The 'Unofficial' Tacx Forum

... know how to test Any help greatly received I don't recognize the T1610 number. What software and trainer are you using? If it is an old Fortius or Imagic (Flow) trainer, the cadence sensor is a simple on-off switch. It is basically a reed switch that closes when a magnet is adjacent to the sensor. ...

Hi guys, I have a used Tacx Imagic trainer, + a steering frame, + upgrades (i-flow, Smart), and software/ routes that I want to find a new owner. See pictures for details. Parts are in good shape, but this is a piece of old equipment and ...

... At the time I was involved in posting information here, I had active configurations in use and could confirm a couple different Tacx trainers (iMagic green, and Fortius blue) ran perfectly on my Windows 10 64-bit OS. As I no longer have these trainers in my possession (gave them away for others ...

... ago and worked very good). My goal is use the old real life video with the old blu software and old XP Computer (where i have also a old green Imagic Trainer :D ) Now...the problem. My old Fortius trainer was with Blu 1942 USB interface, this i buyed have the white T1932 (with blu ring) USB ...

... 16 mph. Then calibration times out. Speed cadence and power all work well doing a workout or VR. Are you sure you have a Fortius brake and not an Imagic/Flow? When you calibrate the Fortius, you do not pedal. Speed does not matter. It powers itself to the correct speed without any pedaling by ...

... should self-motor after briefing touching the pedal. It will run for a few seconds by itself and then roll to a stop. This is different than the Imagic/Flow, where you have to pedal by yourself and get the unit up to a certain speed before stopping.

... on my Windows 10 VM image that made sense. I managed to get around these calls and now everything works fine and all my old RLV collection and iMagic & Fortius trainers are useable once more :D

Hi, finally I realised my Tacx imagic hardware is OK. I left my an old 32-bit laptop with Win7. I misunderstood in FortiusANT manual that it is obligatory to run Tacx imagic hardware on 32-machine, so I forced some days to launch Tacx hardware ...

As I recall from the old Tacx forum (which is now defunct with no archive for these valuable posts), there were many discussions of the Imagic driver issue. It is possible that the driver installer for this old software was written for older operating systems (Vista, XP) and do not work quite ...

The software you are referring to does predate the Fortius software. It is called the Tacx I-Magic software (it was often referred to as the "Green" software). There was also an additional VR terrain for that software called Sipscape that you could add. They also had a separate program cal...

Hi Mike, "Capricorn" terrain was included in original (one of the first?) issue of Tacx i-magic :) I think it was before Fortius software (and hardware) was launched. I remember when I used my i-magic there was real motion video option announced as a future feature ;) Maybe someone will he...

To be honest, I can't remember which software had the Capricorn terrain.

Hi Mike, I remember, when I used i-magic several years ago steering interface worked perfect. I mean, it was easy to calibrate it and animate turns were adequate to real handle bar turns. I used in those times terrain called "Capricorn". Fortius which I downloaded now from your link is sim...

Which software are you using? I don't recall if there was a way to adjust steering sensitivity, but I remember that steering was pretty crude. You generally steer by doing very small turn inputs and then returning to the neutral position. it's been a while since I used the steerer, which was mostly ...

... in the link you've mentioned. Downloaded, launched on an old PC 32-bit machine with Vista and... it works!!! Yeah!!! My old unused for years iMagic hardware works pretty well with old unused laptop :) Great!!! Thanks a lot :) I have only one problem with steereng calibration. Simply steering ...

Hi,
thanks for help, I will follow mentioned link.

I would suggest you read the posts on this forum on the Imagic:

Hi, I dug up my old imagic trainer and would like to run it on current training software I have no any software with my imagic hardware, no CD, no any codes (if needed) - only complete hardware T1901. This is green control box. Is it ...

... Not sure any of them are going to be a lot quieter than your Fortius unless the Fortius is particularly noisy due to age and wear. However, the Imagic is somewhat quieter than the Fortius but you might have trouble finding one. The newer trainers like the Neo are quieter. You use those with ...

... reference it. You could of course just google for 'FortiusSWPID1942Renum.hex' and find it without too much trouble. And for the i-magic... Tacx Imagic trainers require firmware to be loaded. This firmware is embedded within the device driver I-magic.sys which is provided by Tacx BV. This is ...

... tested FortiusANT to confirm that it works. I see from p. 10 of the manual that there is a separate discussion on the model 1902 solid green Imagic head unit and use of a legacy USB protocol. Many years ago Tacx advised everyone that it was not possible to communicate with this head unit ...

... hardware which was unbelievably over-complicated for what it was trying to do. It had many problems in my experience. I've owned the classic Flow (Imagic) and a Flow Smart and I am a big fan due to its simplicity, reliability, and price. The main thing that high level cyclists might not like is ...

Stay healthy Eike just started to use FortiusANT on my old Macbook last week with Tacx iMagic, two ANT+ dongles and CABLE as a bridge to my iPad running Zwift. --- ^^^ Should be enough to be confident this answers your question regarding ...

... That is an interesting link. There are several installer packages shown, including for Imagic 1902 and 1904 handlebar controllers. The T1902 is all yellow-green and has always been described buy Tacx as only compatible with a 32-bit OS. ...

So, if you have a steering cable, you must be using an older USB-connected Fortius or Imagic trainer. I am a bit surprised that this would make any difference, but you can go into the Devices setting and remove this device to see if it helps. When was the last time ...

One question that I posed earlier is whether FortiusANT works with the Imagic and the original handlebar controller (yellow green color, but some were white) that came with the Imagic. Even though the manual states it works, has anyone actually tested it? That ...
