Windget Virtual partner disappeared from the control ?!?

TKU01 3 days ago

Hey Garmin-Blake
In SW 13.13 the ‘Virtual Partner’ switch has now disappeared, is that intentional or another new BUG? And I and others are writing it for the thousandth time, finally build a switch that you can completely switch off the virtual partner, he annoys us endlessly.

It's still in your DOKU anyway ;-)

That looks very much like a 1050. This is the 1040 forum. On my 1040 the virtual partner widget is still available on the 27.13 firmware.

If it is 1050 then a VP menu option is dynamically added to the control page list when a course is active.

Oops, sorry you're right of course, it's the 1050 range here. But we also have the same problem with the 1040 SW 27.13

aweatherall Thank you again for your answer / explanation!!

Yes, it is the 1050, so is the selection / windget ‘Virtual Partner’ only available with an active course so that I can only then change the speed so that I no longer see the VP? But we have the same problem with the 1040 SW 27.13, is it the same with that one? Is it possible to simply switch off the VP? Yes, I know, this discussion has been going on here for years...

I just tried on my 1040, following a course you get the VP option to increase / decrease the "effort" (ie the course default speed) but if not following a course there is no option, question: when did that change, I am sure on my 1040 you could still race the VP without a course in which case the option asked for a speed and it certainly does that on my x30. Isn't progress wonderful?
