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?
16 votesMany 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.

UI/UX: Data fields for last lap / previous laps
It is not practical to use ERG mode for the majority of HIIT workouts. When riding outdoors, I am typically checking the power (and HR, cadence) of the last interval during the recovery interval, so I have ample time to decide if I am still reaching my target values. It would be nice to have a similar feature (last lap data fields) as well as a lap history available.

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…15 votes -
EVENTS: Event series with consistent bots in each race
I like TPV so far and can see enormous potential for bespoke tours populated by bots. If we could invite specific bots to races - and even series - then we could build a full grand tour with 159 bots and one human user. If I have to run an excel spreadsheet to keep track of cumulative GC rankings then ok but obviously if TPV provided a running leaderboard throughout the series then I’d be giddy.
Even better would be to have all those bots - and the human - in teams with a sprinter, a climber, a TT specialist,…

WORKOUTS: Cadence (Audio and Video) Target setting
See attached image
Enhancement Request:
Cadence Target Audio (On/Off) - Audible alerts only
Cadence Target Video (On/Off) - Visual Alerts only
Today we only have cadence targets audio and visual
Would be cool if we could do the same with power....

EXTERNAL: Event - Big TrainingPeaks Sponsored Event
I think it would be really fun to have a big event to celebrate and kick-off the new TPV platform with a bunch of popular/famous YouTube cyclists (and non-YouTube as well) to draw intrigue and attention to the platform on social media!
I think it would be fun for those already on the platform but also a great publicity campaign and way to bring new people onto the platform while it is still free!

WORLD: Routes - Indoor velodrome, no gradient, no wind etc.
An indoor velodrome, no gradient except banking, no wind, no weather etc.
For those who want a consistent training environment for whatever reason.
Being connected to the road network (ride in/out) would be super cool.15 votes -
EVENTS: Finish line animations, replay and podium
The finish line in all virtual racing sims is dull - there is no celebration, no podium, no photo finish or specific finish line camera. All of these things could make finishes much more exciting and viewable.
Finish line celebration animations could be unlockable.

WORLD: Avatars - drinking (reminder)
Hi,
I would like to suggest something. As drinking on a trainer is quite important and we should drink enough, what about a customable reminder for drinking intervals? Our avatar already has a bottle on the bike and what about if we see him/her drinking at predefined time intervals so we get a reminder to drink also? It's just an idea as with a Garmin computer you already have these kind of reminders. It would be cool and functional. Thank you.

EVENTS: LIVE Coach function
I am a cycling athletic trainer certified by the Italian Cycling Federation. I would like to ask if it would be possible to implement a LIVE Coach function on TrainingPeaks. I would love to create group training sessions, appearing as a coach in a window on the virtual TrainingPeaks platform, where I can explain and ride along with the athletes following me. This feature is also available on MyWoosh, but I believe it could be implemented and improved further.

UI/UX: Better HUD Setup Screen Needed (see my design attached)
Its so difficult to know what setting does what for the HUD. So I made one.

FITFILES: Warning if ride is not being recorded
I've lost data of a couple of rides now. It's very frustrating when everything looks fine during a workout only to discover once you are done that all the work you did wasn't recorded.
A warning about i.e. server connection issues would let me take action and restart the app.14 votes -
FITFILES: Apple TV users cannot access .fit ride when there is TPV servers/sync outage
When there is some glich on the servers - and ride is not saved to TP nor Strava.
and user uses AppleTV, there is no file locally saved.When installed TPV on Windows - aftewards - the directory:
C:\Users\user\Documents\TPVirtual\hash\FITFiles
is empty.As it probably does not download past rides to the Windows client.
So effectively - the ride still visible in the app - user is unable to get it.
Ideally if it is possible to do anything on the activities directly from the app - like Download button at least. Then user can solve the sync issue themselves.

UI/UX: Please create a Team Manager’s Dashboard (TMD)
It would be good if team managers (TM) could view additional data on their riders.
• An indication of when the last ride was could help to track down "dead" riders who are not active anymore.
• It would be good if team managers get an info when one of their riders got a DQ. Together with an error code, team managers could then help the riders to identify the problem and take remedial action.
• A team overview with some info graphics (maybe a calendar with events and signups) would make the TMD even better.
Other platforms do very…

WORKOUTS: Slope mode for workouts
The current workout options, are erg, terrain and flat - however the issue with flat is that as you accelerate, you have to shift gear to account for the increase in speed. The way other apps deal with this is a slope mode - so rather than simulate a flat road, they simulate a climb, so you can very easily adjust to your target power without the increasing speed requiring gear shifts. Usually this slope is also adjustable ala Zwift.

UI/UX: Current Lap metrics when pressing "L"
Currently we can hit L to make a lap (not a course lap) but other than putting a marker in the fit file its not much use.
I'd like to see lap metrics as data fields for the HUD to go with it like, LAP avg power, LAP NP, Lap avg HR, LAP avg Cadence, Lap time. Like you would on a bike head unit.
Useful for pacing climbs, adhoc intervals etc.

UI/UX: Planned TSS visible during workout
For planned workouts, it would be good to know the target TSS once you have started. Just beside the actual TSS would be good as in XX/YY. My coach via TP is big on hitting TSS targets, even if the actual intervals go awry.

UI/UX: Facial hair and skin tone
Can you please add in more options when it comes to rider representation, and include facial hair? I look real funny clean shaven.
Likewise, I notice all the skin tones are essentially "white".13 votes -
WORLD: Routes - more free rides
I'd like to see more middle distance free rides between 20-50 miles with a variety of climbing . . . just more variety. Thanks!

EVENTS: Automated email explain reason for removal from race
Suggest that when a rider is removed from a race (because of failing performance verification), they should get an email explaining why they were removed and ideally with a graph of the relevant section of data. This would create real transparency and help people to diagnose any issues.
