OTHER: How to navigate TPV
After watching the last TP YouTube video about TPV (great video; George Gilbert is a brilliant guy), how about a weekly 10-minute video showing how to use/navigate TPV? It could help those who are new to TPV.

PLATFORMS: Roku Version
I love that this has been added to Apple TV. Unfortunately, I don’t have that device. I am hopeful that this development means there is capability to expand to other platforms, such as Roku. Is a Roku edition in the works?
Warm regards!

PAIRING: WattBike cadence support
On the WattBike Trainer (old version of the Air, I think) at the gym the power sensor is read reliably over Bluetooth. However, the cadence sensor is never found. Oddly, TP Virtual does find a couple of cadence sensors for rowers in the gym nearby. Additionally, my Coros watch correctly picks up cadence from the Wattbike. In turn this tells me the scan for cadence is working, and the Wattbike is broadcasting cadence data. It's just that TP Virtual is not picking this up.

EVENTS: Points for Stage Races
To better mimic stage races there should be an option when creating a race as part of a series to have a scratch race which also includes separate points categories for sprint and mountain sprint locations. At present you must make it a points race and there is no differentiation between sprint and mountain points leaving to the organiser to dole out the jerseys.

MECHANICS: Lost connection to server
First two rides on TPV resulted in two incomplete rides. I lost connection to the server 20 minutes into the first ride and 31 minutes into the second; neither session could reconnect for me to continue. What I did ride was uploaded to TrainingPeaks as I was able to save the ride and seemed to still be connected when I returned to the hub. Never had this happen on IndieVelo.

New feature: Race against own Ghost
A cool feature could be if one could race against own ghost on e.g. previously completed routes. Earlier in other simulators I have been enjoying this feature. E.g. Bkool. It gives great motivation trying to beat yourself. It is a good alternative to events, if I want to start training right away without waiting for an event to start.

MECHANICS: Join GPX files together
For quite some time now, I have been toying with the idea of virtually cycling all three climbs of Mont Ventoux in one day.
In principle, completing the route that is necessary in the real world to be accepted into the club Les Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux.
This iconic moutain is very popular without a question, i dare to say.
Climbs of the mountain have be integrated in étapes of the Tour de France more than 15 times.
To date, there are almost 20000 members of the club Les Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux, all having accomplished the above challenge with a certificate.…

WORLD: Improve the sound design to make TPV more immersive
There are already plenty of suggestions to improve TPV’s graphics, aiming to make the experience more immersive and realistic. I fully support these ideas and I’m genuinely excited about all the positive developments in that area. However, I believe one crucial element of immersion is still being underdeveloped: sound.
The feeling of realism, of getting absorbed, of truly being present, isn’t just about visuals. Sound is just as important. I’d even go so far as to say that sound is a key reason why I still find Zwift the most immersive of the three options: TPV, BikeTerra and Zwift. If…

PAIRING: Add the Elite Square Frame as controller
The Elite Square Frame connects to a Elite Trainer for virtual shifting. But it also has more controller buttons which can be useful for TPV. Is it possible to connect to both?

UI/UX: Change camera 1 slightly
Camera 1 goes further back, as we go faster.
Could it also go "higher on descents" and "lower in uphills" ? (otherwise the top HUD hides the riders a few meters in front, up the hill) ?
Maybe the camera could duck down and zoom in if you are aero tucking too3 votes -
HUB: Show ranking changes on TPV hub
Often you don't see ranking changes from an event if you leave before it finishes. Your rank changes can be seen in game, but it would be good if you could see the impact a race has had on your profile in the TPV hub.

WORKOUTS: Start riding immediately
When I'm doing a workout from TrainingPeaks, I don't want to have to reselect all the settings, wait forever for my smart trainer to connect, etc. I should be able to save a profile that I can just click into and start doing the workout.

HUB: Customisable buttons in HUB app
On the Remote tab in the HUB app, it’s quite hard to navigate through the options efficiently using the arrows and enter.
It would be good to be able to choose a few of the most popular in-game buttons to have as a direct button press. Eg - cruise control or join.3 votes -
OTHER: Allow updates to be optional / deferred
There has to be a better way of doing updates. It would be great if the request to downloads of new updates be moved from the start of a session to the end of a session. Zwift does this as well and its a really bad design. If the software update is a large download an you have a slow connection, you can be blocked from starting your cycle session for quite some time or even miss a scheduled race which is worse. I would like to a option/warning at the end of my session to do the update now…

PAIRING: External Camera to determine rider position for CdA
Using external cameras (like webcams) and machine learning to determine the rider's actual riding position (on the drops, hoods, top, standing, seated, etc.) to change the virtual avatar riding position and also their CdA.

UI/UX: Improve AppleTV virtual gear control
Please map the AppleTV remotes +/- buttons to increase / decrease power (in ERG or cruise control) and increase / decrease virtual gear (all other modes). This would be an incredibly useful shortcut. Reasons why all other solutions are not meeting my demand:
- Navigating the Menu to increase / decrease difficulty is very cumbersome and takes time, also when doing it with the virtual remote of TPvirtual Hub
- adding game controllers is not possible on AppleTV as no USB port is available and only two Bluetooth connections can be made which are needed for the trainer, power meter…3 votes -
UI/UX: Show positioning arrows when primary dashboard not shown
To be clear: not the route selection arrows, but the arrow that show if you have chosen to move the bike to the left or right of the road/group. The positioning arrows.
Use case: The zones provide really good information and I find that I don’t need the dashboard if I have them up, and this also frees up some screen real estate. But I do want to see the positioning arrows. Could they be separated from the dashboard and made a distinct item?

UI/UX: W-prime "Battery" Gauge
W prime meter in the GUI.
Just thinking out loud, any time spent above my CP (Watts x Time =Joules) that could be subtracted from my W-prime (KJ or Joules), and be shown like a battery percentage of how much W-prime I have left.
This would be great for learning how to manage your efforts. I image this would be similar to a Normalized Power when using FTP. BUt I would find a "battery percentage" of W-prime more accurate of what I could do in a race and easier to understand.

MECHANICS: Ride duration should stop immediately after ending ride
when you press END ride and confirm, the TPV apps shows you the 'recap' of the session (and the from-to screen of the metrics), then you need to confirm that and again press END ride to upload it. But the timer is continuing and a few times I didn't go through the whole 'End ride' sequence, finding a workout for 2-3 hours with 0 power in TP
