Health Issues Ongoing
Whilst my health is still affecting updates, I'm still working on the next version of the tuner to fall in line with the new release of Forza Motorsports coming in October.
Today I've updated the tuner with the latest cars in FH5, however did you know that whilst waiting on the Database list to be updated, you can simply select Other from the tuner menu, and you can still continue to tune the latest cars without waiting on me to add the official list?
I again apologise for the delay in getting these cars into the tuner officially, however I do my upmost to keep the database updated whilst my health is still playing up.
Heres hoping things improve in the coming months.
Kindest Regards,
FreshGalnet.

Health Issues
Over the last few months my health has been getting worse, and as such I was unable to update the site and or answer questions. I apologise about this.
Today I have updated the database with all the cars added since my previous update in August last year. I understand that a few users have sent really nasty emails, demanding that the database be updated etc as soon as cars are released.
Trust me, if I was healthy enough, this would have been done, as had been the case for the previous three years. What I would like these people to understand is ForzaTuner is FREE, I don't request anyone pay for using the site, nor storing their tunes within, I could understand the anger if I were charging for this service, however this simply isn't the case, and any modifications and or updates are done throughout periods where I'm not suffering from paralysing pain in my arms, legs, and lower back.
My health will always come first, I hope most of you will understand this.
I had been debating with myself if to continue ForzaTuner, and I'll be honest with you all, I was meer seconds away from closing the site down. The abuse I've received has been unreal. Then just one email changed my mind..! A young player like my son (3 years ago) was struggling and their parent sent an email thanking me for allowing them to play the game they love, being able to tune, and get into modifying their car to their liking... I thought instantly "Amazing"..!
So for all the haters, I don't force you to use the site, nor do I make promises to you..! The site is free to use and if you don't like the site, or you don't like the tunes provided and can make them better yourself then I'm happy for you. But not once have I ever said that you aren't free to use any one of the other tuners available. I honestly don't mind.
However if you are like the example above, and find using ForzaTuner has helped you and you can enjoy the games more than before, then that's all tha matters to me. I can't type some of the comments received from those who have sent thanks to me (some are too rude..), but you'll know who you are, and all I will say is thanks for cheering me up.. they really did make me laugh.
So What's Next?
My plan is still to update the site for Forza Motorsports when it is released, but please note that this may take me longer than previously planed due to my current health conditions. I will however release a notice here with a time-line nearing the release date.
I also plan on adding new features to the tuner, these have been requested for sometime, and some of which I have wanted to add since the site launched.
Once again, if I have failed to respond to anyone who has sent feedback or required help over the last few months I am sorry. However I hope you now understand the reasons for this. Anyone who has requested their account be deleted, I have done this for you, I am sorry to see you go, but hopefully I shall see you again when you see the new additions that my Son and I have been slowly working on added to the portal.
Kindest Regards,
FreshGalnet.

Portal and API - Recoded and Updated
It was discovered by Devilish Accord that the API and Portal was producing Tunes that had major discrepancies when calculating Spring Values using LBS compared to KG. It took over 3 days, of emailing back and forth and multiple tests by 'Devilsih Accord' (day and night..!) to fix this major coding error.
The fix included a whole sever rebuild, reconfiguration of the Calculator and Algorithms, and a whole new rewrite of the API and Partial Rewrite of the Portal Tune Algorithms to resolve. This was by no means an easy fix, and at times it felt like a losing battle, however we both stuck to our guns, and worked on resolving this for everyone.
I'd like to personally thank 'Devilsih Accord' for his dedication to helping other tuners like himself in the ForzaTuner community and going above and beyond by taking up his own personal time to help fix this major coding error for everyone who uses ForzaTuner.
ForzaTuner was built by the community for the community and this is just one example of a user, who didn't have to do what he has done these last few days, to help better ForzaTuner for everyone moving forwards.
Thank you Delivish Accord, for everything you have done for us all..!
