Yes. Launch control is one of the documented custom features in the ATLAS library for the FA24DIT, and it is a genuine addition to the ECU rather than a map adjustment.
How it works. When the conditions are met - clutch engaged, a gear selected, and the vehicle stationary - the feature lowers the rev limit to a configurable launch point. The default is 4100 rpm. Activation is automatic once those conditions are satisfied rather than requiring a button or a menu.
Why a lowered launch limit helps. Holding the engine at a fixed point against the limiter lets the turbocharger build exhaust pressure and therefore boost before the clutch is released, so the car leaves with boost already made rather than waiting for it. It also makes launches repeatable, because you are not trying to hold a precise rpm with your right foot under pressure.
Requirements. Launch control needs ATLAS 2026.1 or later. Check your version before expecting to find it.
A few honest cautions. Launch control is hard on a drivetrain by design - it exists to deliver a violent, consistent start, and every component between the flywheel and the tyres absorbs that. On a platform where the factory transmission is already the binding constraint and tuners hold torque near 350 lb-ft to keep it healthy, repeated hard launches are a way to spend gearbox life quickly. The feature being available does not mean the drivetrain is indifferent to it.
It is also worth noting this is a manual transmission feature by nature - it works around clutch engagement, which is not how an SPT car launches.
So: yes, it is available, it is free, it works as described, and it is worth using thoughtfully rather than at every set of traffic lights.
