The 'Unofficial' Tacx Forum

I'm using TTS4 with an ancient BKool Connect - USB cable from the trainer to the computer, and am Ant+ USB stick - it needs both. Works fine.

TTS4 should work with any ANT+ trainers

Despite being end of life, TTS4 can still be used for multiplayer on the same network for 2+ computers. To ensure you can ride together on the same network, select LAN Racing when creating (hosting) your ride. Firewall settings and virus scanner The first time you do this, windows normally informs y...

Worth trying, I like the idea a lot. real world meets zwift/TTS VR

Bring it on! Nice work Phil - some great climbs and scenery there.

Also liked Road Grand Tours original desktop BETA which still worked a couple weeks ago with the caveat that since the change to the mobile app, I no longer 'see' any other riders on Cap Formentor. I also have monthly subscriptions for BigRingVr and Rouvy, and lately have been using the new Rouvy A...

Kostya will be very happy to hear your views on VeloReality. It's a good platform and often doesn't receive the credit it deserves. I've only used the demos unfortunately - and that was some time ago. When it comes down to software for indoor training, I've become a hoarder :p The Zwift Competitors ...

I use to load in all the GPX routes into Google Earth, but this is better. It's good to see a 'world' view of the rides and drill down to see the routes winding through the countryside. In TDA - the map is too small and fiddly I find. BTW the only Australian route shown isn't far from my house :p Po...

Mike the main ‘perceived’ litigation threat to Garmin & Tacx is the US with its high number of cycling lawyers (like you ;-) ) & it’s why there are actually no US films at all now & why none of those pulled from California were returned. Interesting, wondered why they disappeared. Hopef...

Do you mean like RLV studio etc., most are still around - though I don't think many have been updated in a long time.

Why not just create a new user with the same name and copy any history from the old computer. I've done that on three PCs last month without any issues - one of which is not connected to the internet at all.

The altitude data looks very much like representation in 3D Route Builder. I remember trawling through several thousand entries for a couple RLV's I made of the Richmond Park, UK circuit. Alas, just when it was decent enough I had a drive failure and lost the lot. Never got round to recreating it ag...

Guys, remember we are all on this forum to discuss, swap information and general chat about Tacx trainers and software (in its many guises), not have political debates, taunting or bullying. While you may not feel it amounts to bullying or inflammatory content, others who visit this forum may. The m...

Alas almost all technical companies fall foul of local laws in one way or another. Some very minor and obscure laws, some more visible. It's a sign of our times alas. And that makes it okay, or what? No.. it doesn't, but as I said it's a sign of our times. We live in a digital era these days, an er...

Quite simply, if you buy a product in Germany, you have the right to use it without restriction. This is not the case with TTS4 and therefore most likely violates laws. And what does it have to do with the fact that you were a customer of mine many years ago? With this comparison I just wanted to s...

We use to host an online GPS Smoother applet, but had to hard code the applet to work. Rather than embed it. Brenda created it and good it is! I've used it a lot. More since the 3D Route Builder stopped working due to changes in the Google Maps API. It is still available on Brenda's website: https:/...

Thanks for that - I now have the Program Data file, but this has been created by the reinstall and is dated last week. All the Run folders are empty as I have done no rides since the install. Is it possible this data is not kept in a save point? Finally, make an effort on yourself and look at these...

Every Windows 10 system has ProgramData - often hidden though.

• Press "Windows Key" + R

• Type: %ProgramData%

• Press Return

Voila PrograData folder opens

Eri, If you would like your RLVs to be hosted on Lunicus - please let me know.

Dodgy power supply. Every time we have a power outage this happens... Sounds like time to swap out the PS and maybe get a UPC. Since I have been fiddling with TTS, I have frequently been making a backup of the entire TTS4 folder in ProgramData. That folder contains the license file and other import...

Didn't work for me a few weeks back when my TTS4 pc corrupted.

There are a couple ways to Extended Security Updates (ESU) on Windows 7, to continue using it after Microsoft pulls the plug. The Legal Method: Purchase Windows 7 ESUs through a CSP, customers should contact a CSP partner. If you are a partner and need details on procuring Windows 7 ESUs through the...

As TTS4 is no longer supported and the TACX authorisation server is offline. Should you encounter an issue with your license that stops TTS4 from working, there is very little you can do to get it working again. Tacx will not be able to provide a new registration code or license file. Hence the only...

I also experienced the doomed PC issue with a corrupt Lic file in the past. In the end Tacx issued a new Lic. If I trawl through my emails, I can see 7 new Lic files over the years. In all those cases, my legit (hard copy) serial was not recognised by the authorisation server. By the way, changing t...

I tried TDA with a Bkool Smart Connect trainer (ANT+). It doesn't connect to the trainer despite showing it in the devices list. Where it identifies the trainer with a Cadence and Speed option. Instead I put a Garmin Speed/Cadence sensor on the bike. TDA picks that up, which allows the rider to use ...

Yes, LAN racing... alas the google maps have stopped entirely now.

My TTS4 license file (*.lic) corrupted yesterday, so even with a valid serial you cannot get it reauthorised. Fortunately, I had a system restore from a few weeks back that saved the day.

Happy to say that local TTS multiplayed (LAN mode) works a treat

I can say they are returning the test videos, at least we just made a new short 2km demo from some left over footage taken in the Vineyards near next years worldchamps route. Vineyards stomp - look forward to that one. Love riding through the vineyards, fortunately for me I am surrounded by hundred...

Is there a link on this site (or anywhere else) that I can download the V2.02 software and V2.03 + v2.04 patches from. My driver software on v.1.32 and 1.34 which I do have is not working even though I have used a vanilla Vista 32 bit installation. https://lunicus.org/tacx-trainers/fortius-software...
