EVENTS: Add staggered start capability for Team Time Trial and Chase Race style events
As the TPV TTT League participation grows we have more suggested feature enhancements that will increase appeal with the added benefit that they are closely akin to another popular event type: Chase Racing making for potentially broader, high impact enhancements for the community.
The most requested enhancements for TTT are:
- Visibility of other teams as we race in a TTT (ghost form or normally appearing avatars)
- Preferably no draft between teams as one passes another but optional inclusion of inter-team drafting
- Staggered start times between teams based on team ARR or perhaps organizer chosen gap times

EXTERNAL: Apple Health integration
Currently TP "reads" from apple health. Could you please add a "write" function? My current UX is I start my scheduled workout on TPV, then I start an indoor cycle session on my apple watch. (I want my workout data to be sent to apple fitness so my monthly kms and time gets added up, among other things). Anyway, these two sessions get sent to TP and I have to delete the apple one so two don't show up on TP.
I think the simple fix is have TPV "write" to apple health.

UI/UX: "climb pro" like feature
The profile of the course is shown on the bottom, but its hard to evaluate the difficulty of the next slope and the actual length. It would be great if some pop-up information would appear 30 seconds before the start of the climb indicating mean slope % and length of the climb.

WORLD: Terrain - Graphics inspired by a real world cycling destinations
As you create new maps, have them inspired with terrain and visuals like real world cycling hotspots. For example, Mallorca, Belgium, France, Italy, England, Southern California. Realistic inspired rather than video game silliness.

HUB: Apple TV Bluetooth connection limitation
Are there plans to introduce a phone app that can act as a sensor bridge to get past the Apple TV limitation of only being able to pair two devices? Have an older smart trainer with no cadence sensor built-in so have to forego the HRM pairing.

WORKOUTS: Expanding the workouts library
Please can you add more workouts and ones with more variety to the library. There are too few workouts in the App when compared to other platforms. Please can you add more or let coaches submit their ideas
Thanks.19 votes -
PLATFORMS: Linux Version
Having the ability to run TP Virtual on Linux would be really nice.

EVENTS: Custom event pacebot
What if you could customise a pace bot... no rubber band but any other bots added to the event stick with the pacer.
Options for the bot:
- progression - ramps up over the duration of the event
- Workout - follows a workout from your collection (this is the gamified workout ticked off)
- Climber - hit climbs hard and recovery on descents / flat
- Sprints - ride easy with intermittent sprints
- Fartlek - random intervals of varying length and intensity
Sure other people can add some more ideas. Weight and FTP of the bot should also be customisable to match your…

MECHANICS: Increase Climbing Rating Importance for Races with Significant Climbs
Summary:
When calculating event ratings for races that include categorized climbs (Cat 4, Cat 3, Cat 2, Cat 1, or HC), the algorithm should place substantially more weight on a rider's climbing rating rather than relying heavily on TT and Endurance ratings. This would create more balanced competition in hilly/mountainous races.Problem:
Currently, the event rating system appears to favor Time Trial and Endurance abilities in any longer race, even in races with significant climbing. This leads to several issues: Climbers with lower overall ratings but strong climbing abilities are placed in lower pens than appropriate. Larger/heavier riders with strong…12 votes -
FITFILES: Stop Virtual from auto-saving to TP account.
After a ride Virtual asks me if I want to discard the ride (I assume to stop it syncing to my TP account) but it ignores me and auto-saves to TP anyway. Then when a sync my watch to Garmin Connect (which is linked to TP) I have two workouts in my account for the one ride. It's easy enough to delete one but my TP account is also linked to WKO as well. The discard my ride button is ignoring me.

UI/UX: w/kg
I understand that you don't want to show w/kg for the riders around you and I understand your reasoning. However, on my bike computer in real life I have my power data set to display as w/kg NOT a power number. It would be nice to have this as an option in the HUD display of my data that others can't see. I think others have also moved away from viewing a power number and instead use w/kg. Again it would be nice to have this as a power option in the displays that are private to the user.
33 votesMany thanks for this more nuanced suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
We've deliberately not declined this one and will add it to the list of suggestions to consider in more detail. Whilst the general position remains that we deliberately choose not to publish this metric, it potentially could be displayed for yourself only (and be blank when viewing other riders) as an option in the custom UI.

UI/UX: Bot Identification
You recently declined a persons suggestion (on/off toggle to identity bots)
This after event scenario does zero to help during a group ride, event, etc. to be able to chat with other riders, ask questions, etc. We need to know Bots from real humans DURING the activity.
Today's group ride, several riders seemed frustrated to who was a real human and who wasn't. This was a group ride, not a race, so being able to 'talk' is something leisurely riders like to do.
It is hard to ask a rider to come back to the group or help them to…26 votes -
MECHANICS: Gamify it!
Add some dopamine boosting elements:
- some kind of bonuses (not necessarily like Zwift ones)
- achievements
- some bonuses for riding through gates
- live ranking of segments
- checkboxes / stats of completed routes
- ranks / levels
- etc25 votesMany thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
In general, some degree of gamification can be good, but we need to be careful not to go too far - for example, we would not want to do anything that encouraged an athlete to train when it would be better for them to be resting etc.
It's therefore an area we will certainly be looking at, but at this stage it's unclear what changes we may or may not make.

WORLD: Equipment - Weight, aerodynamics etc
I think it would be in keeping with the goals of TPVirtual to have equipment choices. In real life, equipment choice is very important and impacts my race results. The bike i would choose in order to be competitive in flat TT race would be very different from what I would choose for a climbing race. Equipment must be bought IRL so perhaps a way to 'earn' it within the game would make sense? Regardless of whether it's considered a 'gamification' I think we should be able to have a 'garage' and some way to accumulate various equipment that we…

EVENTS: Meet Up's / Custom Workouts
Is there a way to do a group meet up where everyone stays together but is able to do their own workouts set out on training peaks. We have a lot of athletes on different plans so would be ideal.

EVENTS: Integrated Discord Voice Channel support
Discord voice channels are widely used by indoor cycling teams and it would be very useful to have Integrated Discord Voice Channel support built in TrainingPeaks Virtual. And for example, it could be also used by team managers during the races and also as general voice chat in group and group training rides.
As we are at it, also Discord text channel support could be very convinient in prepearing events and managing teams.

UI/UX: Exit button in the Hub
I tried TPV for the first time after looking around it a bit. Seems the Hub is the central point for things to happen. You enter your activity from there and then end up back there afterwards. Big problem for me was I couldn't find where to quit the thing. There is no obvious easy to see button to Exit!!! First few times I ended up force quitting because I couldn't find how to get out. Eventually I found the save and exit button hidden at the end of all the other stuff in Options!!! This is so difficult to…
