ECU settings capabilites

Is there any hope, that full version will have any capabilites to edit ECU parameters, like: fuel injection mapping, changing EBC settings, ignition mapping, etc?
In my own car I have 'ECU Master Digital ECU Tuner3', and it will be cool if I can edit similiar features in Automation :)

Nope :) this will not make it into the game. It is not called "Automation - The Engine Tuning Game" for a reason. :P
The issue has been discussed in more detail already, you should be able to find that via the search function.
Cheers!

Re: ECU settings capabilites

Not even, for the ECU fitted cars, an option if the ECU will be balanced - performance oriented - economy oriented?

Re: ECU settings capabilites

This is already possible when adjusting the fuel and timing in the game. In fact, I think it's a happy medium between the overly-simplified "3 button select for balanced/performance/economy", and the hideously complicated "fuel maps with 256 numbers" (I just had a look at that Digital ECU Tuner 3 screenshot...).

If automation had a "Digital ECU Tuner" and if the devs adjusted the granularity, that level of detail still doesn't fit the purpose of the game. And knowing me, I'd probably start with a base map, and just make things worse. :lol:
