Lightbulb Map interpolation using a flex fuel composition sensor?

The maps right now include timing, fuel, boost, and I believe injector scaling. We may expand this range of maps, and for sure we will eventually setup interpolation between the two maps based on input voltage so that a flex fuel composition sensor can be wired up the ECU to make the Evo a true flex fuel vehicle.
Any idea if it is still planned to implement this feature?

Especially with the variation in ethanol content in the E85 available from E85 pumps, and with people switching back and forth between 91 & E85 leading to different composition mixes of 91 & E85, this feature would be pretty useful. Plus it would obviate the need to switch backwards and forwards between maps, accidentally running the wrong map etc.

His mapping of the fuel routines was an initial step. Why create a new thread insted of bumping the old one?

Not sure what / which thread you are referring to here.

'mrfred' post I quoted was taken out of a thread that is about 6 months old, and seemed more related to general E85 tuning rather than the specific question I am asking.

Advanced fuel control options

old but on-topic: flex fuel on stock ECU coming soon...

Now that v7 is done and have a stable base code layout to work from, I can begin work on the patch.
