No problem running on my Mac Mini. @Del C are you on Sierra? I'm not really a Mac dude it's only used for the bike trainer. The only other program I use on it is xcode. And I haven't used that in the past 6 months.

Running High Sierra on a MacBook Pro.

Have thought of buying an old Mac Mini like you have to run Sim programmes instead of running them on the MacBook

downloaded bkool beta tonight
no issues and was up and running 20mins later
i had done a run on zwift so wasn't interested in another blast but done a couple of miles of stouby-sejet
felt smooth changing gradients and although there was a lot of blue numbers ( maybe lack of effort my end ) it didn't feel bad at all
i have now set up Stouby with a lot of my ghosts
they range from a 124% effort to a 64 %effort
also set up another ride that says i done it on the tacx - seafront essex
and will try that

Try a chaingang start full power at the start and note how long it takes to move, one of the problems we have as none bkool trainer owners.

That problem is still there! I was left on the line for like 2-3 seconds with my Direto!

If you take into account those of us still using the Bkool units, with the exception of AAAC and Bill S ,I think it's a fair head start. As a matter of fact all of you fast guys should count to 25 before you pedal.

Well, on Zwift you keep spinning to start, where as on Bkool, you have to come to a complete stand still, before you can start. Maybe the starts would be different on the BSIM, if they employed the same method? We all know that you can spin like crazy at the start, before the resistance kicks in on a Bkool (Pro). I'm sure the same tactic doesn't work on a non-Bkool trainer.
