2021+ F-150 FORScan List / Database / Spreadsheet

Not sure this is any better.

Sorry for the dirty screen and my son's switch playing in the background....lol

Maybe it’s me, but i’m leaning toward the one with the thrash metal soundtrack versus the switch.

So do you think that's a splash screen that is using the new Unreal for rendering?
Or asked another way, if you disabled Unreal, does that splash screen look different?

I ask because I enabled the 75th Anniversary splash screen BEFORE I enabled Unreal. And although Sync4 is dramatically affected by the engine, I don't think the 75th Anniversary splash screen was.

I must have missed something. What's with Unreal on Sync4?

It's the Unreal Engine that renders Sync4 with extraordinary depth and fresh theme. (so in a way of speaking, those video game driven technologies are improving Sync4)

Just a little comparison. This is startup from the Lightning. So they are truly leveling all of these trucks. Will be interesting to see if we get the 75th splash screen.

Ahhhh, so that's what that splash screen is intended. That makes sense. It's the Lightning.

The 75th splash screen will very likely be available in the Lightning as well since it appears it's included in the splash screen library of the latest APIM build? And it's the intended slash screen for the 2023 F-series?

If that is the default in the lightning, I doubt Ford is leveling them. They are likely using a common install package and using setting (which we access via forscan) to set it per model. We just have it because it's in the same "version" of the software.

In my '17, I could choose a mustang theme for the same reason (I think it was mustang).

I bet that's it. It's like I tell my devs, parameterize it! As in give me options to change the behavior without custom versions or redeploys to change something.

They are making a common package and using options to change them based on model. Similar to how us trucks can turn on the flare free headlights which are (we're?) Standard in Canada.

Feature Flags!!

Yeah I see now this boot animation is from the Lightning; sorry for posting like it was something not seen before but I truly hadn't seen it. I also tried some other hex values there beyond the 24hex for the 75th anniversary one but didn't find anything else. I'll look a little more before moving on with that.

I did try several other things like adding Drive Modes to the Features screen and while they did display and would react to the selection of the Drive Mode physical knob, the individual drive mode couldn't be chosen with a tap on the screen. Anyways, now that the weather is cooling off here I will get out in the truck more to experiment and will post anything interesting that is found.

Feature Flags!!

Another very important practice as well. And now that you mention it this is more like feature flags than parameterization. Good call ?

Now to get figure out how to get my devs to understand the importance of both....lol

Man that would be amazing if it worked. I really don't care much for the knob (though I honestly don't change modes much either)

No worries!
With Ford building only 2000 Lightnings per month, it's not a surprise that few in the world have ever seen that splash screen. ?

(Ford has been building that many ICE F150's every 48 hours for a decade)

Interesting. Is that something that has to be enabled with Forscan? Because I don't remember mine looking quite like that.

Also since it's powered by Unreal, has anyone figured out how to play Doom on it yet?

Yes. A Forscan edit. Perhaps the easiest edit ever with a simple "1" entered into a string, if memory serves. Although my old man memory doesn't remember which line.

It's gotta be posted recently.

This the one?

I found a couple of things today experimenting with APIM after my Sync 22228 update using the Unreal theme (7D0-02-03 xxxx xxx1 xx--). Make sure to reset Apim in FORScan (wrench tool) after changes.

7D0-10-01 x8xx xxxx xx-- Adds Oil Life to Settings, Vehicle

7D0-02-02 xxx* xxxx xx-- Climate Bar at bottom (use 2 for non-hybrid or 6 for hybrid)
