Well after a reboot of everything it's working as
you'd expect. I'm still really curious about that
forward metric, anyone know exactly what it's used for
and how it's calculated. I played with this for a
while and was unable to affect it despite my changes.
Not sure if that was part of the software iddue I
obviously had (since a reboot solved the issue) or if
there's something else going on there?
