7.1.11 is fine with 7b6h... I still haven't gotten around to running 12, FWIW... The control files are more of convenience than anything, as they relabel things like VANOS to VVTI or "cam settings"... You must have a control file present in every folder that a map is found in, but aside from that, both the older and newer control files will function just fine... Furthermore, the control files are used only for the editor. The EFI itself doesn't use the control files...

I'm not telling you to not be as up to date as possible, just letting you know that if you're slow to getting around to these most recent improvements, nothing bad will happen... The only crucial update to have is an editor that is 7.1.11 or newer before switching to any of the latest and greatest...

Hope that helps,

Phil

If something ain't worth doing right, it ain't worth doing...

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
