I don’t know, I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to log into the dreadful Elite ‘Upgrado’ app (in spite of using the right email and password…) 😠

I managed to log on to Upgrado and run whatever firmware updates were outstanding. The steering unit pairs with Zwift by Bluetooth and Zwift shows me the little handlebar symbol, but turning the bars just does nothing. :dry:

In case this is any use to anyone, I've just done a diagram of the Zwift Play buttons layout to help remember what they do.

The steering and braking is pretty intuitive and ingrained so not bothered with that.

Why is it A, B, Y, Z and not A, B, C, D or W, X, Y, Z?

No idea. B for back is the only one that makes sense. The orange Z for Zwift I can understand. Y and A? Who even knows what design decisions went into that? I prefer a picture with locations. I don't really give a damn what the buttons are called, I just want to know where they are :laugh:

Well A, B, X & Y are historically the traditional four letters for buttons on a console gamepad (unless you're a Playstation person), so I guess that because they wanted a "Z"wift button, they just made it Y & Z instead of X & Y.

EDIT - in fact they have literally swapped X for Z - looked up a photo online and the Z button is in the same place as X would normally be on most gamepads, so I suppose you could say it's actually A, B, Z and Y in that order.

You absolutely whooped me Alex full 2 mins faster. :okay:

I was buggered after Libby, got dropped off the front with two others near the top. But looking at the lineup on ZwiftRacing.app, there were some very strong riders in that race. Also got up at 0430 this morning to do an airport run, so starting the day with body battery of 60 😁

Feels odd to have been awake for 6 hours by 1030, been to Luton and back, Tescos and then a full warmup and race. Ready to start the day now :laugh:
