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.
50 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.

MECHANICS: Always show pacer in nearby riders when using pacer bot
I sometimes loose track of the pacer bot when there is a large group of riders around me. I can't see him/her in the nearby riders list and I'm not sure if I've got ahead of him/her or have dropped behind. it would be terrific if the pacer bot was always shown in the nearby riders list regardless of how many rider away he/she is. many thanks.

OTHER: iOS battery drains while sleeping
I've found that when I forget to force close this app after a ride, my iPad will completely drain of battery in a few hours even while asleep. I could understand if the device was open and the app was running, but it happens when the device is totally at rest.
It's kind of weird to me, because I've seen that if I ever have to minimize the app and use another one (like looking something up in a web browser), TPV will almost always totally close out and end my ride.

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.26 votes -
EVENTS: Pursuit Racing on the Velodrome
It would be great to be able to arrange pursuit racing on the velodrome for 1v1 racing, starting on opposite sides of the track for the usual kind of distances eg 1km, 3km, 5km etc..

UI/UX: Display dFRC
This has been proposed as a W' gauge, but since I know TP is thinking of importing the dFRC chart from wko5 to TP online, it would be great if that could also be translated into a metric (imperfect though it may be) to track on TPv. Sauce for Zwift has had one for years as a gauge, so I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to implement in some fashion. One easy improvement on the Sauce model would be to allow the user to set their FRC/W' rather than defaulting to 20 kJ.

PLATFORMS: Chromebook
J’utilise TrainingPeaks depuis plusieurs années (12 ans). Auparavant, j’utilisais beaucoup un PC portable, mais maintenant que je suis lassé de la plateforme Windows, je me tourne vers Chrome OS. Je me demandais quel serait le Chromebook recommandé pour utiliser la plateforme TrainingPeaks, autant pour mes entraînements structurés que pour mes sorties virtuelles.

MECHANICS: Sprint segments and PR's
I would really love to have visual sprint PR's and segments in the TPV routes. How Zwift has implemented it is really nice. Would be a great feature for me and could be a nice motivator during free riding/group rides/races.

PAIRING: Wahoo KICKR bike buttons for U-Turns
Please enable u-turns using the right-hand back button on the Wahoo KICKR bike in all TPV training modes.
At present the button does not cause a u-turn while free-riding.

UI/UX: Allow second display at different resolution
Bit surprised to find that second display doesn't work if the resolution is different, even when changing the in-game resolution to match it! Please add support to enable a second screen that might be at a different resolution. Being able to add a small USB C display as a second screen is great but often these are lower res low cost displays.

Improvements to Training Peaks Virtual.
1, Pacers should be marked on the small map by a coloured dot to show where they are within the pack.
2. Average speed needs to be selectable to show on the UI screen somewhere.
3. Percentage of Max HR as an average and currently, needs to be available on the main screen as some coaches want you to work to that level even when just riding with a pacer or in a race.
4. Some more interesting landscapes that are winding paths within trees or through woods would be good.Hope that makes sense,

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
- etc33 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: Avatar lean and drift around corners
Cornering currently feels completely off on TPV. This is partly due to line choice (a lone rider follows the curve of the road and doesn't take a racing line) but visually it is also disengaging to watch as the avatar does not put an outside foot down, lean and fight centrifugal force in a bend.
Biketerra have recently updated their avatar animations to do this, and it totally transforms the feeling of cornering. You can see their implementation here:

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…

HUB: Set TPVirtual weight while in TPHub
When I weigh myself in the morning, I wish I could easily update my weight in TPV right there. Instead, I have to hope I remember to change it later on when I open my iPad to TPV. I have the Hub on my phone, but not TPV, so I think it'd be beneficial to update weight in Hub.

WORKOUTS: FTP Test Issue
Today I have done the FTP test, The 20’ all out effort isn’t structured properly. I had issues with the power distribution and cadence. The two were not properly correlated. I’m sure there is something to do to improve. I was using the wahoo kickr core as trainer

EVENTS: Specify Start and End Point for GPX events
Now that we have GPXplore, it would be great to be able to customize the segment of a route that the event will take place on. We can currently set laps or total distance, but all routes start at the beginning of the gpx file. However, if we are preparing for an event, we may only want to use a certain segment of the route. Being able to specify both a starting distance and a total distance would accomplish this and allow users to have one gpx file but choose which portions of it to train on.

PAIRING: Add support for the Movesense MD ECG sensor on TPV
The number one cause of sudden death in athletes 35+ yo is cardiovascular. Besides that, AFib is the leading arrhythmia in endurance athletes. Let's improve TrainingPeaks Virtual, TrainingPeaks, and WKO5 by integrating real-time ECG plotting and post-session review capabilities with the Movesense MD sensor. This feature would allow athletes, coaches, and sports medicine physicians to gain a deeper understanding of their cardiovascular system during long exercise sessions.

WORLD: Terrain - Summit distance road signs when climbing
When climbing a mountain it would be nice to see road markings with distance to the summit. Now we have to look at the route histogram and guess how far to go. Road signs would add to the experience, concentration and motivation.
Thanks!

FITFILES: Add Heat Sensor Data to .FIT File
Today I completed two workouts where I displayed data from a Core Body Temperature sensor. While I was able to see my core body temperature on display in the UI, however it did not record this data to the .FIT file when the ride was complete.
