No do you all believe myself and Bill that this is not 'more realistic'!

Even though it's annoying to be struck by the dead stops (especially when competing with others who are not), I still think the end result is closer to reality now. The former scheme was better for the self confidence, but gaining a minute by slingshot'ing over a well sized hill is not more realistic than loosing 10-20 seconds on a dead stop.

I wonder if someone accidently put in a minus instead of a plus in the equation, when estimating the additional effect of the watts the rider put in on transitions .

since this update my watts are all over the place ! i am getting more going up a 1% steady than if i try hard on a 10% - that can,t be right can it ? it used to be completely opposite to that , it seems that i am competing with a sea of blue and green jerseys while i am staring at another demotion even though rides i have done before i am being told i am doing my best times !! something is a bit screwy

Berty, you need to soft soap the Bkool admin

Being able to get blue Jersey does seem to becoming quite common. I will cherish mine until Bkool notices I am a fake

 

[Goldwolfie]

I think I will be blue. At least thats the colour of the default kit I've been issued afaict.

I'm getting old and knew it wasn't our normal yellow outfit.

Perhaps we should all try uninstalling and purging our computers of anything bsim/bkool related and then rebooting and starting again from scratch? It is software after all

I've not been on the trainer since I got an email telling me I needed to update my ftp. That was around a month ago. I'm assuming by this point I've been demoted to wearing a potato sack.

I can't get the bsim to start this morning. Rebooted several times but no luck. It seems to be glitchy since the Windows 10 update. Will try different PC with windows 7 this afternoon. Anyone else having problems?

Depending on your equipment, you could be facing both software and firmware updates.

 

[CXRAndy]

Switch on pc now start bsim and accept updates. Restart pc, place pc near trainer and start bsim and see if it wants to update firmware. 40 mins to go

Usually 7pm warm up 7.10 start
