They are a pretty swish piece of kit, allowing all those things to be measured & the info passed in real time to the various computers requiring that info, and they do it using just the one sensor, instead of taking a number of sensors all aligned differently to measure each of the individual aspects of any attitude change or acceleration. :thumbup:
They also told me that as h0gr1der mentioned, the various model RT's, Rykers, & the F3's all DO have different VSS programming & response protocols, and also that the VSS programs have been 'updated' over time, as they've learnt more & received 'customer feedback' (remember, it's BRP that's their customer!) so the latest models may not react in quite the same way as earlier versions do..... :lecturef_smilie:
Help any? :thumbup:
