Launch Control Settings X3MC

Can someone post up that image of the launch control settings people are using in the M settings.

It's been posted in various threads and I cannot find it for the life of me.

Any other best practices for launch control? figured we could post them here for easier searching...

Well I launched mine for the first time the other night and it went well. I tried to do a second launch and for some reason launch mode did not engaged and I bounced first gear off the limiter. I am thinking that maybe I did not have the brake depressed enough when I mashed the gas?

Is there any major difference here vs just brake boosting and going?

Ah ok. Yeah I definitely had not gone a mile before second attempt.

They really do make it more complicated than it needs to be.
