**OFT** Ask not what the forums can do for you, ask what you can do for the forums
 
I'm sure a lot of you are enjoying all of the features in the OFT just as I am. And I am sure if you knew that many of them were implemented by people who don't actually work for OpenFlash, out of good will, and didn't get compensated for it, you would feel like they deserve a little something in return.

If a friend comes over and helps me install something in my car, I make sure I have cold beer in the fridge for them. And Australia is kinda far for me, so I've never been able to provide @ztan, @steve99, @Td-d and @Wayno with the cold beer they deserve for all of their contributions.

So I'm proposing starting this donations page, where I will post their PayPal accounts so that we can be able to buy them a digital beer.

Back in my Android days, I would always donate to open software contributors, so I figured this shouldn't be any different. I feel like they are being taken for granted, or maybe people just don't know that they don't actually work for OpenFlash (that was my case until recently)

So please, @ztan, @steve99, @Td-d and @Wayno, post your PayPal addresses so we can send some love! :cheers:

EDIT: and the addresses are:
ztan: esltan@yahoo.com
steve99: steve.wendy.brisbane@gmail.com
Td-d: orenfza@gmail.com
Wayno: wayne.other@gmail.com

Don't forget about TD-D. He defined most of the roms and ported on some roms the launch control. Also you have Wayno who made lots of roms and a tutorial to DIY.

send from the coffeemaker

Thank you, I completely forgot about TD-D.
I don't recall seeing Wayno, but I'll add him too :)

Thanks mate. My sister lives in Chicago; maybe I'll be able to drop in. If you're down this way, you only need to visit Queensland.

My PayPal address: esltan@yahoo.com

I'm down for this.

Awesome! If you come visit, let me know and I'll get a round. And just in case you don't, there goes a virtual beer :cheers:

These are Wayno's biggest threads:
OFT - Guide To Dialling In Your OTS Base Tune
OFT - Example Maps for AT, E85 Economy, 98RON, BPB, Alternate MAF Scales
His work together with Steve99 info worked wonders to create my own custom OFT tune.

Threats?
 
Can't see these being much of a threat to Wayno - good threads though :thumbup:

Nice! Seems like the place to be haha.
I didn't even know they were part of the romraider team, it's good to know.
Anyway, there goes your virtual beer :cheers:

steve99 03-03-2016 08:45 PM

tdd is from romraider
ztan is just a random guy who writes ecu code and tuned a turbo 86 on flex fuel using opensource from scratch in his spare time, cause he was bored one day or something :-)

cuddefred 03-03-2016 08:51 PM

All good mate and just a bit of fun :cheers: I am sure your English is much better than my Flemish!!!
