I reckon Berty will actually be to 1.1 scale on that thing!
 
I just completed stage 1 Randy. Is it a course you’ve done before. The first half of the race the camera moved from fixed position to fixed position rather than moving with the avatar. The second half of the race the camera moved, but I was cycling in the clouds. Not unpleasant to be fair. And it could have just been an issue my end.

Don’t be fooled by the watts, it must of been a momentary leg twitch!

It seems to be OK for me at the start. I’ll try the full ride tomorrow.

Not a lot of difference in the pricing over the common platforms. You either want video or avatar, both, large populated rides or solo. Worlds your oyster

24hr 7day access, cheaper than one bacon butty and coffee, well maybe two :biggrin:

People like Zwift because of the numbers of actual riders. Even a 7.40am, there over 5000 users riding

I did enjoy Zwift , always something going on to suit what you needed . I left it because it promoted me so I couldn’t race with people I liked racing with even though I was going the same speed . I weighed less so had to kick out higher av watts to do same speed and that didn’t suit , so I did my own thing .
I could have just cruised round courses , got demoted and raced in same cat but I use turbo to get as fit as I can not to win races by any means
No app in the world will ever be able to allow for people who throw races just so they can win the next one and I don’t think they should even bother trying , just flag so you know not to bother with the idiots . But that’s just my opinion , we all use turbos for different outcomes
I try hard as I can and check numbers at end , some will manipulate figures during and some don’t look at the numbers at all - each to their own.

Well, I pay €4.99 for Bkool and £0 for MyWhoosh and TPV. Got me covered I think?

What about the training peaks virtual that took over indie velo? Any good?

That is TPV. If you like basic graphics (almost like BKOOL 3D) it is OK. They (George) have been focusing on all the other aspects instead. So many would argue, that TPV has the best dynamics, draft, anti-cheating mechanisms and community tools etc.
Hopefully the TP acquisition means he get access to other developers/designers as well and thus better graphics, cause currently I find the 3D pretty bland - like BKOOL which hasn't improved much in 5+ years...
