroller: 

    • Corrected detection and consecutive activations in 2-step mode. 

    • Corrected the target pressure by time after gear shifting. 

    • Corrected the timed target after a validated launch. 

  • Time based compensations:  

    • Corrected time based driveshaft rpm cut. 

    • Corrected time based driveshaft rpm ignition timing compensation. 

    • Time based graph screen now has background grid display. 

  • Boost control by ETC position:  

    • Target MAP by RPM and Pedal, enabling power management in turbo, supercharged and even naturally aspirated engines. 

    • Mostly used for road racing/circuit categories that need power equalization. 

  •  Electronic wastegate control:  

    • Speed control for approaching limits. 

    • Adjustable percentage to go out of closed loop control. 

    • MAP vacuum operation option. 

    • Freeze option with individual times for gear changes. 

    • Freeze option for throttle blip. 

  • P2P – Push to Pass:  

    • Added entry and exit ramp. 

    • Activation along electronic wastegate control and boost control by ETC. 

  • Pit Limit: 

    • Added setting for fixed position for electronic throttle, open electronic wastegate, injection cut and electronic blowoff valve. 

  • Usability: 

    • Alerts are now grouped in the alert bar and there is an option to delete all alerts at once. 

    • PowerFT  engine settings can now be imported. 

    • Improvements to progress indication when writing and reading maps.  

    • Added option to select whether to change the map name when writing is segmented.

    • New DRL (Daylight Running Lights) modes for circuit cars. 

    • Steering wheel position angle sensor reading, display and calibration screen. 

    • Lap time reading via CAN and display on screen of lap time, best lap and lap difference. 

    • Recording of separate channels for laps, lap time, last lap. 

  • Others:  

    • New advanced filter for noise for frequency signals in inputs such as speed, driveshaft rpm, turbo rpm, etc. 

    • Added option to configure the cut randomizer seed (allows you to change how the ignition cut is distributed in ignition limiters). 

    • Advanced logic for monitoring and resetting yellow outputs. 

    • Changed maximum turbo speed alert value.
