The 'Unofficial' Tacx Forum

In the manner of George Washington's axe, I still use Tacx's training stuff since Grande Excel up to it's last incarnation under Windows XP. Must be more than twenty years now. I was hoping that it would see me out ..... but two days ago this unit failed. This is in the incredibly remote off chance ...

Now WinXP has gone I suspect that there are very few of us now actively using the old VR terrains, with occasional Catalyst sessions, but I find that there are still treasures to be found. Ambitions now include exploring and, even possibly annotating, the maps. I have a friend who is both a professi...

Massive thanks to someone who PM'd me from Italy with beautiful overhead map images of all the terrains - works of art in themselves and now printed out to be in front of me when I ride - I will get them framed and put on the wall in front of me later. They are detailed enough to enable me to steer ...

Thanks Malcolm

It's been awhile since I looked, but I thought there was a map on the selection screen similar to this page from the software manual. I seem to recall that you can get a little more detail. P.S. I assume, based on where you posted this, that you are referring to the Fortius software and not TTS. Pa...

You know, like Tolkien's Middle Earth? Presumably the programmers knew. After many years, I still haven't worked them out and I get the impression that some of the terrains join up. It would be good to have a map on the wall in front of me where I can mark where the dragons are most likely to be.

This was my first attempt of a custom RLV. It's a short part of the Ocean Road in Norway, and I'm happy to share it with everybody here. http://www.mediafire.com/file/t430ktb4m4vwmi6/NO_Ocean_Road.zip/file Enjoy. Tried this - but it doesn't seem to be there any more? I'll try uploading it again. ed...

FYI - download links have gone missing for the custom RLVs (ex: Mount Baw Baw – Australia).

Yes - presumably they will appear sometime ..... but I keep checking in order to finish the Mt. Macedon download (I was half-way through when it went off line!)

Thanks - is there anything I can do about it? Bearing in mind that I am not IT savvy. Any downloads available to fix these things?

So nearly there. But not quite. What could be the cause of RLV's showing beautifully in (TTS3) Simulation Mode but then a) become irritatingly pixellated (like a coloured snow storm) when in Training Mode and b) cycling too slowly in Training Mode. a) happens to my commercially bought DVDs as well a...

The RLV folder MUST be somewhere, but where? Somewhere here: C:\Documents and Settings\all users\Application Data\Tacx\TrainerSoftware\TTS3\ Thanks Alex - found it! And now installed and "working" (but see additional posting re pixellations etc) Sorry for delay in response, I was expectin...

I sent you a private message. The videos on the Lunicus site (which this forum is part of) work fine. You have to download the video file in parts and reassemble and manually install it in TTS. Thanks for this - and for the videos on the Lunicus site, which would be great to play around with now th...

Thanks Michael. I know it looks like that on first glance .... but when actually explored I have come to a dead end. Can you give links to those that are still active? There is a Danish site https://www.route4u.dk/index.php/forum/announcements/190-15-years-with-route4u-dk-ends-now#448 , which looks ...

My legacy setup still struggles on - VR / Catalyst has kept me going for years. It is only recently that I have realised that it may be possible to use RLV as well - it is not something I have been into. But all the sites that previously have offered this seem to be defunct. Or those that aren't don...

I know the TTS3 world is moribund, even though it is still widely available on ebay. I have been able to download the last version, courtesy of Tacx, but there still seem to be a particular bug on certain routes and it would be useful to know beforehand which ones. Basically the visual VR continues ...

Are we allowed to know? My training with Tacx dates back almost twenty years, starting with the Grand Excel. Then gradual and inexpensive upgrades to, finally, TTS3 running on WinXP. I have known for a long time that that will be the end of the line - but it continues to suit me and I continue to ha...
