Ant+ "Not Available" in TDA SOLVED Hi All........I solved my Ant+ problem. Within TDA Device Manager I clicked on "Can't find my device" A message came up saying Ant+ software missing click here. This took me to a C++ redistributable 2013 download. The install solved the problem....

Cedric is saying that TDA reports Ant+ not available.........not that it is "searching". Same problem I have with TDA to this day and have given up trying to solve !!!

Hi Cedric

No. It doesn't seem to be an issue with the dongle. I'm using the Tacx Ant+ dongle .
It seems to be a strange issue with the users pc........Glad I'm not the only one with this problem. Spending money on dual Ant+/BT devices seems to be the only workaround.

Cheers.......Steve

Hi Spratzky If your friend got TTS 4 working with the Fortius trainer he'd probably only be able to use the un licensed rlv's. If you had TTS 4 working and have access all the sub folders then if you pass these on your friend may have a chance. Here is a link to a pdf file that may help get TTS 4 wo...

Hi Cedric I never found a solution to my Ant + not available issue on TDA. I came to the conclusion it had something to do with my dual boot set up. I'm assuming your laptop has just the one HDD. My workaround was to buy a dual Ant+/BT heart rate belt and a BT cadence sensor as i don't like how my N...

Hi

Lan will not work as this option is totally dependant on the Tacx Servers being online

Cheers........Steve

Hi mcorn VP 2 definitely causes issues. I always used to tell fellow riders in my Strava Club to switch to VP 1.........Although no issues now as no MP. One friend of mine couldn't get his Aube Valley rlv to work while riding offline . Told him to switch to VP 1 ........problem solved Whatever versi...

Hi All I can count on one hand the amount of issues I've had with TTS 4 over the many years I've used it !!! Once I had rlv freeze. Couple of times been unable to save a ride. Most issues I had was getting a spinning disc initialising error when starting an MP ride. This was solved by asking riders ...

Sounds like a project !!!

Hi Alex I don't believe this is the correct file. I've checked mine and it only has one ip address in it ( opened using wordpad ) I pinged the address and got a reply......So reply couldn't have come from Tacx. I would think that the TTS 4 program within "program files" would have to be de...

Hi ms6073 You quoted me above saying "TTS uploads the course to the server for the other users to download". Yes .........This is true......But if Tacx's servers are down then it's not going to work !!! Basically " Server on my computer" option is 100% dependant on Tacx's servers...

Hi Alex Good to hear that Tacx may have "forgotten" to shut down the Licence server. Full shutdown will probably be just a matter of time. I'm hoping nobody contacts Tacx to ask about the Licence server though........Just in case Tacx they remember to shut it down !!! p.s.......The link yo...

Hi Jimmy

Disconnect your pc from the internet.
If you were able to open TTS 4 two months ago you should still be able to open it now

Cheers...........Steve

Agreed !!!

Hi Alex

As you said earlier the above statement isn't quite true.
TTS 4 works perfectly on Win 10. Tacx wanted to move to a subscription model which meant the end for TTS 4 !!!

Cheers.........Steve

Hi Jimmy Like you I'm gutted about TTS 4 becoming standalone software but I will still use it. See below reply I gave earlier in this thread. Bottom line is that TTS 4 is now a stand alone product.......So 1) No GPS / Google Earth map will show 2) No Multiplayer of any kind 3) Only able to install T...

Hi All I don't have anything from Garmin installed as this is a clean Win 10 install so I could try TDA I'm beginning to think it's something to do with the fact I set up a Dual Boot. I already had Win 7 with TTS 4 and didn't want to risk losing it so I added a new SSD HD with Win 10 and set up a Du...

Hi mcorn Not sure I want to uninstall TDA as at the moment I've been given a free trial voucher and don't want to risk losing it. The other start up programs were Widows security something or other ( low Impact ) and the user interface for my graphics card ( low Impact ) All turned off, aswell as Zw...

Hi mcorn Yes ......Sorry. I did mean TDA does NOT see my dongle. I checked start up programs and turned off Zwift launcher.......This made no difference and also did not affect Zwift in any way There were only 3 or 4 programs on start up ( I have a clean install of Win 10 on 240gb ssd ) I can't reme...

Hi All Thanks for you efforts with this problem. Yes.......mcorn is correct. Ant+ is not available. It's as though the Tacx ant dongle is dead. I was thinking it's a weird usb issue ...... clutching at straws because ant+ is fine on Zwift & Bkool. With TDA open I see BT icon lit up. I unplug BT ...

Hi Michael Thanks for the advice. This is a clean install of Win 10 onto a new ssd. Did this because I was on Win 7 and wanted to try TDA My pc is now dual boot with Win 7 and Win 10 on seperate hd's. I still don't understand that when I close TDA and open Zwift or Bkool ant + is fine. Zwift and Bko...

Hi Mal

My ant devices don't appear because the ant+ icon top right next to the bluetooth icon is greyed out
Cheers........Steve

Hi mcorn Thanks for this. I have the correct version but still Ant + is greyed out Pic 1 ( hopefully I've attached ok ) shows version and greyed out ant+. Pic 2 shows message Ant + not available when cursor is on icon. I haven't a clue now. When I close TDA and ope Zwift everything is Ant +.....Neo ...

Hi Well that's strange. I have the same Tacx ant+ stick on extn lead under my Neo. Bkool TTS4 and Zwift find my Garmin ant+ cadence sensor and HR sensor but not TDA TDA Ant+ icon is greyed out. Neo also works using ant+ on above programs TDA was downloaded from the Google store last week How do I fi...

Thanks Michael.
My friend has the same issue , Ant+ icon ( under devices tab top right ) is greyed out. His Ant+ devices work fine on Zwift and Bkool
Cheers............Steve

Hi Re posted here as no reply from original Tacx & Ant+ topic Is TDA working with ant+ ? The ant+ icon (top right) in my TDA is greyed out.It also says "Ant+ not available" I was led to believe that HR and cadence sensors would connect via ant+. My ant+ devices work fine on Bkool &...

No Replies !!!
Ant+ icon , top right on TDA is greyed out and also says "Ant+ not available" My Ant+ devices work fine on Bkool and Zwift.
Cheers.........Steve

Agreed Alex.......A great opportunity missed !!!
Cheers..........Steve

Hi Alex Why didn't Tacx ever promote/release this ??.......Just shows how far ahead of the game they were !! Mind you I think "Netathlon" was the first leader in virtual training with their cycling and rowing program. I've heard that Zwift's Eric Min saw Netathlon and said "I can do b...

Hi mcorn

To be fair ..If they're not familiar with the situation then they shouldn't reply .........or at the very least get familiar and offer a genuine reply !!!
I'd suggest TTS 4 / legacy queries are being dealt with by Garmin staff rather than former Tacx employees.........Cheers Steve
