  2. FITFILES: Embed activity title in saved FIT files

    In the meantime until the Garmin Connect integration is released, I've been using a self-written tool (https://github.com/jat255/fit_file_uploader) to automatically process the FIT files produced by TPVirtual and upload them to my Garmin Connect account using some third-party library tools.

    One limitation (see https://github.com/jat255/fit_file_uploader/pull/13#issuecomment-2573526582) is that there's no way to access the name assigned to an activity by TPVirtual.

    Examining the FIT file specification, it doesn't look to me like there's a standardized place to put an activity title, but perhaps a "developer data field" could be used for this (https://developer.garmin.com/fit/cookbook/developer-data/), instead? Either way, it would…

  3. 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.

  4. MECHANICS: Better Virtual Gear Modeling

    Love virtual gear and had some discussion on this before and it generally works. However, the realism of virtual gear doesn't correlate to real gear shifting, for example in real gear I can do one shift (which might jump one or two teeth in a cog), but in virtual gear I might need to +/-3 (or more) to get similar resistance. Hence for pacing or TT, current virtual gear is ok but in a sprint, I still need to resort to physical gears so I can do a gear dump.

    Can we do a better modeling of the gears so…

  5. UI/UX: Display 2 options

    Currently, on iPad, when you extend your screen to another (larger) screen you can only extend rear or side views.
    It would be much better if I could extend the main HUD screen to the larger screen and choose the iPad to show one of the less important screen (eg rear view)

  6. OTHER: Easy Custom Kit Creation

    It would be great if the template was a cutout where the jersey is supposed to be. That way the user can put some colors and whatever design they want and then simply apply the template over-top of the design so that we don’t need to do any cutting out and such.

    The jersey design process is probably not designed for someone like me, I totally understand, but it is very non-trivial and much more difficult to create than I would have assumed going into it

  7. OTHER: Improve Documentation

    I was quite interested in yesterday's update, specifically this line:

    "Added Zen mode for focused training, riding alone in peace."

    "This week's release (see below for more details), headlines with more of your ideas, including the new Zen Mode, enabling you to train in peace and focus on your own riding without the distraction of other riders or chat."

    But I cannot find any documentation for "Zen Mode" outside of this comment. I have updated my app and searched everywhere for a Zen Mode function, but I don't see it.

    When new features are added, instructions should be provided somewhere.

    Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

    There's no doubt that the documentation can be improved, and we'll make that happen.


    In the meantime, Zen mode can be activated from Main Menu > Options > UI Settings and will turn off the display of other riders (and their chat) allowing you to ride in peace and just focus on your own training!

  8. UI/UX: Rethink user experience to ease onboarding and use

    A user of Rouvy for years, with dabbles in Zwift, Wahoo System, etc., and I’d largely settled on TrainerRoad for the past few years due to its clarity in use. Simple on screen graphics, informative, etc.

    But it does get a bit boring, so I was excited to try the TPVirutal. Oooff. All notes are using iPad Pro with latest version.

    • Login screen does not remember me, even when the box is checked. It’s a pain to have to login each time with user name and password. And using biometrics would be nice for login.
    • Font selection is brutal. Looks…

  9. FITFILES: Upload local FIT file if connection to server is lost mid-ride

    If the connection gets lost during the workout the result is an incomplete upload in Training Peaks main app. Nonetheless the whole workout file is recorded on my device as a fit file.
    The solution is to manualy delete the uploaded workout and reupload the file from the datafolder on you system.

    can you please automate this behaviour???

  10. UI/UX: Power based workouts

    Can the target power be larger as its hard to see on small devices.

    Also the bar at top of the screen that appears to move at will.... can that instead sit central based on target power and move to the left or right if you drift above or below the target power. Similar to the dial on zwift companion.

  12. MECHANICS: Automatically populate/update training zones when completing a test

    It is likely I completely missed something but if so it is likely something that many of the (hopefully) new users will have an issue with if they aren't familiar with TP / TPV and are moving over from another platform.

    I am new to Training Peaks and Virtual but have experience on "The Sufferfest". Today I did the Critical Power Test. When I went to look at the zones, the values therein had nothing to do with my test results. I am learning that there are many ways to calculate the zones and this needs to be done by…

  13. WORKOUTS: Allow workouts to continue when the network gets disconnected.

    The experience for me so far has been extremely poor and frustrating because I have gotten a "network error" issue and the ride shuts down mid-way through a workout. That's a super frustrating experience..it has not happened to me on Zwift. I'm not sure if it's a clientside or serverside issue but the app needs to allow a workout to continue even if there is a blip in the network.

    I'm trying my third workout tonight but if this happens a third time I'm probably not coming back.

    Many thanks for letting us know about this, and your support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

    This appears to be a bug as the platform should already allow you to continue riding on your own (and therefore able to complete a workout) even if you are disconnected from the server, for whatever reason.

    We've turned on some advanced logging for your account so if this happens again we'll get full diagnostics and will be able to understand what is different about your system's configuration compared to others (who don't see this issue) and to debug and fix the issue quickly for you.

  16. WORLD: Avatars - User height information used for rendering taller or smaller rider

    Could you implement different sized riders by using the user height data? This could potentially also require size selection for the bikes as well. I mean why should 160cm user look same sized as 210cm user in TPV?

    I assume the user height and weight data is already used in calculating the resistance when riding uphill (how about downhill?) but do you also consider the height for the increased body surface area to have an increased wind resistance? Or when pacing a taller rider one could have more/better draft?

    Planned  ·  AdminGeorge Gilbert (Admin, TrainingPeaks) responded

    Many thanks for your suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

    To confirm, the TrainingPeaks Virtual physics engine already takes into account the height and weight of riders, so - to use your example - you will already experience a higher drafting effect when sitting behind a larger rider.

    All that is currently missing is the graphical representation of that.

    Add target cadence values ​​for intervals in the left Workout Data panel if they are specified in the workout. This is necessary so that you are prepared for changing cadence in the next interval.

  18. EVENTS: Omnium Racing

    Allow for an omnium style event to be ONE large race with sub races within the same event (aka you never leave the player pool). I did my first omnium last night and it was awesome, but I realized because each race in the Omnium is separate there are 3 challenges that we face because of that:

    1) bots don’t race in all the races
    2) the bots lose their fatigued status
    3) the points for each race are calculated manually after all races are concluded instead of being totaled up in game like a standard points race.

    I think…

  19. TP SYNC: Improve HR zone import from TP

    Power zones are imported well from TP, presumably because most people use 6 or 7 power zones as standard. TPV assumes the same for HR, but a 5-zone system is more common. Every time I open TPV, my Zone 1/2 boundary and Zone 2/3 boundary are the same, presumably because I have only 5 HR zones defined in TP. Each subsequent zone boundary is off by one zone compared to my TP zones. If the number of zones cannot be imported from TP, then I request that the imported zones are justified to Zone 1/2, rather than Zone 6/7.

  20. EVENTS: Set # of bots on group rides

    When creating a group ride, would be great to be able to set the # of bots you want added to humans.

    Today, # of bots is determined by max # of riders less the # of humans that sign up. But in most cases don’t know how many humans will sign up for a group ride ahead of time, so can have too many bots.
