Zwift Ride & Rouvy

[Thin-White-Duke]

Hello Roberto,
I'm quite exited when I heard about the possibilities of your app, esp. that I can use virtual shifting of my Zwift Ride together with Rouvy. I already downloaded the app on my iPhone, then I read (somewhere) that I have to use a beta-version to get things going. Is the current version that I downloaded yesterday from the App Store the correct one, or do I have to upgrade to the beta version somehow?

Thanks and congratulations to your awesome work!!!

That version is already perfect! Give it a try and let me know! Roberto Viola Software engineer and open source enthusiast http://robertoviola.cloud Il giorno ven 25 ott 2024 alle 18:36 Thin White Duke < ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Hi Roberto,
I tried with my Zwift Ride Virtual shifting and Rouvy. In principal it works quite fine, but I also made some observations - maybe they are of interest for you (or they are simply a lack of my own competence in using your cool app appropriately 😊).

• I have the impression, that riding at the same slope, same gear, no draft does not feel like I have the same resistance on the pedals (unlike on Zwift courses where I have direct connection to the virtual shifters, w/o QZ)
• The increment when shifting gears is very different when using the +/- tiles on QZ compared to using the buttons on my Zwift play. E.g. with a gear gain of 1 the tiles move the gears by 1, the buttons shift gears more than one (2-3) and even the levers on the Zwift play shift the gears by another, different increment.
• The increment when shifting gears up is different than shifting down using the Zwift play buttons/levers
• It gets even more complicated when I use a real number for the gear ratio like 0.5. Shifting 3 times up, then 3 times down I'm not back at the same gear
• I tried the experimental feature to use the Zwift gears table logic. At start, I have the gear 0 shown, suppose this the minimum gear, at least I cannot decrease it to neg. values ... the resistance with this gear on flat ground is quite high, so when I enter in a section with some slope > 4% it's almost impossible to keep the wheels turning (at least for me). Is it possible to adjust/offset the resistance for gear 0 when using the Zwift gear logic?
• I do not really understand the gears offset parameter in the general bike options (could this also be a negative number?). Does it also work in together with the Zwift gear logic?

Sorry for being that lengthy with my observations and descriptions.
Cheers!

Great!

If you can send me a debug log I can check it https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/wiki/How-do-i-get-the-debug-log-in-case-something-doesn't-work%3F

Did you enable the gear debouncing setting in the zwift accessories settings?

• The increment when shifting gears up is different than shifting down using the Zwift play buttons/levers

Did you play with the gear zwift experimental setting in the zwift accessories settings? Are you on android or ios?

• It gets even more complicated when I use a real number for the gear ratio like 0.5. Shifting 3 times up, then 3 times down I'm not back at the same gear

Maybe it's because of the slope? Anyway with a debug log everything will be clear

Share a debug log and I will understand this

Do you mean gear gain?

Thank you very much!

I will log my new session and send you the report.

Did you enable the gear debouncing setting in the zwift accessories settings?

No, will do the next time.

Did you play with the gear zwift experimental setting in the zwift accessories settings? Are you on android or iOS?

I will try the "Buttons debouncing" option for sure. I tried "Zwift app ratio for gears", but in the smallest gear "0" (could not switch to a lower/neg. gear, but I think this is intended so) the starting resistance is too high to pedal comfortable. I'm on iOS.

Do you mean gear gain?

No, the option right below: "Gears Offset". I thought if I put that to e.g. -5 the gear "0" when using "Zwift app ratio for gears", than I can lower the resistance.

Ok let me know! With a debug log will be easier to answer to your questions!
