Default Thundermax software update

I just upgradedmy Thundermax software to the 2007.0.6 version, and now the map update feature doesn't work. I can't even get a list of the current maps. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

FWIW... I tested the map update function with 2 different SmartLink versions: 2006.17.11 and 2007.0.6

Both returned the same message: "Update NOT completed - No Update available."

Zippers may be doing file maintenance over the Holiday weekend.

Yea, that's the same error message I'm getting with 2007.0.6. I guess I'll try again later in the week. Thanks for the responses and enjoy your long weekend!

Is this the long awaited firmware update or just a Smartlink update? Asuming it's Smartlink...what does the update do?

With SL 2007.0.6 & firmware version 45 it gives you timing maps and some decel options in Basic Settings. You need the new firmware version 45 to utilize these new options along with the 2007.0.6 SL software.

Zippers sent me the Firmware upgrade even though it hasn't been released yet. But...please bear with me, how do I take this file from an e-mail and upgrade my module?

Save the attached firmware file to your desktop or other location that you know where it is on your PC by either right clicking it and selecting to save it or from the File menu in your email client. Then upgrade your Smart Link software if you haven't already done so. Then just go thru the normal Firmware upgrade process in Smart Link. You will get to a point where it asks you to select the firmware file you want to use. Drill down and select the 45 version firmware. Your done.

I loaded the 2007.0.6 softwareon my desktop and it works just fine, so I guess the problem is with my laptop. When I pull up the EFI Map Listings/Definitions page there are no maps listed, even though the Thunderheart folder shows they do exist. I have completely uninstalled the software from my laptop, and re-installed it with no success. It worked just fine until I installed the update.
