Is anyone successfully using the new pixel king firmware (v1030)?

I've updated the firmware in all devices + new ever ready batteries in all. If I leave "wireless = off", ETTL with multiple flash units works fine. When I turn wireless ON, ETTL does not work! It activates all flashes at full power. However, in the same "wireless = on" mode, I can go to manual, and all data is transferred to the flashes (zoom, power levels, curtain settings, etc). The only thing that doesn't work is ETTL, regardless of the A:B settings, ratios, etc.

Any thoughts? Anyone successfully use the Wireless = On in ettl mode with the 6D?

I've never shot ETTL with the kings... manual all the time... I'll give it a go as soon as I can and report back.

FYI... Manual works flawlessly for me, I'm on 1030 FW.

Sorry for the delayed reply.

ETTL is working fine with the kings on my 6d. Tested with 3 speedlites; 600ex, and 2 430ex ii's. Set all three on different groups. Was able to adjust the ratios and the flashes followed as expected. I might have to shoot this way more often.
