Good Luck
TC will open .lt1 (Lt1Edit) files.

Interesting, I never knew this. Do you know when they added this to the program? I've been using it since version 1.5 and I know it did not use to be able to open .lt1 files. That's why I converted the few .lt1 files I wanted to look at with the converter program a long time ago.

They're up to rev 2.23 and it appears they will be updating that shortly. The $EE PCM def file rev is CS from 03/23/09. The upgrades is free if you're registered. (I just noticed that updating pre 1.98 revs the procedure is different.
Email TC to be sure.)

I use Tunercat and LT1_Edit for literally hundreds of file saves using the same file and never had a problem.

My files are progressive, meaning all changes are done to the same file, then that file is tweaked a bit and re-saved as a new file, never starting from a fresh file.

I've heard if you change your speedo settings more than once you need to use a fresh file for that, but everything else not needed.

Over the years I've only had one speedo problem, meaning somehow the speedo scale got messed up, and the only way to fix it was using a file before the speedo was messed up and making the updates to that file.

Even my 2bar file is an evolved file that was eventually 1/2'd, no problems since.

I've never had a problem with cumulative tunes over the years. My LT1 Edit version is 1.9 from '01. So I've had it awhile...

Yeah, I've got version 2.2 right now, I always try to update at least 2 times a year. Just never noticed the LT1 reading ability. Then again, I haven't really looked at any other files than the ones I've created in a very long time, so that's probably why. Still, always good to find something new.
